UhOh. I never remember names, nor in this case faces either, Raggedy. Thanks for the structural alignment. Razz

Well, whoever it was, that song was rather neat, I think.

Hey, folks. This may be the perfect time for a song of apology and should cover all future mistakes by Letty:

The Decemberists:




I'm really sorry Steven
But your bicycle's been stolen
I was watchin it for you
'Til you came back in the fall
Guess I didn't do such a good job after all

I was feeling really sorry Steven
And I spent all morning grieving
And everybody's saying
That you'll take the news gracefully
Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily

I meant her no harm
When I left her unlocked
Outside the Orange Street Food Farm
I was just running in
Didn't think I'd be that long
I came out, she was gone
And all that was there was some bored old dog
Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been
Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again

Let this be consolation, Steven
That all the while you were in England
I treated her with care and respect
And gave her lots of love
And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up

Where has she gone?
Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond
Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride
So I wrote you this song
In the hopes that you'd forgive me
Even though it was wrong
Being so careless with a thing so great
And taking your poor Madeleine away, away.

Craziest song that I ever heard.

Meanwhile, over in the…

Netherlands
DAN FOGELBERG Lyrics

High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind
And the snow
And the sky
I want a lover
I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do all the things that I
never have done.
Sunny bright mornings
And pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now, I'm learning to fly
And this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known
I've seen the bottom
And I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go
When you get to the end of
your dream?
Off in the nether lands
I heard a sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain
I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Anthems to glory and
Anthems to love and
Hymns filled with early delight
Like the songs that the darkness
Composes to worship the light.
Once in a vision
I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear
Yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
One road was simple
Acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release.

Oh, my gawd, Try. I love Dan Fogelberg. Thanks for the below sealevel song.

Here we go, listeners:

Dan Fogelberg
Captured Angel

Found your heart
And lost your lover
Lick your wounds
And run for cover.
Take your time
There'll be another
And don't make the same
mistake twice
Unless you can pay the price.
All the years
You spent in growing
End up one more
Line you're towing
Don't look know
Your age is showing
And its much too late
To turn back
You better pull in the slack.
Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now...
Fly now, fly now
While your wings are still
young
Your cage door's been
flung
Wide open...
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside
me
If you ever need it.
Sold your dreams
For sweet salvation
Left with righteous indignation
Now it seems that you
face starvation
And nourishment doesn't
come cheap
You better go back to sleep.
Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now...
Fly now, fly now
While your wings are still
young
Your cage door's been
flung
Wide open...

As Tears Go By
The Rolling Stones

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

Sad song, edgar. I noticed that the Stones canceled a concert in Madrid, Spain because Mick was ill and couldn't sing. Rather makes me sad a bit, because in the music business, when your talent is spent, it rather desiccated one's soul, no?

Holly Cole:

Loving you is not a choice
Its who I am
Loving you is not a choice
Its not much reason to rejoice
It gives me purpose
Gives me voice to say to the world
This is why I live
You are why I live

Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in my control
Loving you I have a goal of whats left in my life
I will live and I would die for you

You give me purpose
You give me voice to say to the world
This is why I live
You are why I live
Loving you is why I do the things I do
Loving you is not in not in my control
But loving you I have a goal of whats left in my life
I will live and I would die for you

Institutionalized
Suicidal Tendencies

Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. It seems like I concentrate on it real hard but it just doesn't work out. Everything I do and everything I try never turns out. It's like I need time to figure these things out. But there's always someone there going. Hey Mike: You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately. You know, maybe you should get away and like, maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better. And I go: No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work it all by myself. And they go: Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it. Why don't you talk about it? And I go: No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside.
So you're gonna be institutionalized. You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes.
You won't have any say. They'll brainwash you until you see their way.

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything. But then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name. And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE! And I go: What, what's the matter? And she goes: What's the matter with you? I go: There's nothing wrong mom. And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs! And I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know why don't you get me a Pepsi? And she goes: NO you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking. She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way! I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi please! All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me. Just a Pepsi!
They give you a white shirt with long sleeves! Tied around your back, you're treated like thieves!
Drug you up because they're lazy! It's too much work to help a crazy!

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go: Mike, we need to talk to you. And I go: Okay what's the matter? They go: Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems, you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody, we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself. So we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need. And I go: Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!? My best interest?! How can you know what's MY best interest is? How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches; I went to your institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I'm crazy?
They say they're gonna fix my brain. Alleviate my suffering and my pain.
But by the time they fix my head. Mentally I'll be dead.

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself

It doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.

dj, That song sounded like a session with a shrink, Canada. No matter, honey. You have become an institution on our little cyber station. <smile>

Well, it's that time for Letty.

