Happy Tuesday, friends.
Let's talk music! Have you ever woken up with a song running through your mind? I woke up this morning thinking about Johnny Cash's version of "Delia's Gone." I adore this folk ballad, which I think is a great example of narrative. The video is really well done, too. Just take a look at Cash's face; you can clearly see his regret as he recounts the tale of Delia's death.
What song is on your mind today?
Wishing you all a fantastic (and musical!) Tuesday. ☺
I've always liked Johnny Cash. This is pretty dark, even for him. But I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like that about it. He plays the part well.
Deletegreat song
ReplyDeleteI think so too. ☺
DeleteGood visuals too...have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really well-made video. :)
DeleteWonderful, I love Johnny Cash!
ReplyDeleteI'm another big fan. ☺
Deletethats powerful!
ReplyDeletei love music, but not getting a song (esp a non fave) stuck in my head!
but i love listening to music with chores, makes them go easier!
I know: earworms can be the worst! I agree about listening to music while doing chores. I need to do that more often.
DeleteI ALWAYS have songs running through my head. Currently I'm in a production of "Oliver" and so find myself constantly singing things like, "Food, glorious food!" I guess there are worse things... ; )
ReplyDeleteOh, there definitely are. :) Have fun with the production!
DeleteLovely song! Today the song in my mind is We are young - FUN. I watched Gossip Girl and I liked this song, now I can't forget!
ReplyDeleteHave a good Tuesday :D
Gossip Girl—one of my favorite shows!
DeleteI hope your Tuesday was a good one. ☺
That one is certainly catchy. I have songs stuck in my head all the time. But I'm a little weird. They're usually entire symphonies. Like right now, I have Tchaikovky's Capriccio Italienne going on in my head. ;0)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool!
DeleteGreat song! I also listen a song before i visited your blog.." For You I Will". Have great day, Dana:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Tuesday, Melgie!
DeleteGotta love the man in black. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's one of my all-time favorites!
DeleteLove some Johnny Cash. Unfortunately I have "The Fox" in my head because that's all my little guy wants to hear recently. *LOL*
ReplyDeleteYikes! That one is quite the earworm. ;)
DeleteI had never heard this song before, Dana. Interesting story line. Most of the songs running through my head are praise songs since that's the main music I listen to these days unless I hear some silly commercial with a jingle LOL :)
ReplyDeletebetty
It's an old folk ballad; several artists have covered it. I'd love to hear more about what praise songs you listen to. :)
DeleteThose jingles get stuck in my head too!
Haven't heard that song in a long time. I keep thinking of The Lightning Strike by Snow Patrol. It reminds me of my latest book.
ReplyDeleteI love how our minds associate songs with certain things or times/places. :)
DeleteI was listening to some Icelandic music today someone was playing and man it was so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteSounds nice! I could use some of that peace. :)
DeleteI play handbells, so ever since rehearsal Monday, I've been hearing one or more of the songs we're preparing for Thanksgiving and for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThose are great earworms! ☺
DeleteI've just been listening to the Beyond Two Souls soundtrack. I'm amazed how well it fits the mood of my final chapters. And we can always use a little "Cash." :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. :)
DeleteI haven't heard that one until now. I have had The Ring of Fire stuck in my head before though. :)
ReplyDeleteI have too!
DeleteI was never a big fan of Johnny Cash, but I did see Ring of Fire and really enjoyed it. I've got Natalie Cole on my mind today.
ReplyDeleteI still need to see that movie.
DeleteNatalie Cole has a beautiful voice. :)
Oh my gosh. Well done but grim. I do like Johnny Cash.
ReplyDeleteSame here. ☺
DeleteI had never heard this song by Johnny Cash. This was a really cool video bringing the song to life.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was really well-done. :)
DeleteI don't have a specific song from this morning, but that kind of thing happens to me all the time. And the funny thing is, I don't know where the songs come from. I didn't necessarily listen to them the previous day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I know what you mean. My husband and I were in the kitchen one day last weekend, and we both started singing the same song at the same time. We have no idea where it came from! Weird...
DeleteHave a great Friday!
