Thank you Bee 🐝 for this month of love songs you’ve done a great job, congratulations to everyone who joined in 💜

Today Bee has reminded us of the sadness and horror of War . I will join her with music and a poem too.

.

So many wars. All over the world from when man first walked the Earth til now. when will learn?…. Here is a poem I started to write when I was eleven years old , I am still adding verses.

WAR.

Death, Desolation, Destruction! Men taught hate men taught to wait til death comes to claim them.

Stink, Stench, Smell of bodies sinking in the mud tell their own story. Is this man’s best glory.

Drench, Damp Dripping their guns are filthy, bullets all spent . They all gave up hoping.

Boom,Bang Whistle,  they no longer hear they no longer fear the hair on their necks no longer bristle.

Dead all dead and left to rot . This was the war to end all wars ……….. How soon we all forgot.

War

Sear, Smear Singe . Nothing has changed in the theatre of war they are battling still on the fringe they know the score.

Shout , Scream Squeal they will still advance they have lost the ability to feel. No longer human their souls are worn out and why are they out there? Can you answer beyond any doubt.

Sun ,Sand, Storms fight for your life, fight for your sight fight freedom for all ..as if that day will ever dawn wait to hear the cock call!

Death, Desolation, Destruction! Men taught hate men taught to wait til death comes to claim them.

A Love Song from February 25th, 2022 and new prompt: A Very Random Challenge ~ Love Is In Da Blog 2022

Today Bee has asked us to pick a love song from today’s charts. Well this is a harsh , possibly a break up song, but a love song after all.

l have always loved the Gallagher brothers ever since our middle son played them loud and proud when he was younger….he still sends me their new tracks. He sent me this one the other week. I have posted a video with the lyrics as I think Liam, in this case, and Noel both write great Lyrics.

Choose your own prompt. East meets West Fusion. A Very Random Challenge ~ Love Is In Da Blog 2022

Today Bee has asked us to choose our own prompt. Well I love a good cross over and here is one of my favourites. No I love all sorts of music but this fusion of classical and Indian music and dance is I think delightful. Plus it has a lovely romantic ending… Oh! It’s just so colourful and happy!

Shine is the second album released by the classical crossover string quartetBond. It peaked at No. 26 on the UK Albums Chart, and went Gold in six countries. While it peaked at No. 61 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, it spent five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Classical Crossover charts. Bond described the album as having “slightly more ethnic undertones” than their first album.

A Valentine’s Song (or not ;-) ) and new prompt: A Very Random Challenge ~ Love Is In Da Blog 2022

“Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)” (Japanese title: “手をとりあって”, te o toriatte) is a song by Queen from their 1976 album A Day at the Races. Written by guitarist Brian May, it is the closing track on the album.

The song is notable for having two choruses sung entirely in Japanese, and it was released as a single exclusively in Japan, reaching #49 on the charts. (The B-side was “Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy“.) This song features a plastic piano and harmonium, both of which are played by May. They brought in a local choir to sing the chorus at the end. On the album, the song is crossfaded to a one-minute instrumental featuring a Shepard tone melody, which is actually a reprise of the beginning of the album.

A Love Song from February 1962 and new prompt: A Very Random Challenge ~ Love Is In Da Blog 2022.

Today Bee would like us to pick a love song from 1962. Well one of my favourite songs from that year ( I was nine then) was by the Every Brothers.

“Crying in the Rain” is a song composed by Carole King with lyrics by Howard Greenfield, originally recorded by American duo the Everly Brothers. The single peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100  in February 1962.

The song was the only collaboration between songwriters Greenfield and King, both of whom worked for Aldon Music at the time of the song’s composition. On a whim, two Aldon songwriting partnerships decided to switch partners for a day – Gerry Goffin (who normally worked with King) partnered with Greenfield’s frequent writing partner, Jack Keller, leaving King and Greenfield to pair up for the day. Despite the commercial success of their collaboration, King and Greenfield never wrote another song together. Info from Wiki.

“A Love Song, that isn’t a Love Song, but you think it’s a Love Song and new prompt: A Very Random Challenge ~ Love Is In Da Blog 2022 .

Oh! I am still running late this one is a day late! Bee asked up to chose a love song that is not a love song. Well my favourite singer, songwriter and musician Imogen Heap has a real beauty. Say goodnight and go . On first listen is a cutsy love song but once you listen to the lyrics it about unrequited love and the girl then turns into a stalker!
