Post #690: Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes - "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" - Dirty Dancing Soundtrack

So I just returned from the trip of a lifetime where I visited Mountain Lake Lodge (a/k/a Kellerman's) where Dirty Dancing was filmed.  This year celebrates the 30th anniversary of Dirty Dancing, and I have loved that movie since I was a little girl.  Even cooler is that I got to stay in Room 232, which is the same room that Patrick Swayze stayed in during the filming --- Google it if you don't believe me!!!  

Along the way, I stopped in Nashville and visited the Patsy Cline Museum and the Grand Ole Opry.  On the way back, I visited Elvis at Graceland for the 40th anniversary of his passing.  If you have any interest in checking out my travel adventures, you can do so here: https://stuffstacysees.blogspot.com/

I'll post some of my pictures from Kellerman's for you...

(Google Maps took me in from the back entrance; so this was not the first view I saw, but this is the first view in the film.)

(This is the porch area where I enjoyed my breakfast and where Dr. Houseman announced to the family that they would be leaving early.)

(Proof that I was in Room 232 and a view from inside Room 232... I also happened to be there on August 18th, which is Patrick Swayze's birthday.)

(A stone monument to commemorate Patrick Swayze's legacy.)

For even more fun photos of Kellerman's, visit my other blog at the link above.  In the meantime, enjoy the final scene from Dirty Dancing... It still makes the ten-year-old girl inside of me giddy with happiness to this very day!!!  ❤❤❤

Until next time...

Now I've had the time of my life

No I never felt like this before

Yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life

and I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long

Now I've finally found someone

To stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall

As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes

There's no way we could disguise it secretly

So we take each other's hand

'Cause we seem to understand the urgency

Just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

I've had the time of my life

No I never felt this way before

Yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you

With my body and soul

I want you more than you'll ever know

So we'll just let it go

Don't be afraid to lose control

Yes I know what's on your mind

When you say:

"Stay with me tonight."

Just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love because

'Cause I had the time of my life

No I've never felt this way before

Yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life

and I've searched through every open door

Till I found the truth

and I owe it all to you

Now I've had the time of my life

No I never felt this way before

Yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you

'Cause I've had the time of my life

No I've never felt this way before

Yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you

'Cause I had the time of my life

and I've searched through every open door

Till I've found the truth

and I owe it all to you

Post #689: Elvis Presley - "Follow that Dream" - Follow that Dream Soundtrack

In one week, I will be following a childhood dream as I pull up to Graceland to visit the spirit of all that is Elvis.  In case you didn't know, the 40th anniversary of his death will be commemorated this Wednesday, August 16th.

In the meantime, I've "Got a Lot O' Livin' to Do"... so I'll include that one too!!

Until next time...

Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream

Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving

I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need

When your heart gets restless, time to move along

When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song

But when a dream is calling you,

There's just one thing that you can do

Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need

Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving

Got to find me someone whose heart is free

Someone to look for my dream with me

And when I find her I may find out

Just what my dreams are all about

I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need

I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need

Keep a-movin, move along

Keep a-movin, move along

Keep a-movin, move along

Post #688: Cat Power - "The Greatest" - My Blueberry Nights Soundtrack

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted, huh? Many, many things have happened over this past month. I've started therapy. I know I've talked about it quite a bit over the course of the past year. I've also moved my vacation up by a full month. If you have any interest, you can keep up with my travels at this link:  http://stuffstacysees.blogspot.com.

So, as I was working on the timeline that I have been asked to bring to my 2nd therapy appointment tomorrow, today's song came on my Pandora station.  I haven't come across many people who have seen the film, My Blueberry Nights, but in case you cared, it stars Texas' very own Norah Jones.  She attended UNT at the same time I was there.

Well, I better get back to working on my timeline.  I also can't wait to give you all the details about my trip upon my return; however, until then, you can also enjoy two (2) of my other favorites, which are covers by Cat Power, called "Sea of Love", which appeared on the soundtrack for the film, Juno, and "I've Been Loving You Too Long"...

Until next time...

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stall me

And then came the rush of the flood

Stars at night turned deep to dust

Melt me down

Into big black armour

Leave no trace of grace

Just in your honor

Lower me down

Culprit south

Make 'em wash a space in town

For the lead

And the dregs of my bed

I've been sleeping

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

Two fists of solid rock

With brains that could explain any feeling

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the lead

And the dregs of my bed

I've been sleeping

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stall me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned deep to dust