Foreigner

It's night, again, time for my mind to go wandering
Off on a journey, through space and time
In search of a face I can never find...So I close my eyes and look inside
I can't, forget, the night that I saw her we never met
She felt so close to me as I reached for her hand
She drifted away like the desert sand...It was her, and she was gone

I wish she'd, come back tonight, like a, star shining bright
I don't know where she's from

She's like a, a girl on the moon, a girl on the moon
She's like a, a girl on the moon, a girl on the moon

Yes it's night, once again and that same old feeling is setting in
It all seems so familiar but I hope this time
That the girl on the moon will soon be mine...All mine, tonight

Am I asking too much? Should I leave my dream untouched?
Should I even know where she's from?

My, girl on the moon, she's my girl on the moon
Girl on the moon, my girl on the moon
(Girl on the moon, girl on the moon)
(Girl on the moon, girl on the moon)
(Girl on the moon, fille sur la lune)
(Girl on the moon, fille sur la lune)
(Girl on the moon)

Goodnight, all.
From Letty with love

Ethel Barrymore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ethel Barrymore (August 15, 1879 - June 18, 1959) was an Academy Award-winning American actress and a member of the famous Barrymore family.

Early life

Ethel Barrymore was born Ethel Mae Blythe in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the second child of the actors Maurice Barrymore and Georgiana Drew. She spent her childhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Catholic schools while there.

She was the sister of actors John Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore, the aunt of actor John Drew Barrymore, and the grand-aunt of actress/producer Drew Barrymore.

Career

Barrymore playing the male character Carrots in a play of the same name, 1902Ethel Barrymore was highly regarded as a charming and charismatic stage actress in New York City and a major Broadway performer. Her first appearance in Broadway was in 1901, in a play called Captain Jinks of the Horses Marines. She was a great Nora in A Doll's House by Ibsen (1905), and a passionate Juliet in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare (1922).

She was also a strong supporter of the Actors' Equity Association and had a high-profile role in the 1919 strike. In 1926, she scored one of her greatest successes as the sophisticated spouse of a philandering husband in W. Somerset Maugham's comedy, The Constant Wife.

She made her first motion picture in 1914 and in the 1940s, she moved to Hollywood, California and started working in motion pictures.

She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1944 film None but the Lonely Heart opposite Cary Grant, but made plain that she was not overly impressed by it. She made such other classic films as The Spiral Staircase (1946), a wonderful thriller directed by Robert Siodmak, Pinky (1949), and Kind Lady (1951).


Private life

Ethel Barrymore by Carl Van Vechten (December 12, 1937)Winston Churchill proposed to her but she turned him down. Ethel married Russell Griswold Colt on March 14, 1909; they divorced in 1923.

Being a devout Roman Catholic, she was prohibited from remarrying by the Church. She was involved romantically with men from time to time, but never remarried.

She had 3 children by Colt, including Ethel Barrymore Miglietta, who appeared on Broadway in Stephen Sondheim's "Follies". Both of Ethel's sons, Samuel and John Drew Colt, also tried their hand at acting.

Ethel died from heart disease in 1959 at her home in Hollywood, California two months shy of her 80th birthday. She is interred in the Calvary Cemetery, East Los Angeles.

The Ethel Barrymore Theatre ([1]) in New York City is named after her.

Edna Ferber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edna Ferber (August 15, 1885 - April 16, 1968), was an American novelist, author and playwright.

Edna Ferber was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan (in 1885, not 1887 as sometimes stated), to a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper and his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born wife, Jacob Charles and Julia (Neumann) Ferber. She would become a leading female American author who wrote a number of successful books and plays.

After living in Chicago, Illinois and Ottumwa, Iowa, at age 12, Ferber and her family moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, where she graduated from high school and briefly attended Lawrence University. She took jobs at the Appleton Daily Crescent and the Milwaukee Journal before publishing her first novel. She covered the 1920 Republican and Democratic national conventions for the United Press Association.

Her novels generally featured a strong female as the protagonist, although she fleshed out multiple characters in each book. She usually highlighted at least one strong secondary character who faced discrimination ethnically or for other reasons; through this technique, Ferber demonstrated her belief that people are people and that the non-so-pretty persons have the best character.

Due to her imagination in scene, characterization and plot, several movies have been made based on her works, including: Show Boat (a musical featuring Paul Robeson's marvelous rendition of "Old Man River"), Giant (starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean), Saratoga Trunk, Cimarron (which won an Oscar) and the 1960 remake.

In 1925, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her book So Big, which was made into an early talkie movie in 1932, starring Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent. It was the only movie Stanwyck and Davis ever appeared in together, and Stanwyck played Davis' mother-in-law, although only a year older in real life, which allegedly displeased her, as did the attitude of the hoydenish Davis.

