When I saw today's Song Lyric Sunday theme, which is: Hidden Gems: great songs that missed the top of the charts ...I was stumped. I am afraid I just had no ideas come to mind. So I asked the worldwide web for assistance. Sure enough there were sites that listed songs that allegedly did not … Continue reading Feeling Like A Number One

So If You’re Crazy, I Don’t Care, You Amaze Me
Jim has chosen a fantastic theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday, giving me many songs to choose from. I have chosen a song from a band introduced to me by some friends who lived with his for a few months over the winter. I had no idea that The Fratellis were from Glasgow, Scotland. This … Continue reading So If You’re Crazy, I Don’t Care, You Amaze Me
Now I Come With Strange Excitement
Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme is rather upbeat, and it has coincided with a wave of sadness that has washed over me this week.

Say Things I Might Regret
It took me a while to settle on a song choice for today's Song Lyric Sunday. Of course, I could have opted for the Frank Sinatra classic, but in an effort to feature something a little different, I ended up gravitating towards an album I have owed for over thirty years. It is one of … Continue reading Say Things I Might Regret
Picture The Moon Glow That Dazzles My Eyes
Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme has given me chance to reminisce over a band who provided me with many enjoyable evenings, relaxing with a glass of Chardonnay and contemplating the wonders of life.

As soon as I saw Jim's theme for Song Lyric Sunday, I knew the song I wanted to feature. My terribly romantic husband has been singing these words to me for weeks, cheering me up after sad events at the start of this year. Nothing is quite as wonderful as somebody you have been married … Continue reading Brushes Her Long Blonde Hair
It’s Gonna Take A Superman To Sweep Me Off My Feet
Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme includes feet, and oddly, I have discovered just how many of my favourite songs surprisingly mention the word "feet". I picked one that picks me up and energizes me. Of course the truth is that Robert alone was able to sweep me off my feet - and in real life … Continue reading It’s Gonna Take A Superman To Sweep Me Off My Feet
Old Worn Out Suit And Shoes
I am looking forward to discovering the song choices for today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. I have opted for "suit" from the selection of words Jim gave us. I immediately thought of a song that I first heard covered by Dean Martin (but originally by Roger Miller). Roger Miller write a humourous song about a … Continue reading Old Worn Out Suit And Shoes
In My Life There’s Been Heartache And Pain
