Rainbow Connection - The Muppets (Kermit)
Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side Rainbows are visions But only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told And some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Some day we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers , and me
Next: Dream {(er)s}

from "Imagine" by John Lennon
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
next word: someday
It's a coincidence this came up when it did. Yesterday evening, BP asked me who sang "Imagine". She was watching Lady Gaga Youtube videos on the T.V. (it just occurred to me this is why my computer was so slow at the time; the T.V. was sucking up all the Wifi juice, which I sure is the technical terminology); Gaga performed the song at some ceremony. When I told her John Lennon, she said she knew it was one of the Beatles, but couldn't remember which one. "Didn't he die?" she asked.
It might seem odd that she didn't know John Lennon sang "Imagine", or that he was senselessly murdered....until you consider the song is almost 46 years old, and Lennon was killed nearly 36 years ago!

Wifi juice = bandwidth.
It happened far enough in the past that it doesn't feel like yesterday - but it sure doesn't feel like it was 36 years ago.
Love Is The Answer - England Dan & John Ford Coley
Light of the world, shine on me Love is the answer Shine on us all Set us free Love is the answer
Who knows why Someday we all must die We're all homeless boys and girls And we are never heard It's such a lonely world People turn their heads And walk on by Tell me is it worth just another try

from "Hello" by Evanescence
Playground school bell rings again Rain clouds come to play again Has no one told you she's not breathing? Hello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to Hello
next word: breathe/breathing
Such a pretty song, but one without an official video, and one Amy Lee hasn't ever performed live; it's too personal, being about her sister, who died quite suddenly and without explanation.

I like this song...
Breathe - Faith Hill
I can feel the magic floating in the air Being with you gets me that way I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've Never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms The whole world just fades away The only thing I hear Is the beating of your heart
'Cause I can feel you breathe It's washing over me Suddenly I'm melting into you There's nothing left to prove Baby all we need is just to be Caught up in the touch The slow and steady rush Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be I can feel you breathe Just breathe
Next: Magic

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear. How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air. T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair. But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you. It's strange what desire will make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you. And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.
No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you, with you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game you play to make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way. What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
Next: Fire