She was a member of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of wits who met for lunch every day at the Algonquin Hotel in New York.

Edna Ferber died on April 16, 1968, at her home in New York City, of cancer, at the age of 82. The New York Times said, "she was among the best-read novelists in the nation, and critics of the 1920s and 1930s did not hesitate to call her the greatest American woman novelist of her day".

Wendy Hiller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dame Wendy Margaret Hiller DBE (15 August 1912 - 14 May 2003) was a distinguished English film and stage actress. The Academy Award-winning actress enjoyed a varied acting career that spanned nearly sixty years. Despite many notable film performances, she chose to remain primarily a stage actress.

Born in Bramhall, Stockport, in Cheshire, the daughter of Frank Watkin Hiller and Marie Stone, her professional career as an actress began in repertory at Manchester in the early 1930s. She first found success as Sally Hardcastle in the stage version of Love on the Dole in 1934. The play also saw her West End debut in 1935, and she married the play's author Ronald Gow in 1937. In the early 1940s they moved to Beaconsfield, where they had two children and lived together until Gow's death in 1993.

She was created an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in 1971 and raised to Dame Commander (DBE) in 1975. Regarded as one of Britain's great dramatic talents, her style was disciplined and unpretentious, and she disliked personal publicity. The writer Sheridan Morley described Hiller as being remarkable in her "extreme untheatricality until the house lights went down, whereupon she would deliver a performance of breathtaking reality and expertise".

She died of natural causes at her home in Beaconsfield, aged 90.

Stage career

The popularity of Love on the Dole took the production to New York in 1936, where her performance attracted the attention of George Bernard Shaw. Shaw cast her in several of his plays, including Saint Joan, Pygmalion and Major Barbara. She was reputed to be Shaw's favorite actress of the time. Unlike other stage actresses of her generation, she did relatively little Shakespeare, preferring the more modern dramatists such as Henrik Ibsen and new plays adapted from the novels of Henry James and Thomas Hardy among others.

In the course of her stage career, Wendy Hiller won popular and critical acclaim in both London and New York. She excelled at rather plain but strong willed characters. After touring England as Viola in Twelfth Night (1943) she returned to the West End to be directed by John Gielgud in Cradle Song (1944). The string of notable successes continued with The First Gentleman (1945), Playboy of the Western World (1946), Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1946), The Heiress (1947 Broadway, 1950 West End), Waters of the Moon (1951), Flowering Cherry (1958 London, 1959 Broadway) and The Aspern Papers (1962 Broadway). She was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award in 1958 as Best Dramatic Actress for her performance as Josie Hogan in Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten.

As she matured, a strong affinity for the plays of Henrik Ibsen was demonstrated as Irene in When We Dead Awaken (Cambridge, 1968), as Mrs. Alving in Ghosts (Edinburgh, 1972), Aase in Peer Gynt (BBC, 1972) and as Gunhild in John Gabriel Borkman (Old Vic, 1975), in which she appeared with Ralph Richardson and Peggy Ashcroft. Later West End triumphs such as Queen Mary in Crown Matrimonial (1972) proved she was not limited to playing dejected, emotionally deprived women. Some earlier plays were later revisited as older characters such as West End revivals of Waters of the Moon (1978) with Ingrid Bergman and The Aspern Papers (1984) with Vanessa Redgrave. Her final West End performance was the title role in Driving Miss Daisy in 1988.

Film career

At Shaw's insistence, she starred as Eliza Doolittle in the film Pygmalion (1938) with Leslie Howard as Professor Higgins. This performance earned her a first Oscar nomination and became one of her most famous film roles. She followed up this success with another Shaw adaptation, Major Barbara, in 1941, and starred in the 1945 Powell & Pressburger classic I Know Where I'm Going!. She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1959 for the film Separate Tables (1958), as a lonely hotel manageress and was nominated again for her performance as Dame Alice (wife of Sir Thomas More) in A Man for All Seasons (1966). The southern gothic Toys in the Attic (1963) earned her a Golden Globe nomination as a doting spinster sister. The tragic and abused colonial wife in Outcast of the Islands (1952), the possessive mother in Sons and Lovers (1960), the wonderfully grotesque class-conscious Russian princess in Murder on the Orient Express (1974) and the formidable hospital matron in The Elephant Man (1980) were also considered particularly memorable.

*Subject: **Grandkids*



My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked
me how old I was, and I told him, "62."

He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

************************************************************

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the
children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At
last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting
them back to bed with stern warnings.

As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling
voice, "Who was THAT?"

