Alicia Keys
“Good Job”

You’re the engine that makes all things go
And you’re always in disguise, my hero
I see your light in the dark
Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard
There’s no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart, know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Six in the morning
And soon as you walk through that door
Everyone needs you again
The world’s out of order
It’s not as sound
When you’re not around
All day on your feet
Hard to
Keep that energy
I know
When it feels like the end of the road
You don’t let go
You just press forward
You’re the engine that makes all things go
Always in disguise, my hero
I see a light in the dark
Smile in my face
When we all know it’s hard
There is no way to ever pay you back
Bless your heart
Know I love you for that
Honest and selfless
I don’t know if this helps it but

Good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Good job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

The Mothers
The Fathers
The Teachers that reach us
Strangers to friends
That show up in the end
From the bottom to the top
The listeners that hear us
This for you
You make me fearless

You’re doing a good Job
You’re doing a good job
You’re doing a good job
Don’t get too down
The world needs you now
Know that you matter
Matter matter yeah

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Black History Month

Black History Month, Kenny G, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Lyrics written by Bob Thiele & George Weiss, Sandro Torricelli, What A Wonderful World

Thanks to it being a Leap Year we have an extra day to celebrate Black History Month. Because of all the doom and gloom going on right now, I’m determined to end this month with something uplifting, and who better to do that than the incomparable Louis Armstrong, and his timeless What a Wonderful World? I’ve also included a spectacular lyric video created by Sandro Torricelli I hope you enjoy. There’s a lot of ugliness in the world that’s so easy to stay focused on, but it’s important to remember to, in the words of Whoopi Goldberg: Take a little time to enjoy the view.

”White Rabbit”, Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane, Lovely Lyrical Lines

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small  

And the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at all

Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you’re going to fall

Tell ‘em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call

And call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go

And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead

And the white knight is talking backwards

And the red queen’s off with her head

Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head, feed your head

~ White Rabbit, Jefferson Airplane ~

Lyrics by Grace Slick

“Time Waits For No One”, David Clark, Freddie Mercury, Lovely Lyrical Lines

I know I just shared one of these posts with Taylor Swift’s You Need to Calm Down, but today, a never-before-released music video from the incomparable Freddie Mercury was released by his friend/collaborator, David Clark. The 1986 video, filmed on the empty stage at Dominion Theatre in London, showcases not only Freddie’s breathtaking vocals as he sings accompanied only by a piano, but also, twenty-eight years after his death, proves how timely and relevant he continues to be.

A Million Dreams, Lovely Lyrical Lines, The Greatest Showman

A Million Dreams

I close my eyes and I can see 

The world that’s waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one’s been before

But it feels like home

🎼

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind

I don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

🎼

’Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

There’s a house we can build

Every room inside is filled

With things from far away

The special things I compile 

Each one there to make you smile

On a rainy day

🎼

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds

I don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazy

Runaway to a world that we design

🎼

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You  may be right, you may be wrong 

But day that you’ll bring me along

To the world you see 

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

🎼

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors in my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake 

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

For the world we’re gonna make.

Songwriters: Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Hushabye Mountain

Dick Van Dyke, Hushabye Mountain, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Robert and Richard Sherman

Today was a bit of a rough day, and I was sitting in my chair just trying to zone out when this song started playing in the background of a tv show. Hushabye Mountain has always been a comforting and soothing song for me since I first heard Dick Van Dyke sing it in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. So for any of you who also had a Manic Monday, here it is.

A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain 

Softly blows o’er lullaby bay.

It fills the sails of boats that are waiting—

Waiting to sail your worries away.

It isn’t far to Hushabye Mountain 

And your boats wait down by the quay.

The winds of night so softly are sighing—

Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.

Wave good-bye to the cares of the day.

And watch your boat from a Hushabye Mountain 

Sail far away from lullaby bay.

~ Robert and Richard Sherman ~
