This week Helen Vahdati has set us the Song Lyric Sunday theme of Shadow.
This first song by Imogen Heap, have I mentioned her before, she made this song circa 2005. Say goodnight and go. It’s a very cute song and video but it is about a stalker…so on investigation it’s a tad scary!
Lyrics here from A to Z lyrics.
Goodnight And Go”
Woah woah. Woah woah
Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
And then i’m left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time
Why d’ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It’s bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Follow you home, you’ve got your headphones on and you’re dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think you’re alone…
Why d’ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It’s bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
One of these days, you’ll miss your train and come stay with me
We’ll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You’ll sleep here, i’ll sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience
we’d be good, we’d be great together.
[Sigh]
Go!
Say goodnight and go,
why’s it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go

Secondly I have picked a fabulous song by Oasis. I just love the lyrics these guys write. So deep and meaningful almost hyms. This one is Cast no shadow.
The lyrics are in the video. There you have it two shadow songs two very different takes. Have a good week everyone.

Love two favourites of two from the SLS crowd, Tears For Fears and you’re Imogen Heap, whom I love. Was just listening to her stuff on Apple Music, just last night. Stocking, rather creepy subject matter, but she makes it sound so catchy somehow.

Yes indeed she does , like Sting of the police who made a wedding song out of the scariest stalking song ever, Every Breath you take, (I’ll be watching you). There are lots of great shadow songs about. 💜
