Day 12: Blue Mind Song #1

Image
Hi Everyone.... Well, this is one of my Favorite water songs! You see, when I was in kindergarten we had to learn this song. We did a performance of it for our parents with rain boots, coats & twirling umbrellas. :-) I never have forgotten the lyrics since then. I had the most fabulous teacher also! This song was in the popular movie Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid & won an Oscar! Today, I understand the lyrics more than I did back when I was in kindergarten, so it means even more now. I get the meaning of the song, but it does suggest rain (water) is not good and one needs to wait for the sun to come back out for happiness. I would have totally disagree with that...there is sooo much one can be happy & grateful for with rain. :-)

Put it in the comments...give you a week & then I'll put the other two in the comments as well. I think the movies people like tells you a lot about their personality don't you?! :-) On Golden Pond came out in the theaters on Dec 4, 1981. I was almost 17 yrs old and in the middle of my Jr year in high school. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this film, but man it is a lot. Just the first few notes of this music makes me relax sooooo much! I have the CD and the movie. It is just a TOTALLY Beautiful movie! Nature including the water and the Loons of course, the music, the characters and plot. Even the behind the scenes dynamics is also a part of it. Watch the extras...interview with Jane Fonda on what Katherine Hepburn told her etc. :-) Ahhh I think I'll have to watc...
