Cellestrial
Shall we celebrate the stars Travel the celestial void to Mars. Mind and soul in acceleration Time no matter the view is consolation. Our eyes open cellophane removed As we near our goal and decelorate We become masters of our fate. We are but tiny cells in the universe Dust of the Celestial void. A blessing not a curse.
Above a celestial song is for Jezzie G‘s beloved Step mum .
This week Jim Adams has past the baton for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday theme to King Ben’s Grandma ! So what is the subject she has chosen? Heavenly Bodies, Planets, Moon, Sun, Stars.
Back in 1981, two years before our third and last child was born, I was busy working and bringing up the boys, hubby was away a lot and a big hit of the time was Star. I remember the song with affection, I sang it a lot and even now it often visits me in the guise of an ear worm!

Pauline Matthews (born 6 March 1947), better known by her stage name Kiki Dee, is an English singer. Known for her blue-eyed soul vocals, she was the first female singer from the UK to sign with Motown’s Tamla. Perfect Timing is a 1981 album by British singer Kiki Dee. The album marked a brief comeback for the singer, led by the top 20 single “Star”. It was her only album on Ariola Records and reached No.47 on the UK album charts. The title track was also released, peaking at No.66. Two further singles were released; “Midnight Flyer” and “Loving You is Sweeter Than Ever” (a duet with Elton John). The album was produced by Pip Williams.
My dad taught me a lot about classical music, some of which I remember with great affection. One of these I remember with great affection was Gustav Holst’s The Planets. My favourite was Jupiter, the bringer of Joy.
.
The Planets, Op. 32, is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1917. In the last movement the orchestra is joined by a wordless female chorus. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the solar system and its supposed astrological character.
The premiere of The Planets was at the Queen’s Hall, London on 29 September 1918, conducted by Holst’s friend Adrian Boult before an invited audience of about 250 people. Three concerts at which movements from the suite were played were given in 1919 and early 1920. The first complete performance at a public concert was given at the Queen’s Hall on 15 November 1920 by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Albert Coates.
The innovative nature of Holst’s music caused some initial hostility among a minority of critics, but the suite quickly became and has remained popular, influential and widely performed. The composer conducted two recordings of the work, and it has been recorded at least 80 times subsequently by conductors, choirs and orchestras from the UK and internationally.
I also threw in a great rock/heavy metal version.
I always loved Donovan, so many hippy dippy memories come to life every time I hear his Scottish lilt! I can’t believe it was released in 1966 it sounds so much as if it should of come from a much earlier era say the 70s.
“Sunshine Superman” is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The “Sunshine Superman” single was released in the United States through Epic Records (Epic 5-10045) in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan’s previous label, Pye Records (Pye 7N 17241). The “Sunshine Superman” single was backed with “The Trip” on both the United States and United Kingdom releases. It has been described as “[one of the] classics of the era”, and as “the quintessential bright summer sing along”.
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today Could’ve tripped out easy a-but I’ve a-changed my ways It’ll take time, I know it but in a while You’re gonna be mine, I know it, we’ll do it in style ‘Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mineI’ll tell you right now Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find Everybody’s hustlin’ just to have a little scene When I say we’ll be cool I think that you know what I mean We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when? I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mineHmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind ‘Cause I made my mind up you’re going to be mine I’ll tell you right now Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can findSuperman or Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne ‘Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mineI’ll pick up your hand I’ll pick up your handSource: LyricFind.
R.E.M. what can I say ….. simply the best?
“Man On The Moon,” which appeared on R.E.M.’s eighth album, Automatic For The People, was a massive hit in 1992 and remains one of R.E.M.’s most popular tunes. It is the only entry in this list of songs about the Moon to deal with the conspiracy theories about the 1969 moon landing being faked. Mike Mills, who was credited as a co-writer of “Man On The Moon,” said that they had deliberately written about Andy Kaufman in the song because of odd theories that the comedian had faked his death. “He’s the perfect ghost to lead you through this tour of questioning things,” Mills said in 2018. “Did the Moon landing really happen? Is Elvis really dead? Kaufman was kind of an ephemeral figure at that point, so he was the perfect guy to tie all this stuff together as you journey through childhood and touchstones of life.”

Interplanetary voters
I came face to face with six young voters! It was their last day at school and their first Legal Vote and lucky them it fell on a General Election!! Why were they dressed as planets… well I have no idea but I do know that in recent years those leaving school locally have a fancy dress day and a leavers ball!