************************************************************

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood
was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a
tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked
wild raspberries in the woods."


The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure
wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

************************************************************

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how
you and God are alike?"

I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"

"You're both old," he replied.

************************************************************

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word
processor. She told him she was writing a story.

"What's it about?" he asked.

"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

************************************************************

I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided
to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She
would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so I
continued.

At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should
try to figure out some of these yourself!"

************************************************************

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights
off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a
few fireflies followed us in.

Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The
mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

************************************************************

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not
sure."

"Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says I'm four to six."

************************************************************

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma,
guess what? We learned how to make babies today."

The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool.
"That's
interesting," she said, "How do you make babies?"

"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'"

************************************************************

Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a
teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what
pregnant means?" she asked.

Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."

************************************************************

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home
one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the
fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's
duties.


"They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.

"No, said another, "he's just for good luck."

A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she
said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."

Well, there's our Bob hawking his celebs. Thanks, Boston. Love those grandkid's memories, and I do believe the one about "Who was that?" Is one that I will never forget.

Looking through the background of the notables, I would like to do another memory:

quote, allegedly an old African saying:

"When you take away the customs, culture and religion of a people, we better replace it with something of value."

Good afternoon WA2K.

I remember the movie and book, "Something of Value", and was curious , Letty, so I googled and found:

"On the page facing the author's Foreword to his 1954 novel on the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, Robert Ruark quotes an old Basuto Proverb:

'If a man does away with his traditional way of living and throws away his good customs, he had better first make certain that he has something of value to replace them.'" Very Happy

And there she is, listeners, our speckled pup with pictures. Thanks again, PA. Ah, yes. Something of Value is absolutely a book that foretells the future of where we are today.

We love the history of things, especially when it's told in music and poetry.

There's Julia, and Ethel, and Wendy and Ben. What an interesting quartet, no? Is Drew the last of the Barrymore's? She is looking quite good today, folks.

Good Morning all. I hope I will be…

Seeing you again
DAN FOGELBERG Lyrics



Was like meeting for the first time
In a foggy dream so many years ago.
Strangers in an airport
Searching for a word to break the ice.
Holding you again
Even for the briefest moment
Made me realize how much I love you still
Wanting you to want me
Still not knowing if you ever will.
Chorus
Seeing you again
Seeing you again
Was the sweetest torture
I may ever know.
Seeing you again
Seeing you again
Made me wish I'd never let you go.
Seeing you again
Running free along the beaches
Where our shadows first
Began to intertwine
Listening to your laughter
Wishing that you love could still be mine.
(Repeat chorus)
Did you only come to say
You're sorry
Or give it one more try
Or did you only need to see
There was nothing left for me
Inside worth saving.
Running for your train
You smiled back through the doorway
Like you used to
When our hearts still beat as one
And as I turned away
I knew the lonely days had just begun.
(Repeat chorus twice.)

Hey, Try. Love D.F. as you know, but what ever happened to The D.B.?

For our Texas friends:


Doobie Brothers :



When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin' for another day
'Round about their homes.
The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came.

Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh,
Oh, China Grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher,
Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town.
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin';
When the sun goes fallin' down.
They say that the father's insane
And dear Missus Perkin's a game.

We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo oh ho
Oh, China Grove.

But everyday there's a new thing comin',
The ways of an oriental view.
The sheriff and his buddies
With their samurai swords,
You can even hear the music at night.

And though it's part of the Lone Star State
People don't seem to care,
They just keep on lookin' to the East

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove.

Would love to hear this one Letty, it's just so bouncy and positive


"No Worries"

Siomn Webbe

I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little better
Even on the darkest day
I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little further
Right until the feelings change

So, is this how it goes?
Think you've come this far with nothing to show
That ain't so, no
You don't see where you are
And if you don't look back you know you'll never know

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

[chorus]
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Maybe not today, maybe not today
Some day soon you'll be all right
(I just know your life's gonna change)
Don't turn the other way, turn the other way
Feels like luck is on your side
(Just wanna live)
No worries, no worries
(Don't wanna die)
No worries, no worries
(Fight through the lows)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(And take all the highs)
We all need somebody
(Yeah we can sink)
No worries, no worries
(Or can you swim)
No worries, no worries
(Or walk on out)
Say it for me, say it for me,
(Or jump right in)
We all need somebody

So, baby keep drifting on
Your endeavours ain't just selfless wasted time
Seek and find, yeah yeah
You're not that far from what you've hoped and wished for all along

Cause you think that you've been living, just treading water
And waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
As you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah, to the life you're imagining

[chorus]

I just know your life's gonna change
Say it for me, say it for me
We all need somebody
