I wish I could blame it on hormones…

Maybe I should have read the what today’s Friday Five was about, thought it through, and scuttled the whole idea before diving headlong into responding to it.  We all have some old wounds that just don’t seem to want to heal. Starting Friday Five for February 1, 2008 did seem like a big task at first, then I went further along and all those old feelings just came flooding back.  Missed opportunities, lost dreams, what-if’s… not that I would trade my family for an alternate reality… I am lucky and grateful to have them in my life.

It is not "I wonder what if would have been like", rather more it f*****g hurts just to remember and it make the rest of you day s**t!

To the one and half people reading this, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.

How is the weather?

   Posted by: Yoggie    in Music and Music Reviews, Wistful Meanderings

Sometimes you just don’t realize the hidden meanings lodged in songs… kinda like the bludgeoning of reality that I got this afternoon concerning the song "Happy Together" sung by The Turtles.  Yes, I knew the lyrics, no problem there.  It is the meaning of one particular line that I sorta just ignored as part of the song and a real cool use of rhythm and rhyme. Let’s start out with the lyrics…

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it’s only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We’re happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)

The verses that brought about the landslide of understanding are "When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue" and "How is the weather".  What?! You mean the songs isn’t about how happy the couple are together?  No, it is the guy telling this girl that how much he loves her and that they would make a great couple… and then he asks her if she feels the same (How is the weather").

Just image what the two responses would be… Oh Johnny, the weather is blue skies with birds singing… or, it is black as night in the middle of a blizzard with tornados on the way.
