It is the bleak time of year..  cold and dark..  no color    so how about it we add some.. How many songs do we know that have colors in the title or words

Joyful ObservationYesterday in our car, my wife used her Bluetooth device to play some melodic cantorial chanting. At a red-light stop on the outskirts of Waikiki, I noticed a nondescript man in a vehicle next to ours. He was moving his upper body as if in sync with the Hebrew music that I found so entrancing. At first glance, the man’s rhythmic bobbing up and down reminded me of the ritual of a devout Jew who would reverently mumble to himself while praying (davening) whether it be in a synagogue or on public transportation.Of course the man in the car might have been moving his body for a variety of reasons unrelated to the music enhanced by my Bose speakers. Nonetheless, I’d like to make him an honorary member of the tribe. Serendipity is alive and well in Waikiki.

Next stop, the Twilight Zone!' //// 'You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!' //My most fav episode of all time was from Season 1, Episode 34, 'The After Hours.' I found the episode on YT! 🎉  It's here: ✨Twilight Zone S01 E34 - The After Hours ✨  🖤 Twilight Zone Intro | The Twilight Zone opening credits 🖤 The Twilight Zone (1959–1964) (IMDb)  [Opening narration - from "Where Is Everybody?" to "A Passage for Trumpet"]Narrator : There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.

The Eastern World, It is explodin', Violence flarin' Bullets loadin' WE'RE ON THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION ------ Barry McGuire, 1965 Does this scenario sound familiar?

Here's a new category to try out: Songs With An 'Attitude' It can be the title or the lyrics or both. Just have fun with it.

Lots of songs out there with a metal in thetitle. Any kind of metal in the title will work.I’ll start with a favorite of mine:Gold dust woman, Fleetwood Mac 🥇

The Kentucky Derby is oft referred to as “The Run for the Roses.” In honor of the 151st running of the race, I thought a play list of songs with the word Rose or Roses in the title might be apropos. Run at the Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky annually on the first Saturday in May, it is the first leg of the Triple Crown, which also includes the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The latter races will offer a segue to yet another fitting playlist of songs with the word Horses in the title – stay tuned. Alternately called “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” “The Fasted Two Minutes In Sports,” or “The Greatest Two Minutes In Sports,” it was actually run in under two minutes by Secretariat in 1973 with at time of 1:59.4, quicker than any song on the playlist. Amazingly enough, every horse in the field in this year’s 2025 running can trace its ancestry five or six generations back to this legendary racehorse. Dan Fogelberg’s 1981 release from Innocent Age lends

Songs with “Life” in the title or lyrics. This will be separate from Kelly’s “Living and Alive” topic since there are a lot of “life’ songs to be played.  It’s My Life - Bon Jovi 

Thought this may be a bit different and cool to try. Songs opening line should be the Song Title. I’ll start with a fav of mine: She loves you, Fab 4️⃣

So here's a song topic that I don't recall us having played - Songs about Games. What songs can you think of about games, mentioned or implied, of any sort in the title or lyrics?  So I'll start with this one as sort of a "blanket" title - - - The Games People Play - Joe South 

Songs with 'Heavy' in title, lyric, band name, genre, or a song that sounds 'Heavy.' ▼  Here's my pick!  ▼ White Zombie [ft. Iggy Pop] - Black Sunshine   ⚡️🤘🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🏽🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🏽🎸☠                 Freestyle! Let's Jam!⚡️🤘🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🏽🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🎸☠ ⚡️🤘🏽🎸☠  _____________ Complimentary       😉

TransformationWhile I was enjoying watching and listening to a spirited rendition of Verdi’s Requiem included in my subscription to the Met on Demand, I remembered the first time I had encountered that requiem. As a teenager, I loved symphonies but despised opera and other types of choral works. But my father, an aficionado of all forms of classical music, one day at his friend’s house tried to introduce me to Verdi’s Requiem. He put me in a back room, started the record player, locked the door, and left me without saying an encouraging word. I valiantly sought to find some merit in the Requiem, but I had a visceral distaste for the recording from the redundant beginning until the anti-climactic ending. Of course, being trapped in that room added to my anxiety. Although I wanted to please my father after he unlocked the door, all I could do is crack my knuckles and bitterly sigh. He had miserably failed to achieve his goal. I hated Verdi’s Requiem with a passion.Go figure! As an adult,

1st season of this show and it definitely has my attention - not just the plot but the writing style and the long list of characters who are great in their various roll playing.In most murder mysteries, you are looking for the “who done it”  but not so here - (10) episodes in and we are still trying to not only find out “who done It” but the WHO was murdered?  

We use to have a pretty good group discussing THE VOICE - but now I wonder where everybody has gone.SEASON 27 of the show and there is still no shortage of talent - In fact, this maybe the best year yet in the talent world of all different types of genres.    1st time I can remember that there were this vast style of singers moving on to the last steps of the process.  Has the show moved on from picking country so much?  Course, Blake has left but I still don’t think that is the reason - Judges this year are:   John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, and Adam Levine. I like them all especially 2nd year judge Michael Buble’- WHO IS GONNA WIN?  Who is your choice?  

Don’t know if this has been done before. Name songs about royalty or that mention royalty The King is Dead-Elton John

Any song that has One in the title: One  -  Three Dog Night One Toke Over the Line  -  Brewer & Shipley

I don’t remember doing this subject. If we did, it was years forever ago. 😸There should be a lot of these songs, titles or lyrics with jobs or occupations, etc. Journeyman - Blackmore’s Night Journeyman - Iron Maiden From Wikipedia —- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JourneymanThe term "journeyman" was originally used in the medieval trade guilds. Journeymen were paid daily and the word "journey" is derived from journée, meaning "whole day" in French. Each individual guild generally recognised three ranks of workers: apprentices, journeymen, and masters. A journeyman, as a qualified tradesman, could become a master and run their own business, but most continued working as employees.[3] 

So how many songs can you name with Food or Drinks in the Title or Lyrics.. This is a resurrected title.  Original posted 2012 and I figured it was time for a re-run. 

Hi! How are you?!  ( ◠‿◠ ) [Thought it'd be interesting to see what becomes of this... So, let's!] I will begin with:   Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below __________________⋆˙⟡ 'Thank you.' ⟡˙⋆

We all know them..  those sad sad songs that make us want to cry but that we love to listen to    

We have all posted a funny video in many topic threads. I thought it might be nice to have them in one location to view when we needed a good laugh. (I sometimes forget which ones were funny and there are sometimes many versions of videos). So, list those you posted in other threads or new ones you find. Or ones you like that are funny and never got to post in a certain topic thread. One of my favorites: Foo Fighters - "Learn to Fly " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VQ_3sBZEm0 I changed the topic title. Any funny music video is good.  

Full Moon (Pink Moon): Occurs on April 12, 2025, at 8:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time [EDT]. The full Moon on April 12, 2025, occurs just before reaching apogee, which happens on April 13, 2025, at 6:49 PM EDT. Apogee refers to the point when the Moon is farthest from Earth. When the full Moon occurs near this point, it’s classified as a 'micromoon'—the opposite of a supermoon. The first full micromoon of 2025. Since this full Moon happens about 22 hours before apogee, it will appear slightly smaller and dimmer than usual. Why does the Moon’s distance vary? The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical path, with one side closer and the other farther. While this affects its size and brightness, the difference is too subtle to notice with the naked eye. What often makes the Moon appear larger is the 'Moon illusion'— an optical effect that occurs when it’s near the horizon. Since this micromoon will be high in the sky, it likely won’t appear as large or imposing as a full Moon closer
