ALMOST Forgotten Tune #62 + Random Songs in My YouTube Feed #7

Okay, I checked my YouTube feed and this song came on. This song is Barwis in 2015.It also is Fifty Shades of Grey.

Now, I read all 3 of the books and they’re so much more than just smut! I also have seen all three of the movies and I’m not sure what to say about them! They kind of are smut. But seeing this video clip montage of Pride & Prejudice set to this song put me over the edge! I sent the link to my Mom because I have gotten her to love that movie also!

This song reminds me of driving myself to Barwis three times a week in the winter. I haven’t thought about this song until I saw the montage on my YouTube feed so I will share both the montage and video here:

Tune #41 Inspired by GMFB

So, this morning, on GMFB Kale began talking about the #1 song in 2010. It was:

He was saying that because that was the last time Matthew Stafford did NOT start the game for the Detroit Lions. I begin receiving tweets and getting notifications from my NFL Network app that he may not play on Sunday. L That made me really nervous and he ultimately did NOT play:

Since Friday, I kept saying this because of Kyle’s statement in passing before they cut to a commercial.

I tweeted him on Friday and I said it 1 million times so my Mom called me a “Weirdo” and a “Goofball.” I thought my wish would be granted and the Lions would get a win. That didn’t happen. That really bummed me out on Sunday but hearing that Train was #1 in 2010 made me think of littlep Sean and constantly belting that song out in the car!

I was too tired to tweet Kyle this morning but I have been thinking of that song as well as Pee Wee’s Playhouse today as well!

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #61

I’ve written about this before but in the spring of my senior year, I was cast as Dorothy in The Wiz. I bought this CD and listened to it constantly in my car and I belted it out all of the time! Stephanie Mills has some serious pipes and I was up for the challenge to sing these songs. It didn’t work out with the director and he was eventually fired before the show went on. I was crushed because I had worked really hard.

The school play it was a review that year instead and the new director knew that I had worked on the songs from The Wiz a lot so she incorporated this so into the show so I could sing it.

I’m not sure why this song popped into my head last night but I can’t stop hearing it play in my head and I see myself standing on the stage in my high school gym. I am barely awake but I put it up on YouTube and rested my phone on my chin as I t played. I still know all of the words but there is no way that I could get any of them out. I listened to the song play and began to cry.

ALMOST Forgotten Tune #60

I loved my house today. My Mom had to take me to my credit union to handle some business. No, I did NOT win the lottery! I was able to hear this gem though. I know that I have shared it before somewhere on this blog, probably years ago, but I really appreciated hearing in even though it’s not summertime!

The Little Mermaid LIVE

I saw on Facebook yesterday that this would be an ABC. The Little Mermaid is iconic to me! I think I saw in for the first time at the movie theater for a friend of mine‘s birthday party. Either way, my friends and I watched it over 1 million times when we were in grade school! We all sang along with the entire movie!

It had been so long since I last saw in because I had a little boy so I only watched little boy movies. When he was small, he would not let me watch The Little Mermaid!

As soon as it was on, I changed the channel to watch it. I was amazed that I still knew all of the words to the movie and to all of the songs! However, I think I prefer the cartoon version to the live version only because I have heard it the way for all of my childhood. I still had to watch the whole thing though!

I can no longer sing along with the movie as if I am Ariel because I no longer have the strength in my vocal cords and can’t use my chest to push the sound out.

I did not realize how much I loved the ending of the movie. In fact, I think I only love it so much because my Dad is gone now. I always called him, “Daddy.”

This scene really got to me and I cried. I was by myself watching it so it really didn’t matter.

November 2019 Faves

Please forgive my oversight! With Sean turning 18 this past weekend, I was a little bit discombobulated and thus, forgot to post my faves. Better late than never, I suppose! Sean and I ended up going to eat at Red Robin’s in Westland on Warren Road. The parking spot we ended up parking in was an extra large disabled one, man! Shout out to you and your accessible ways, Red Robin Westland!!! I will never forget the spot where I could comfortably be loaded into and out of my wheelchair.

I think this post will serve as a reminder for our birthday dinner and my boy’s 18th birthday. As Sean drove, he used his phone to navigate and I used mine for tunes. Well, I always HAVE TO start off the music with my jam! Saturday was no different:

It always seems to get a chuckle out of Sean. I recently thought about this album and put it on my Apple Music playlist. Sean remembers these songs from his youth. I played the CD on loop in my car for the entire summer I think. Maybe even longer.

Prince has been on my mind lately and I recently read Mayte Garcia’s Book about her time with Prince. She also has MS. I thought of his epic halftime show years ago and asked Sean if he had ever seen it. Unfortunately, he has NOT! I told him to watch it and witness Prince willing the heavens to open and it to rain!

Super Bowl footage in case Sean doesn’t search it out himself:
