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 ~

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Freddie Mercury
20 Thursday Jun 2019
Posted in Uncategorized
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
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
30 Monday Apr 2018

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 ~

It seemed to travel with her, to sweep her aloft in the power of song, so that she was moving in glory among the stars, and for a moment she, too, felt that the words Darkness and Light had no meaning, and only this melody was real.

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Walk on Water, by 30 Seconds to Mars
28 Sunday Jan 2018
Posted in Uncategorized, YA Fiction
(Do you believe?) Walk on water
Can you even see what you’re fighting for?
Bloodlust and a holy war
Listen up, hear the patriots shout: “Times are changing”
In the end, the choice was clear
Take a shot in the face of fear
Fist up in the fiery light
Times are changing
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
(Do you believe?)
Look at the sky, see a dying star
White lies, it’s a man on fire
Making love with the devil hurts
Times are changing
A thin line, the whole truth
The far right, the left view
Breaking all those promises made
Times are changing
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe? Walk on water
Do you believe? Walk on water
Do you believe? Walk on water
Do you believe? Walk on water
Do you believe that you can walk on water?
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
(Do you believe? Walk on water)
Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?
Do you believe? Walk on water
Do you believe? Walk on water
