Blue Jeans Sitting On The Beach

A much more cheery theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday. We have started to feel a little more confident about the idea of venturing overseas for some sunshine. Robert and I first met when we were holidaying in the same resort, and ever since then trips abroad have been part of our adventure together. I …

Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor

I have to admit, I am so completely horrified and appalled by the events of this year so far, I found it very difficult to search for songs referencing the words in today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. I found a song that mentioned "soldier", apparently a play on famous nursery rhymes, although I am always …

One Of My Father’s Favourite Songs

This week's Song Lyric Sunday presented us with the task of choosing from an extraordinary catalogue of songs, which were produced by Clive Davis, or signed to one of the labels he is associated with. I glanced through dozens of hit songs, and came across one that I almost featured a couple of weeks ago …

You Were Always On My Mind

Jim has given us some very inspiring themes for Song Lyric Sunday recently. I found myself quite spoilt for choice again for this week's theme. In the end, I have chosen a song that I have always loved (although the Pet Shop Boys almost ruined it for me) for it's tender lyrics, full of earnest …

Like A Madman Laughing At The Rain

I pondered long and hard about which song to feature for this week's rainy Song Lyric Sunday theme. I had thought about this track, but it is a very emotional song. At the end of the day, that is why I appreciate it. When lyricists capture feelings that touch a raw nerve with so many …

I Hear The Drums Echoing Tonight

I realized late last night that I did not have a post scheduled for this week's Song Lyric Sunday, but I had two scheduled for next week. How pleased I was that one of them could be switched over to this week's theme of musical instruments. "Africa" from Toto is effectively inspired by a love …

Drinking Orange Juice Out Of A Champagne Glass

For today's Song Lyric Sunday, Jim has asked us to pick a song that mentions a fruit. I have picked a track that we used to hear every week. I think it was a Tuesday evening, at around 6:30pm that episodes of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air were broadcast. Do you know, I never …

Danced To Death At An East Side Night Club

The theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday is a little gloomy, and as we don't want to be gloomy in this household, I decided to find a song that had somewhat of an upbeat feel to it. I am not very familiar with the band Train, but from what I have seen, they have recorded …

Automatic, Hydromatic, Systematic

For some reason, I found the theme for this week's Song Lyric Sunday very difficult. I have opted for a song that has a few famous opening lines, which convey the pride Danny has in a set of wheels. I think you will know it well, one of the most memorable tracks from the musical …

I Tell Myself That I Can’t Stand The Pain

When I first cast my eyes over Jim's Song Lyric Sunday theme for today, a song came to mind. But then I took a closer look at the selection of words Jim had listed and realized "DIDN'T" was not one of them. How glad I was to discover that this incredible song contains "CAN'T" which …
