Like A Tiger Defying The Laws Of Gravity

Jim's Song Lyric Sunday theme for today includes a list of wild animals. I ended up getting a little carried away with this theme, and finding it very hard to pick one song. Eventually, I settled on a song that I find furiously and infectiously energetic. It is of course unmistakably Queen, with their track …

Life Has A Funny Way Of Helping You Out

Jim's theme for Song Lyric Sunday includes life and death, both of which are mentioned in my song choice for today. I was obsessed with the album "Jagged Little Pill" from Alaniz Morissette and I loved her track "Ironic". I don't think I was the only one. My friends and I loved the lyrics, it …

Drag The Past Into The Light

It seems we might be doing a little time travelling for this week's Song Lyric Sunday, with Jim asking us to pick songs on the theme "past, present or future". I thought I would go for "past". I believe this song was actually write after a period the band had been rather disunited, and yet …

Saxophone Interlude

For today's Song Lyric Sunday, Jim has invited us to choose songs which feature either a brass or woodwind instrument today. I thought of several popular eighties and nineties tracks which had a saxophone interlude. They seemed all the range at one stage, whereas I don't often hear the saxophone in modern music. I have …

Slip Into The Blue Lagoons

When I saw today's theme for Song Lyric Sunday, I thought "oh how lovely!" However, finding a song that I liked was not as easy as I thought. Eventually I settled on a song I had never heard before. Forgive me, I don't know a lot about the song, and my main awareness of Ellie …

One Year Anniversary For Lady Lewis!

Yesterday I was notified by WordPress that I have been busy producing posts for an entire year. That is quite a marker. I have changed my site during the course of the past year - selecting a theme and colour scheme I find pleasant and organized, and creating menus to display and make it easier …

The Telephone Can’t Take The Place Of Your Smile

Oh so many songs came to mind when I saw the theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday. In the end, I asked Robert to pick one from my list. I am very satisfied with his choice. This is a beautiful song, beautiful! Leo Sayer had tremendous success when he recorded the very moving lyrics to …

I’ll Be There ‘Til The Stars Don’t Shine

I like the theme Jim has chosen for this week's Song Lyric Sunday and I am sure there will be plenty of fantastic songs chosen by our fellow bloggers. Years ago I had a bit of a Bon Jovi craze, I listened to their albums over and over and couldn't get enough of them. It …

I Just Wanna Make Love To You

The temperature is rising in this week's Song Lyric Sunday! I wonder what kind of collection of songs we end up for today's theme. I have decided to play pretty safe with my song choice - after all, most of my posts are about food and drink. This song features baking and other domestic labours …

In Other Words

When I saw Jim's choice of theme for this week's Song Lyric Sunday I instantly thought of a song synonymous with Frank Sinatra "Fly Me To The Moon". Perhaps others will have thought of the very same song. But as I was preparing this post, I realized I do actually prefer Julie London's recording of …
