For this week's Five on Friday meme I decided to go with five songs from 1992 and one additional song that Amanda asked that I include that is currently one of her favorites by a group named Ludo. The song inspired one of her more recent art projects:
Amanda tells me that there's a story to the song but I'm not quite sure what it is and I can't ask her as she's out to breakfast with her father right now - a guy she hasn't seen in four-and-a-half years but to his credit gave her one heck of a bear hug when he came by to pick her up a few minutes ago. It almost brought tears to my eyes, sentimental sap that I am, as even though he and I have had our differences and I am none too thrilled with the fact that he hasn't had anything to do with her since October 2005, he's still her father and I hope that he'll appreciate the person that she's become rather than dwell on the things that he may not "approve of". I'm pretty sure he lost the right to be disapproving long ago but anyhow, enough of that ... today is a very happy day and I'm not going to abide by any negativity!
I hope you enjoy the rather mixed-bag of music and I also hope that everyone has as nice of a Friday, June the 18th, as I intend to have!
Congradubirthulations Day, Amanda! Enjoy the day as it is yours! Own it!

Hapcongratbirthulations, Amanda! Quite a big day! And Happy Birthday to your Mom, too!
ReplyDeleteTears in Heaven is one of my all time faves. I listen to his Unplugged CD at least once a week! And Bohemian Rhapsody... well! It's a masterpiece. My ex loved Queen and I thank him for having this album or I may never have heard this song!
Enjoy the BIG day today! Several awesome reasons to celebrate!
Big hugs xo

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and graduation to Amanda! I'll check out the Set this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow. Have you ever had a weeks' worth of happiness! You have a lot to be proud of, and I know I'm not telling you anything new!
ReplyDeleteFor Amanda's sake, I'm glad her dad acknowledged her. A girl needs her dad, even if he's been a rotter in the past. Maybe things will be better.
Love to Amanda and many happy things for her!!!
