Musical Monday

I’m excited to be taking you on a journey though some of my most favorite songs of all time!  On this journey you’ll be travelling through the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.  But mostly the 60’s and 70’s, my favorite decades!

Today’s song makes me feel so mellow and relaxed.  I crank it up and blast it though my speakers whenever it’s on the radio. And sing really loud.  So no one else in the car feels relaxed and mellow, ha ha!  I hope you listen to the whole thing and give it a chance, it’s a goodie!  It’s original release date was in 1972.  Ahh, that was a good year.

SEALS & CROFTS

Summer Breeze lyrics

See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waitin' there
Not a care in the world

See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

So, what did you think?

If you’re like me, certain songs take you to a place, a moment in time, or make you think of a certain someone.  This song reminds me of Saturday mornings, before I was old enough to stay home by myself, when I had to go to town with my folks to run errands.  We’d always go to the feed store where the grown ups would sit around and gossip and I’d be bored to tears! But, my parents always bought me a GLASS bottle of pop from the medicine cooler (the cooler where they stored the animal medicine, think that’d pass code today?).  Now I wish I would have sat down and listened to what they were all talking about.  So the reason it reminds me of that? I believe it must have been playing on the radio when we were in the truck driving to town.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
