Are You Lonesome Tonight ==> Elvis Presley

 

I Wonder if you're lonesome tonight ?

You know someone said that the world's a stage and each of us plays a part.

They had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.

Act one was when we met.

I loved you at first glance.

You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a queue.

Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange and why I'll never know.

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me and I had no cause to doubt you.

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies than to go on living without you.

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there with emptiness all around.

And if you won't come back to me, then they can bring the curtain down.

This one makes me nostalgic and sad. Love the lyrics. Coming at ya from 1984, Don Henley

 

The Boys of Summer

 

https://vimeo.com/214448651

 

I never will forget those nights.
I wonder if it was a dream.
Remember how you made me crazy,
Remember how I made you scream?

 

I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun.
I see you walking real slow 
And you're smiling at everyone.

 

I can see you,
Your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby.
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
After the boys of summer have gone.

Thank you so much, covfefe, and good night!

Love, Me- Collin Raye. (I put in BOLD what always makes me cry

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand
But a long, long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your grandma so"
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see
And between now and then, 'til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me
I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In theโ€ฆ
I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see
And between now and then, 'til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me
Between now and then, 'til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

I've have long admired the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh. Biographical accounts of his life reflect a man with many conflicts - his family, religion, relationships, and his struggle to be accepted in the art world. This song is touching rememberance -

 

Vincent (Starry Starry Night) - Don McLean

 

"This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you . . ."

 

 

 May your soul rest in peace, dear Vincent.

"So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" is a new song from A Perfect Circle.  I heard it for the first time when we saw A Perfect Circle live on Wednesday night (4.18.18) and I've probably listened to it a dozen times since.

 

The song has a very happy, upbeat melody which makes its dark, cynical message even more potent. I think it's absolutely brilliant (even though it makes me cry every time I listen to it).

 

 

Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps and flags

and plastic surgery


Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom,

Ali, and Leia have moved on

Signal the final curtain call

in all its atomic pageantry


Bravissimo, hip hip hooray

For this fireworks display

Mind and body blown away

What a radiant crescendo!


Ticker tape parade

Our hair and skin like

Marilyn Monroe

in an afterwind


Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On politicians, fancy water and guns

and plastic surgery


Michael, Prince and Brady's mom

All the dolphins have moved on

Signaling the final curtain call

in all its atomic pageantry


Bravissimo, hip hip hooray

What a glorious display

Melt our joyous hearts away

Under the mushroom cloud confetti


Hip hip hooray

For this fireworks display

Mind and body blown away

What a radiant crescendo!


Hip hip hooray

Hip hip hooray

Ticker tape parade

Our hair and skin like

Marilyn Monroe

In an afterwind


Time is money and money's time

We wasted every second dime

On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps and flags

and plastic surgery


Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom,

Ali and Leia have moved on

Signal the final curtain call

in all its atomic pageantry
