Song for Sunday.

Bring me to life.

Help!

Lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.

Lazy day at the beach.

Just been thinking about this song.

Comfort music.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; the Twilight Saga - both books and films - are my idea of bliss and I make no apologies for this.  I love some of the music from the films too, from the songs that play in certain scenes to the film score.  Listening to my favourites always cheers me up.

I guess this is as appropriate as anything.

Amy Winehouse was found dead.  Shocking.  Saddening.  Heartbreaking - for her family, friends and fans.  I was never a lover of her music - except for the Valerie song - but she had talent.  And she had demons that ate her up.  Addiction is still a taboo subject and something people just don't understand.  Even I can't understand how someone with the talent she had could succumb to drug addiction, but then I'm not a drug addict and don't understand what it is that something like Smack has to offer a person.

As I have already used Valerie on this blog and because I do not like any other songs by Amy, I thought I would use this one.  Firstly, when I hear of someone's death (and let's face it, we have had more than our fair share of death recently in this family) I get to thinking about what I want at my own funeral and this is one of the songs I would like to have.

Secondly, Amy will live on in her music and the memories her family, friends and fans have of her, so it seems kind of appropriate.

Journey well to the Summerlands Amy, I hope you find peace wherever you are now.

Wobbles.

I had a bit of a wobble yesterday.  I felt so inspired by something and started planning my future; a future where I go out to work and have a really awesome job.  Then reality hit and my chronic illness mocked me and I felt really down.

Music from the past........

......often gets stuck in my head - story of my life ;)  - and it often pops in there at the most inopportune moments.  We had a pretty crappy day here in Chez Park yesterday and I just wanted to be sat feeling sorry for myself.  But oh no, in pops this song and all the memories that go with it.

Sunshine on a rainy day.

I can't get yesterday's song..........

.........out of my head.  Yup, I'm still playing it and singing it and been pounced on but it.  I can't really repost it for today, so I thought I would have another Mamas and Papas song.

Monday, Monday.

This is in my head today.

Happy with the changes I have made in my life.

I've made some changes in my life, I took a rhetorical broomstick and swept out my entire life.  And I feel free, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.  It feels really good.

Tripping

Men! Meh!

Cotton Eye Joe.

Just because......

Sunshine needed.......

I could really use some sunshine right now

Moving on up.

Cos sometimes you just gotta leave the past behind.

Because we have a spider.............

.............residing in the overflow of our bathroom sink.

*shudders*

Strawberry Ice Cream

I have just made my first batch of ice cream - Strawberry flavoured - with my new ice cream maker.  Can't wait to taste it, yum!

See, I've already waited too long and all my hope has gone.

Cloudbusting.

Going round the twist.

Weird song alert.

OK, so yes I am known for my....how can I say this?.....eclectic musical taste, but I have no idea why this song is in my head.  I haven't heard it anywhere recently, I just woke up with it tootling away inside my head.

Bigots.

I was reading a blog today and the drivel that the woman had written was shocking - usually I am pretty unshockable.  Well sweetheart, you are a very nasty person and have shown yourself to be everything you claim not to be.  This one's for you dear!

Crazy In Love

Happy Birthday DH.

Many moons ago when my DH was 21 he had a birthday party.  And he had a secret crush on a 17 year old and so he invited all of her friends to his party, just so she would turn up.  And as is the polite thing to do, he went round each of his guests and thanked them for coming........except me.  Yes, he totally blanked me because he was far too shy to speak to me.

I remember that night well.  It was a midweek party (obviously his birthday was on that particular day) and I had to be up at five a.m. the next morning for work.  Alcohol was out of the question as I obviously didn't want a hangover for my shift the next day.  Boredom was kicking in, everyone was having a good time and yet here I was bored silly and obviously (or so I thought) not good enough to speak to.

If only I had known how he really felt , huh?

Anyway, this song was playing that night, I remember it well.
