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

Today seems like the perfect stay at home and listen to The Cure kind of day... especially when a fantastic little gem like this one starts off the playlist... bright and sunny morning followed by some possible afternoon showers... definitely The Cure kind of day... hope your Sunday is off to a great start like mine! 

Until next time...

One perfect morning I was all alone

listening to the blaze of summer

drifting

I was falling

I was floating in a golden haze

breathing in the sky blue sounds

of memories of other days

And in my dreams I was a child

flowers in my mouth and in my eyes

and I was floating through the colours of a sky

up to the stars and angels

up up up to heaven

up up up forever

up up up to heaven

up up up forever

Turning in my climb

I looked down on a lake

and traced upon the water there

I saw your face

and sang in recollection

of the times we shared...

then pushed on ever upward to the sky

And in my dreams I was a child

flowers in my mouth and in my eyes

and I was floating through the colours of a sky
up to the stars and angels

up up up to heaven

up up up forever

up up up to heaven

up up up forever
