Something a little different for today’s Music Monday. A flashmob rendition of Ode to Joy. Now whether this is a true flashmob, I am unsure. I read somewhere that it may actually be a commercial for a German bank. Either way, it is a fun take on the music.
I’m don’t know if flashmobs have run their course, but it would be neat to actually see one evolve in person. Have a favorite song? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday challenge.
It’s hard to believe that Fall is upon us with today being the first day of Autumn. The trees haven’t colored up much yet, but the show will start soon with their bright colors of red, orange, yellow, and yes brown.
I’ve been out early this morning refilling the hummingbird feeders. They are still around and are on their migration so activity is brisk. Now if only I could get the little creatures to be good and share without the constant bickering over who gets the feeders.
(Close your eyes Suzi) It’s also that time of year for all things involving pumpkin and pumpkin spice. Pies, cakes, breads, lattes, whatever you can think of to add those spices to warm the palette and the tummy. I feel in the mood to make something today. Overcast, chance of rain, seems like a perfect day to putter in the kitchen. But who knows, that mood might soon pass and I will be on to something else.
Whatever you have planned for the day, try and spend a moment of it out in nature. It won’t be long before the cold winds start blowing and the earth loses it’s vivid colors and sleeps for a bit.
A nap sounds good too for the day. Maybe I will try and squeeze in both.
I could be unstoppable, if I could just get started! Morning bloggers, it’s another Monday and you know the drill.
For today I chose the song “Unstoppable” (by Sia), from the Wonder Woman movie. Nope, I haven’t seen the movie, but the video makes me tempted to look it up.
Feel free to post a song for today for Music Monday.
A Nation’s Strength
What makes a nation’s pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battle shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.
Is it the sword? Ask the red dust
Of empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones to rust,
Their glory to decay.
And is it pride? Ah, that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its luster down
In ashes at his feet.
Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor’s sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly…
They build a nation’s pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
William Ralph Emerson
Labor day and Jimmy Buffet, just seem to go together. RIP Jimmy.
I picked this song for today’s Music Monday because it reminded me of the time we are in now. Summer is winding down, schools are getting back in session, and the sound of cicadas are in the air in the evening. A sort of melancholy time of year to go with this melancholy sort of song. Have a good Monday folks!
I don’t where I have been that I haven’t heard this group before this past week. I am obsessed with their music now, especially songs from their first album Lonesome Dreams.
