A Pretty Song

It’s Friday, time to slow down a bit for the weekend and mellow out.  I hope you enjoy this song, it’s so pretty and sad.

 

"Catch The Wind"

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

Di di di di, di di di di
Di di di di, di di di di
Di di di

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind

For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

 

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

My New Favorites And An Old One

A couple of my new favorite songs.

(Skip ahead to the 2:00 mark where the actual music starts.  This is a racy video, beware!)

Uh, yes!  I’d be alright making love like gorillas with Bruno!  Yummy!  But holy crap is that a racy video!!!  Yowsa.

This one is much more tame. 

Aw, Miss Miranda, you can do no wrong in my eyes!  Love that girl!  That is one of those ‘crank it up’ songs! 

If you aren’t ready for Christmas songs yet then skip this one, but I had to share it because I just love it!

I’ve always loved Neil Diamond and I love most of his versions of Christmas songs but I love this one the most because he actually wrote it himself and it just captures what Christmas is about with the ones you love.  Super great song!

Happy listening (and viewing)!

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!
