Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I've been catching up on the TV series, This Is Us, and at the beginning of one of the episodes in Season 3 (titled, Toby; episode no. 5), the Beatles song (John Lennon wrote this song for Yoko, right before they got married back in 1969), Don't Let Me Down, was playing in the background.

I haven't heard that song in years, so I went in search of a cover of that song, over on YouTube and found an awesome version done by Chris Stapleton, Sheryl Crowe and Brandon Flowers (he's the lead singer of the band called The Killers). See what you think about this cover. I liked it a lot. Hearing it brought back all kinds of good memories from ages ago.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Trivia about this song which was written for the movie, The Wizard of Oz:

"Over the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") is a classic Academy Award-winning ballad song with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. It was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz, and was sung by Judy Garland in the movie. Over time it would become Garland's signature song.

In the film, part of the song is played by the MGM orchestra over the opening credits. About 5 minutes later, Garland, in the role of Dorothy Gale, sings "Over the Rainbow" after unsuccessfully trying to get her aunt and uncle to listen to her regarding an unpleasant incident involving Dorothy's dog Toto and the nasty spinster Miss Gulch (Margaret Hamilton). Dorothy's Aunt Em tells her to "find a place where you won't get yourself into any trouble", prompting Dorothy to walk off by herself and sing the song. The famous sequence itself, as well as the entirety of the Kansas scenes, was directed (though uncredited) by King Vidor.

"What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" was a hit single recorded by Jimmy Ruffin and released on Motown Records' Soul label in the summer of 1966. It is a ballad, with lead singer Jimmy Ruffin recalling the pain that befalls the brokenhearted, who had love that's now departed.

You'll Never Walk Alone by Rodgers & Hammerstein was written for the Broadway musical Carousel (1945). 20 years later, Gerry & the Pacemakers covered the original song by R&H, making it popular once again.

Liverpool FC adopted this song as it's official anthem, as well as a few other soccer clubs around the world.

I was watching Big Little Lies (season 1. DVD) and it occurred to me that the mega hit by The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want, was covered at the end of the last episode of season 1.

sorry bout the chords



[Verse 1]
G D Em
There’s nothing round here that I believe in
C Am
‘Cept you, yea you
G D Em
Nothing here to me that's sacred
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you

[Chorus]
C
You're the one that reaches me
D
You're the one that I admire
C
Every time we meet together
D
My soul feels like it’s on fire
C
Nothing matters to me
D
And there's nothing I desire
Am
'Cept you, yeah you

[Verse 2]
G D Em
Nothing 'round here I care to try for
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you
G D Em
I’ve got nothing left to live or die for
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you

[Chorus]
C
There's a hymn I used to hear
D
In the churches all the time
C
Made me feel so good inside
D
So peaceful, so sublime
C
And there's nothing that reminds me of that
D
Old familiar chime
Am
Except you, yeah you

[Bridge]
C
I used to play in the cemetery
G
Dance and sing and run when I was a child

and it never seemed strange
C
But now I just pass mournfully
G
By that place where the bones of life are piled

I know something’s changed

[Verse 3]
G D Em
I'm a stranger no one sees me
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you
G D Em
Nothing matters much or even pleases me
C Am
'Cept you, yeah you

[Chorus]
C
No nothing hypnotizes me
D
Or casts me in a spell
C
Everything runs right through me
D
Just like water from a well
C
Everybody wants my attention
D
Everybody’s got something to sell
Am
'Cept you, yeah you.

[Outro]
Am G
Girl I'm loving you.

Cannonball Adderley Sextet in Switzerland 1963 - Work Song
r3BulaEQHT8



I probably first heard this song by Cannonball in the mid 70s and it didn't do anything at all for me. In fact, I thought it was on the boring side. Then in the late 80s I started listening to other bands that recorded this song and they were terrible. I'm talking about hard-core, bebop bands like MJQ and they just didn't get it. They sounded horrible.

This song has a "snap" to it and a band has to be really tight (Duke Ellington tight) to get it right. The "snap" represents the bang as the prisoners work in a chain gang. Nat Adderley knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote the song, it took me almost 20 years after first hearing it for me to understand.

That said, I'm a big fan of Cannonball and have never been a fan of Nat Adderley. Give me another 20 years and I'm sure I'll start sending shout-outs for Nat.

I don’t think Mariah really gave this song her all, like some other ballads she has done before. But I like her vocal control. ❤️. She’s got an amazing range.

But… nothing can replace the original song by Journey. For sure.
