Musical Monday # 10



Musical Monday

I was introduced to Musical Monday by Delores who copied the meme from another site.
I think it’s a fun way to show off some of the music we like and brighten up our Mondays at the same time. 

I’ll be finding my clips on you tube, so will simply credit that site since there are often so many versions of everything and I wouldn’t want to accidentally credit the wrong artist.


Today’s clip is:  Electric Light Orchestra, more commonly known as ELO  in my house anyway.


Hold on Tight To Your Dreams




 and here's the lyrics


this is one of my all time favourite songs.

After all, if we can't hold on to our dreams, what have we got left?

    Delores; I love bouncy, anything that gets the feet and fingers tapping is good.

    Elephant's Child; this is a good one for walking, has a good beat.

    Susan; you're welcome, feel good stuff dominates my playlist. What's the point of music that doesn't make you happy?

    I am so out of touch with modern music and that is a new one on me and yet perhaps it has been around for years. Sounds cheerful which is important these days and dream on we must even as we age.

    Mimsie; yes, it has been around for years. From the 80s I think.

    Great choice of songs for a Monday morning. Sometimes I need to be reminded to start a new week by letting go of the last one and looking forward with hope.

    I'm a day late, but as the saying goes...better late than never; and music still sounds great even if I am running late! :)

    Have a good week, River...a cuddle for Angel from me.

    Karen; I never need to "let go" of the old week, It's history immediately.

    Lee; Angel has had lots of cuddles today, (Wednesday) he's been to the vet and had a little excess baggage removed.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
