Sun is shining

Songwriters: LANGOLFF, HENRI / BASSET, FRANCIS
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know, y'all, where i stand

(monday morning) here i am
Want you to know just if you can
(tuesday evening) where i stand
(wenesday morning)
Tell myself a new day is rising
(thursday evening) get on the rise
A new day is dawning
(friday morning) here i am
(saturday evening) want you to know just
Want you to know just where i stand

When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know i'm a rainbow too
So, to the rescue here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand, know, know, know, know, know

We'll lift our heads and give jah praises
We'll lift our heads and give jah praises, yeah

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand

(wenesday morning)
Tell myself a new day is rising
(thursday evening) get on the rise
A new day is dawning
(friday morning) here i am
(saturday evening) want you to know just
Want you to know just where i stand

When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know i'm a rainbow too
So to the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand, know, know, know, know, know

We'll lift our heads and give jah praises (repeat)
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can
Where i stand, no, no, no, no, where i stand
Sun is shining, sun is shining

The remix is cool but the original version almost had a haunting effect on one.

Sun is Shining: Bob Marley: 1971

This song takes me straight back to my teens and the 80’s. I must admit that though this is a smart song, it had a very weird effect on me and I often avoided it…Sigmund Freud analyze this...just too many childhood memories attached to this particular song...

[Citizen X]

I proudly give you John Lennon "Watching the wheels."

This song is rather appropriate at this time in my life! Makes perfect sense...

"People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball"

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ahhh, people ask me questions, lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go..." John Lennon

I will always remember the summer of 1995! A song rendered by Ali Campbell, ‘Something Stupid,’ meant a great deal to me in that memorable summer!
1.In 1962, Carson Parks wrote a song ‘something stupid,’ for his fiancé Gaile. Carson and his wife Gaile, recorded this duet in 1963,
2. The father daughter duet: In 1967 Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra rendered this duet on an album called:’The world we knew.’(The true significance of this father/daughter duet will become apparent in due course!!)
3. In 2001 Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman resurrected this song. The music video oozed with sex appeal!
4. In my opinion the version that’s the most compelling is the duet between Ali Campbell and his daughter Kibibi in 1995. He kept true to the academia of reggae i.e. preserve some form of history to make it authentic. You see because Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy rendered this duet so too did Ali and his daughter. The reggae version is a music master piece in my opinion!
I give you Ali Cambell and Kibibi Campbell: Something Stupid

“I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue, and then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"

I revisted the album 'Big Love,' today, just like a time machine it took me straight back to 1995

Music captures time and place, perhaps your old self is somehow partly captured within this song.
If you were naughty when you were a teen, then perhaps this particular song has a weird feeling. When it is played you hear your old self saying “blab la bla *??we!1/@d?”, while your current long-term self says: “That does not sound-feel quite right”. That’s why it feels weird when new-self interacts with the song. It’s like visiting a house you used to live in years ago as a child, when you stumble upon this old house it feels very familiar, happy memories (perhaps bad ones) and strangeness, but it does not feel like home, it’s something else now..

Can't help falling in love with you

Real classic number. Elvis, Andy Williams and many other artists recorded it.

Angels - Robbie Williams

Seeing that we are sentimental tonight.

Billy Joel: Piano man: 1973

“It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while

And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doing here?"

Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright”

Joanna: Kool & the Gang
Joanna, who were you on our planet that inspired a pop group to write and sing a song about you????

"Joanna, I love you
You're the one, the one for me

I'm in love and I won't lie
She's my girl and always on my mind
She gives me her love and a feeling that's right
Never lets me down, especially at night
So, I'm gonna do the best I can
To please that girl and be her only man
You see, she picks me up when I'm feeling low
And that's why, baby
I've got to let you know
Joanna, I love you, You're the one
The one for me, Oh, baby
Got to be the one, The one for me, She's the kind of girl
Makes you feel nice, So, I'll try my best
To do what's right, I take her for a ride
Everything's fine
Joanna, I love you
You're the one
The one for me
Searched so far, Searched so long
To find someone someone to count on
Now I feel I've got it right here
Found it in you, baby, You, my dear
We can do all night, so nice
We'll have it all and everything will be alright
I'm promising you, take it from me
Take it home, baby”

I finally figured it out! Joanna was once this cool, sexy chick, a professional dancer. Like all people she gets old BUT Kool & The Gang reminisce with her. She now owns a resturant and they dedicate this song to her… definately my kind of sound...

Have you listened to J'taime? (see previous post) will leave you with a wet dream. He, he.

I have indeed! I approve What can I say, I have a thing for a "pretty woman."

[Blurock]

This song was banned by most radio stations as too erotic. Listening to it today, its just breathing, or you can use your imagination...

The lyrics are written as a dialogue between two lovers during sex. Phrases include:
"Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins" ("I go and I come, between your loins")
"Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue" ("You are the wave, I the naked/treeless/deserted island")
"L'amour physique est sans issue" ("Physical love is hopeless/childless/impotent/a dead end")
"Moi non plus" is translated as "I love you – me not anymore"

Pretty Woman: Roy Orbison: High Definition: 1964

“Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Wow

Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see
Is she walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman “
