When I was a kid…just 4 years old or so, I liked to sit in the bathtub and sing. The acoustics were awesome in that big old tiled bathroom. It makes me laugh now, thinking of that little 4 year old belting out Skeeter Davis’ “The End of the World” 09 The End of the World
When I was a teen ager I was fascinated by Judy Collins’ “Both Sides Now”. I thought that was really what love was like….You know, 05 Both Sides Now 1
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way that you feel
as every fairy tale comes real; I’ve looked at love that way.
Then I got married and my Anthem turned to Gloria Gaynors’ “I will survive”. Until the divorce was over anyway. 2-20 I Will Survive
Then I got married again and my Anthem were two different songs….first Wilson Phillips’
“Hold on” 01 Hold Onand finally Ace of Base’ “I saw the sign”. 04 The Sign
When I finally met my real “Mr. Right” I was singing Livingston Taylors’ “First Time Love”. 02 First Time Love 1
When I finally retired I was constantly singing Coldplay’s Viva la Vida… 07 Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Now that I’m in the mid life phase I find myself drawn to Carly Simons’ “Life is Eternal” 04 Life Is Eternal
