Short message today.
It’s Throwback Thursday and today is a perfect today to remember these very basic but necessary life mantras:
Be love. Be kind.
We are all connected.
That bears repeating.
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.
And, that is what makes life wonderful.
Lastly, life is better with a soundtrack.
Today’s #tbt song is by the singer/musical artist, Colin Vearncombe whose stage name was, Black. Wonderful Life was released in 1987.
Black had gone through several life challenges prior to writing the song and said he wrote it sarcastically/ironically based on his troubles. Whether you take the lyrics that way or at face value, I believe the way to approach life is the same. Through joy and through darkness, life is wonderful.
Here are the lyrics. Have a great weekend, Kindness Warriors!
Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
You know it feels unfair
There’s magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
The sun’s in your eyes
the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
because you’re there
And I need a friend
oh I need a friend
to make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend, oh I need a friend
To make me happy, not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
