Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a song for just about anything and everything in our lives ???
And how music can both transfix and transport us ....
Strains of "Danse Macabre" take me back to high school, where I played c'ello for 5 years ....
and the melancholy sounds just fill me as are so magically and hauntingly beautiful
Rachmaninof's Variations on a Theme From Paganini on their own reduce me to a puddle of tears
but when seen in "Somewhere In Time" ... Niagara Falls gets a run for its money !!
Music has always been my constant and truest companion ...
makes me smile when sad
wafting me away to another place
lifting my spirits in general ..
OR make me have to DANCE !!!!
lately .. two songs are on a continuous and interchangeable loop ..
no matter what else I try to do to block them out
not even Linda Rondstadt's Nelson Riddle favs !! such as ... Someone To Watch Over Me .... sigh
they are haunting me ...
so in the hopes that by sharing they may also haunt someone else ... hehehehehehe
Blue Bayou
I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Oh that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou..
LINDA RONSTADT LYRICS
 | Play Music |  |  |
Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time
Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time
Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.
and yes ... knew about music and driving ...
