Sublime Music On Selfish Saturday

Today’s offering is from Neil Diamond and of course it’s the classic Song Sung Blue.

Hope your Saturday doesn’t leave you with the blues.

Lyrics – Song Sung Blue

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good

Sublime Music On Selfish Saturdays: I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas

It’s the Saturday before Christmas so I feel obliged to share a seasonal tune. This isn’t my favorite Christmas tune but I love it all the same.

When it comes to sublime music at Christmas this one must surely be head and shoulders above the rest. What else needs to be said?

Sublime Music On Selfish Saturdays: Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Dave — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:58:39 +0000

Selfish people share their music with others whether they want to hear it or not, so on Saturdays I’m going to share with you some of the music that I like – and I don’t care whether you like it or whether you don’t. You’ll simply have to learn to ignore it (which I suspect will be the case) or endure it.

OK, so the real reason is I can’t afford and ipod and I want somewhere to store free music.

This is Israel Kamakawiwo’Ole singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What a Wonderful World, which in my humble opinion is an absolutely sublime piece of music. It sends the goose bumps into overdrive!

One day I fully intend to edit together video clips of my children growing up and have this as the soundtrack.

My career choice as a Stay-at-home Dad is taking much more of my time this week so there’s less time for blogging and Twittering.

That said, I still feel I have enough time to inflict my musical tastes on you.

Here’s one I love from The Four Tops.

And if you don’t like this song, you have no soul.
