Song Lyric Sunday – Who’ll Stop the Rain

This week, host of Song Lyric Sunday, Jim Adams, has prompted us with songs that mention Rain.

Song Lyric Sunday – Mr. Tambourine Man

Welcome to another Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by our friend Jim Adams. This prompt today is to find a song that mentions a musical instrument. I have chosen Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds. Nowadays a tambourine is rarely used in modern music and neither is a harmonica for that matter. Enjoy this song fromContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Mr. Tambourine Man”

Song Lyric Sunday – Strange Fruit

The prompt for today’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by Jim Adams, is for a song that mentions a fruit. I have chosen this jarring and unforgettable song by Billie Holiday called “Strange Fruit”. I remember the first time I ever heard it. The lyrics were like a dagger in the heart and I was soContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Strange Fruit”

Song Lyric Sunday – I Just Died In Your Arms

Another week rolls around and the prompts for today’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by our friend Jim Adams, are Death, Destruction, Pestilence and Famine. Hmmm, I wondered if Jim was having a bad week. Anyway I looked on the bright side of the prompts and chose a somewhat romantic song about trying to reconnect withContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – I Just Died In Your Arms”

Song Lyric Sunday – Automatic

I didn’t think too hard about this week’s prompts for Song Lyric Sunday. Our host Jim Adams said ‘it might be challenging to find something to fit”. He suggested we just go with anything if we’re stuck. So after reading the prompts, Automated, Mechanical, Modern and Robotic, suggested by Melanie B Cee of Sparks FromContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Automatic”

Song Lyric Sunday – Don’t!

The prompts for today’s Song Lyric Sunday are Can’t, Don’t, Shouldn’t and Won’t. The first song that came to mind was Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frank Valli and the Four Seasons, but on checking I realized I had used it before in 2019. So back to the drawing board. I found thisContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Don’t!”

Song Lyric Sunday – 2000 Light Years From Home

I have to admit that I was not excited about today’s prompts for Song Lyric Sunday Songs featuring. Space, Planets and Aliens in the title or lyrics was suggested by Di of the blog pensitivity101. Sorry Di! I have never been a space fan and could only think of two songs that relate to theContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – 2000 Light Years From Home”

Song Lyric Sunday – The Way We Were

This week’s Song Lyric Sunday prompt is Lights, Camera, Music. Yes, we are looking for memorable movie music scores. This was easier than I thought. An old favorite movie and song of mine is “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand. The movie featured her and Robert Redford and is definitely worth watching if youContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – The Way We Were”

Song Lyric Sunday – Angel

This week our host of Song Lyric Sunday, Jim Adams, has prompted us with tribute songs. What a fun prompt and I am hoping we will see a broad range of music honoring those who have died. My choice for this prompt is the beautifully moving song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. Many of us whoContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Angel”

Song Lyric Sunday – Happiness is a Warm Gun

The prompts for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by our friend, Jim Adams, are Bomb, Gun, Knife and Weapon. I have chosen probably something that will get multiple picks today. Happiness is a Warm Gun. In my opinion Lennon’s version is incredible, but I have chosen to use the one from the movie, ‘AcrossContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Happiness is a Warm Gun”
