It's time for a little "Randy Rainbow":
I was just about to post this one, it is awesome and he did it so quickly!
Just a Spoon Full of Clorox
@lovendures, I had a feeling you'd be the first to respond! He is such a talented guy.
Pete Seeger would have been 101 years old today. In the late 50's, he wrote a song that had lyrics taken from the Bible's book of Ecclesiastes. The Byrds released a version of this song in 1965. It became a #1 hit, the song with the 3,000 year old lyrics from King Solomon:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain that which is to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time of love, and a time of hate; a time of war, and a time of peace(I swear it's not too late)
Here is a newer version of Turn! Turn! Turn!, with lyrics written by Pete's wife, Toshi https://youtu.be/RkUldreCyZU
@unk-p. Thank you for posting this treasure. So wonderful to remember the song, the lyrics and Pete Seeger. I loved the Byrds' version and I love reading the words knowing how old they are.
@unk-p, I love that song. It reminds me to not hold on too tightly, let go, have faith and remain hopeful. Simply beautiful. I grew up with the Byrds' version. It always uplifts me.
@jeanne-mayell, @deetoo The Byrds version has always been one of my all-time favorite songs. I hadn't heard the newer one until today- i just landed on it "randomly", after listening to other stuff. As it was playing, someone said something, and then i realized that today was Pete's birthday. The whole thing really cheered me up, so i thought it should be posted. I am glad that you enjoyed it, too.
One of my favorite singers in the world (and in my opinion one of the best singers currently on the planet) is a young (26 at the end of this month) Kazakh singer named Dimash Kudaibergen. He recently did this song, which is the main theme for an Italian movie called Creators - The Past. The film is a science-fiction/fantasy story that is the writer's fictional interpretation of why the Great Planetary Alignment of 2012 didn't seem to have much of an effect at the time. The movie was supposed to have been released in March but was postponed due to the current situation. Although made in Italy, the film is entirely in English and it looks pretty interesting if you like that genre (I do!). Anyway, this is a video of Dimash singing the main theme against a background of scenes from the film. If you don't know who he is or haven't heard him before, you're in for a treat! I'll put the lyrics here because there are a couple of minor places where they aren't clear.

Sad eyes lost
Into the dark
I miss to tears
The source of my creation
My soul free
From space and time
Ready to ride
Across endless dimensions
So fly me high
And hold me tight
From empty days
To light
Show me stars
Oceans of love
Show me the way
To reach the core
Of my life
So fly me high
And hold me tight
From endless deserts
To light
Take me home
Back to my soul
Give me gold wings
So I can touch the sky
I thought we could use some comfort and inspiration for the times we are in:

The Prayer
(performed by Chris Mann and Katharine McPhee)
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu hai
(I pray we'll find your light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And hold it in our hearts)
A ricordarci che
(When stars go out each night)
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
(Let this be our prayer)
Quanta fede c'è
(When shadows fill our day)
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, e di fraternità
La forza che ci dà
(We ask that life be kind)
È il desiderio che
(And watch us from above)
Ognuno trovi amor
(We hope each soul will find)
Intorno e dentro a sé
(Another soul to love)
Let this be our prayer
(Let this be our prayer)
Just like every child
(Just like every child)
Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
È la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE HERE. WISHING YOU ALL A BEAUTIFUL DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!
Love, Tricia