If we were having Coffee : I would tell you that Friday 8th May was the 70th Anniversary of VE Day read more here.
The three days of celebrations started at the Cenotaph at 3pm, on the 8th May. the chimes of Big Ben and ceremonial guns at Wellington Barracks and the Tower of London marked a national two-minute silence. Guns were also sounded from saluting posts in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Members of the public lined the streets and schools, organisations and companies across the UK participated.
Following the silence, the Last Post was played by a Royal Marine bugler and wreaths were laid by those attending. The service included a reading of extracts from Winston Churchill’s speech by Mr Randolph Churchill, Great-Grandson of Winston Churchill, hymns and a blessing and concluded with the playing of the National Anthem.
If we were having Coffee: I would tell you that in this week of General Elections, planet sightings and 70th VE commemorations that the hubby and I have been busy too.
Now I know that the US is celebrating Mothers Day this weekend I want to wish all mothers a wonderful day and to all children I encourage you to do do something special for your Mums they love you so!
Here is the poem I wrote for my mum some years ago
Gentle she was
Mum
Gentle she was, a young woman of means, beautiful in her Marcel Wave she was.
A hair dresser with her own shop a teaser of hair and tresses.
Then the quiet Irish man took her eye and her heart.
Not impressed were her parents with the young Irish trade unionist from the motor trade.
Time eventually brought them round to accept the vows the young couple had made.
Grief she bore when her fist born died at six months
brave she was to have more. Three girls then two boys , and two more angels lost in-between.
Then after all was finished me, making six.
Hard she worked to bring us up and support her quiet man who was there for her too.
Kind she was, good and open hearted she was.
The door always open to family and waifs and strays
big hearted she was to all who past through our door.
Always there she was, with words of wisdom and comfort.
Her beautiful heart shone through her eyes.
Patient she was but there was temper there if needed,
she was not strong or mean but if needed her children and her man she would defend to the death!
Beautiful she was in features and in heart
there was not task she would not finish if she had made a start.
Cried for her daughters she did as her man gave them away
and when her sons went too she had a proud day.
Together alone again by themselves again.
Happy she was full of the business of her quiet man.
Yet she was always ready to talk and help and ease our pain.
Cleaver she was but not school or college wise she was wise in life and love and truth and need.
Lonely she was when her man was taken ,
wept she did as she wanted to join him.
Lost she was without the quiet man .
Heart broken she became though she threw herself in to caring for grandchildren.
Gone she was before her body, her mind and soul went to him.
Lost to us she was, a smile here and there maybe a flash of recognition.
Unknowing of all around her she was,sad eyed frighted lamb lonely lonely.
Tiny she was when she went sadly lost to us long before .
Gone into her mind to find her quiet man.
Tears we shed for her,we wept in grief and I in anger because so long had she been gone and I had wanted to talk to her,
but gone she really was.
Anemones her favourite flowers were they always remind me of her.
I forgave her for leaving me and now accept she had to go
as by the side of her quiet man was where she had to be.
Mum’s favourite flowers
Never to be forgotten.
If we were having coffee : I would ask if you could do with a refill and a cake. I must close now so lets go and join Paul he is over at Mark’s place this week and all his guests they are all enjoying themselves by the fire!

Reach up for the stars, it’s not so far. Aim high fly up into the clear blue sky. Watch the birds winging by singing happy songs as they fly.
Things are so confusing, time is passing you by. We are tired of being earth bound it is time for us to fly! Ascend above the clouds and through the atmosphere lets spin off of this planet and get away from here.
Wouldn’t it fabulous, wouldn’t it be fun if we could escape gravity and tiny little bits of star dust we could become. Spinning along the milky way dipping past the Sun. Looping loops round Venus, Jupiter and Mars riding rings round Saturn playing leap frog with the stars.
Lets fly out into our universe and head out past our Sun we could we maybe find out who lives next door and ask them out to have some fun!
Alone on the edge awaiting the dawn here on the outer rim of Orion I watch the light arrive on Caprica with the morn. From here I see far beyond the horizon the endless night skies to where they reach down to frozen lands where endless snow flies.
I count the suns, one, two, three they light the pitch black but they will not light me. I quickly slip back into the cave I shall no longer walk under the suns until he returns, the one I crave.
He flies his ship around Io as he watches for ships from Jupiter below. I pray for his safe return for without him for me there is no life I know. I will him safe I will him the victor may his ship zoom and fly in hails of photons and skim through firestorms along the the event horizon I wave my fists at the climbing suns I beg them return him to me the loss I feel in my blood as it runs in my veins………… Return him I beg them please I scream or do I just implore in vain.
