So, I have been completely immersed in Sara Bareillis this month. I just keep my Apple Music playlist on shuffle. I Had a lyric stuck in my head and I did not know what song it was from so I searched for it deliberately and I found it! This is the lyric that was stuck in my head;

I actually was reading the lyrics to songs and when I heard this song, it sounded familiar so I read the lyrics and sure enough this is what I kept hearing! It’s from this song;

Listening to Sara all month has been kind of bumming me out because I no longer can sing but then this song also pops into my head and it is true!:

Reminds me that #MSsucks!!!

So, I really didn’t pay attention to this part of the movie during the song until about May 3 of fourth time watching it. My mind went completely blank and I looked at my Mom and asked for the guy”s name. I knew that it wasn’t Marvin Gaye or Otis Redding but I just didn’t know who it was. I was having a brain fart!

My Mom got up to get the laundry out of the washer from my room. I had renovations done to my house where they knocked a wall down and moved the washer and dryer from where they were to the other side of the house. As she did this, I google searched the song.

I found out that it was Al Green who sang the song. I told that to my Mom but she was in my bedroom pulling clothes out of the washer. I called to her and said that, “Al Green sings it.” I took a little offense to the next thing she asked. She asked me, “Did you say Alvin Green?” (I don’t know if his full name is Alvin but I have only Heard him referred to as, “Al.”

She was on the other side of my house and I waited until she came back to the front room and told her that I was offended said it was Al Green. I told her that I knew his name was Al and then I ended with having her and my Dad as my parents, how can I not know that?!

they both were born and bred in southwest Detroit and they were completely entrenched in Motown growing up!

Saturday is coming closer and I am completely missing my Dad! I don’t know how much of the song the clip from the movie plays so I will add the entire song in this post as well:

I think this year is hitting me a little harder because of Covid. I just miss my Dad! So lately, my Mim and I have been watching, Chef, on Netflix and you know we have watched it multiple times so far! That’s how we work!

There are many things that I like about this movie and I am going to write about 4 things. The first thing I noticed about this movie was this song and I’ve texted it to Sean:

Sean likes this song just like I liked the song he sent to me. It’s kind of like we’re connected or some thing! Like we have been living together for almost 20 years and for all of his life!

I highly recommend this movie to everyone!

Sean texted me this morning at about 9:30 with a song suggestion. I set my phone to do not disturb when I go to sleep so did not wake up until about 1 o’clock but when I did, I listened to it! That sentence made me sound super lazy but that’s not the case because my sleep schedule is so messed up was having had a mess for 20 years!

I had a conversation with Sean some years ago, he was driving and I told him that music these days is not good! I told him that I am old now because I prefer listening to music that I listen to when I was growing up and when I was a young adult. He sent me this song using our Apple Music account. This is the song he sent me:

I listen to the song and told him that I liked it. He said that it sounded like the stuff I used to listen to and he thinks that I might like it. I really did like it but my Mom did NOT! I don’t know if you are familiar with this song but I have a listen:

I think it’s pretty cool that Sean and I can share music! He’s known me all of his life so he knows what I like and I really like that he made this suggestion.but I think I just LOVE him!

Sean came over and I was talking with him recently, I had my phone in my hand and I told him that when I scroll through my YouTube feed, (I scrolled through), and showed him my phone and told him that randomly I will get things like, “This gem!” I gave him my phone and he watched the video:

I’m not sure if he was just patronizing me because this is MY band but he watched it and was appreciative of the orchestra accompaniment which I really liked! When the video was finished, Sean looked at me and said, “They’re old!” I just took my phone from him, shook my head, and kind of smirked.
