Hi Letty. Just thought I'd drop in and see how you're keeping. It's good to see you here.
((((Letty)))
By the way, I like Diana Krall's stuff. :wink:

some tunes from montreal band the arcade fire
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
The Arcade Fire
And if the snow buries my,
my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying
then I'll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours,
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.
You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle,
the middle of town.
And since there's no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head,
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn.
Then we tried to name our babies,
but we forgot all the names that,
the names we used to know.
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
and our parent's bedrooms,
and the bedrooms of our friends.
Then we think of our parents,
well what the hell ever happened to them?!
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head to gold,
as the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
the song I've been trying to sing.
Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colors
in this heart of mine.
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
The Arcade Fire
Alexander, our older brother,
set out for a great adventure.
He tore our images out of his pictures,
he scratched our names out of all his letters.
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
Come on Alex, you can do it.
Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it.
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin,
if you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'!
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!
Our older brother bit by a Vampire!
For a year we caught his tears in a cup.
And now we're gonna make him drink it.
Come on Alex don't die or dry up!
Our mother shoulda just named you Laika!
It's for your own good,
it's for the neighborhood!
When daddy comes home you always start a fight,
so the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights.
The police disco lights.
Now the neighbors can dance!
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
The Arcade Fire
I woke up with the power out,
not really something to shout about.
Ice has covered up my parents hands
don't have any dreams don't have any plans.
I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin' from the power lines,
nobody's home, so nobody minds.
I woke up on the darkest night,
neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light.
(We found the light)
Shadows jumpin' all over the walls
some of them big, some of them small.
I went out into the night.
I went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Light a candle for the kids,
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!
Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Ice has covered up my parents hands
don't have any dreams, don't have any plans.
Growin' up in some strange storm,
nobody's cold, nobody's warm.
I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are dyin' out in the snow,
look at them go, look at them go!
Woohoo!(3x) WOO! Woohoo!(3x)
And the power's out in the heart of man,
take it from your heart put in your hand.(hand)
What's the plan? What's the plan?
Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide.
Just light a candle for the kids,
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!
Cause nothin's hid, from us kids!
You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out!
Woohoo!(2x)
And the power's out in the heart of man,
take it from your heart put in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart and put it in your hand!
(hand!)(the lights out!)(hand!)(right now!)(hand!)
Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
The Arcade Fire
I am waitin' 'til I don't know when,
cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then.
Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood,
killing old folks, wakin' up babies
just like we knew it would.
All the neighbors are startin' up a fire,
burning all the old folks the witches and the liars.
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids,
but my heart keeps watchin'
through the skin of my eyelids.
They say a watched pot won't ever boil,
well I closed my eyes and nothin' changed,
just some water getting hotter in the flames.
It's not a lover I want no more,
and it's not heaven I'm pining for,
but there's some spirit I used to know,
that's been drowned out by the radio!
They say a watched pot won't ever boil,
you can't raise a baby on motor oil,
just like a seed down in the soil
you gotta give it time.
I'm keeping, Reyn. Hey, you guys. It is unique to look great and be able to sing as well. But don't you think she's a little heavy?
ah, dj. Arcade Fire, lovely, Canada.
I must make that fire a goodnight song. "burning desire and all that."<smile>
From Letty with love.
Good night, dear one.
Hey Reyn...I remember watching the Academy Awards this past year and cringing when Joan "Don't-Make-Me-Laugh-My-Face-Will-Crack" Rivers stopped Elvis Costello on the red carpet and didn't know who the "lovely blonde" was on his arm. Even when he awkwardly introduced Diana (his new wife), Joan still obviously didn't know who she was. I thought everyone would have heard of Diana Krall by now.
The lady Diane and meself spent the afternoon canoodling. We were behind a tree at the time so it's perfectly legal.

Good to hear!
Do you think Diana works out?
Eva wrote:I thought everyone would have heard of Diana Krall by now.
She certainly has made a name for herself!
Costello, eh? Interesting couple.
Prairie Rose
(ferry/manzanera)
Texas that´s where i
Belong
It seems to me
Texas lonesome star
Shine on
The big country
Texas with open skies
And you
For company
Texas oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be
Hey hey you can take it from me
Hey hey i´ll be coming, you´ll see
Hey hey oh what a state to be in
Hey hey you´re tantalising me
Texas I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
Texas a song of praise
To you
Prairie rose
Texas though i´m not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Texas prairie rose -
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey i´d better leave right away
Hey hey I can hear you calling me
Prairie rose

Do you have trees in Arizona? Here's me thinking it was all desolate desert.
by tree, i'm sure he meant cactus
don't know why, but i found myself singing this song on the walk home from work yesterday
The Last Thing On My Mind
Tom Paxton
It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go.
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies of bornin'
Without you, without you
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

au contraire, M. Reyn. northern Arizona has trees, mountains, creeks, canyons, snow, and the like. only southern Arizona is saguaro populated desert.
The apartments here in Tomball are lush with plants that include Arizona ash.

Unfortunately, there's no emoticon showing "tongue in cheek". :wink:
Reyn, i get the picture, thanks. hope nobody minded my providing a little info, for anyone not familiar with the geography of Arizona.
Bella Rosa
Each Sunday morning at breaking of day
A most lovely creature she passes my way
I stand at my window to catch her eye
But her head never turns as she passes me by
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa,
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go
As I Wander around thru the country side
There's many a girl that would be my bride,
But always before the vows I can say
Her image returns and she draws me away
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa,
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go
It's Saturday night it's cold , it's bare
I sit in my room and just longingly stare
For I know comes the morning my heart will glow
At the sight of my love as she passes below
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa,
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go
