[ "II" you say? the original is here. ]
very randomly--
( ok, not that randomly, as i was just at a vinyl / cd shop )
kate bush is definitely in my top 5 favorite artists / bands of all time. ( i don't think i'll ever be able to definitively pick a #1 )
it is sort of weird to me, as her first album came out when i was only almost 7 years old. ( i guess all that means is that i am old. )
just out of curiosity - what is the oldest music that came out during your lifetime that is in your favorites?
the girl with the stars in her head
she shakes a dance that we never see
wanna swim with the heavy jacket on
wanna swim in a far away night
wanna swim for a new shoreline
gonna drown in this lake
( right down its middle )
a star spills out of her mouth & tumbles down the highway
she gets so dizzy
the star tells her its name is Chaubunagungamaug
but that's a demon name
or a dragon name
or a goblin name
she complains on the ground, her fingers touching the edge of the melting asphalt
fish kiss her shining eyes
& swim right down her middle
( would that they wanna )
so dizzy, drowning & floating, dancing on a midnight-hot street
the stars with the girl in their head
look! they're see-saw singing there
on the wrong side of the lake

🌟 Top 100 Favorite Songs of All Time Challenge 🌟
Day 53 (February 22, 2025)
I've been a fan of the Phantom of the Opera since I first heard the Original London Cast production of it. Would love to have seen it when it was on the stage. But since I didn't live in England at the time nor anywhere near Broadway, it was not to be. But I'm thankful for the soundtrack. The Phantom soundtrack has a couple of appearances in my Top 100 Favorite Songs of All Time countdown.
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Andrew Lloyd Webber (performed by Sarah Brightman)

Now for something a little different. Glen Campbell-Classical Gas.
And something a bit sadder. His last recording as he was losing his ability to make music and remember his loved ones

//this song is like a memento of sorts from my childhood, my dad playing it on the radio while soldering microchips or working on something. And, I love to sing along to it in the car now, it's fun!//
//no pressure, just a fun music tag game//
i've been trying to think of a song that'd qualify that i haven't previously shared ... i may have posted this one before? ages ago? i haven't a clue.
if you like it, consider yourself tagged.
a storm comes, she dances in
raining & loud
she'd be yelling at ice
a snow shout, a sort-of fire
but no
though still raining & loud
raining & loud
she comes with the breaking sun
she comes with a crashing song
there'll be flowers in your driveway
there'll flowers in my hair
i'll be flailing wildly
in the flowers everywhere
dandelions for the highways
mums for this mud
lilies for my graveyard
& roses for my blood
