The Kiss
I think this song is so beautiful. I want to cry every time I hear it.
Love, risin’ from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin’ me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin’ me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Sun, siftin’ thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin’ down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin’ down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
And once a crystal choir
Appeared while I was sleepin’ and called my name
And when they came down nearer
Sayin’, “Dyin’ is done”
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
Appeared while I was sleepin’ and called my name
And when they came down nearer
Sayin’, “Dyin’ is done”
Then a new song was sung
Until somewhere we breathed as one
Stars, burstin’ in the sky
Hear the sad nova’s dyin’ cry
Shimmerin’ memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Hear the sad nova’s dyin’ cry
Shimmerin’ memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
Sun, siftin’ thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin’ down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin’ down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
And lately sparklin’ hosts
Come fill my dreams descendin’ on fiery beams
I’ve seen ’em come clear downWhere our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say
“Gonna wipe all your tears away”
Come fill my dreams descendin’ on fiery beams
I’ve seen ’em come clear downWhere our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say
“Gonna wipe all your tears away”
Love risin’ from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin’ me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin’ me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss
Judee Sill was talented and kind of tragic. You can learn more about her on The Lost Genius of Judee Sill on BBC Radio 4.
A Year in the 80’s – New Wave Music
When I think of early 80’s music, New Wave is what first comes to mind. Wikipedia says that “New Wave music is an umbrella term for several late-1970s to mid-1980s pop/rock musical styles…broadly analogous to punk rock before branching as a distinctly identified genre, incorporating electronic/experimental music, mod, disco and pop.”
I think of New Wave as punk-ish, pop-ish, stylized, individualistic, creative, synthetic, and highly electronic. And like Punk, New Wave was a style beyond the music, with its own distinct fashion sense – that maybe made no sense, haha. But it was creative, you have to give them that!
Here are some videos of what I think of as New Wave Music:
Culture Club, Karma Chameleon, 1982
.
Adam Ant, Goody Two Shoes, 1982
.
Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), 1983
.
Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, 1983
.
Thompson Twins, Hold Me Now, 1983
.
Howard Jones, Things Can Only Get Better, 1985
.
I read once that the music you loved during your formative years will stick with you the rest of your life. That must be true, because I definitely still have a place in my heart for the synthetic sounds of New Wave.

How about you?

Tennis Shoes (or tennyshoes; I’ve heard it both ways)
These girls are just too cute! So I thought I’d share.
Lydia and Elizabeth compare accents:
Check out L&E Productions on YouTube!
I followed a link to L & E from Tough Bananas, where Jan and Amanda described Canadian money in a vlog of their own. It’s cute too!
