@suspira44, thanks for the earworm. Now I can't get Wilson Phillips out of my head. LOL I always liked that song so.
@triciact, I played the Amos Lee song the morning I woke up, that wasn't it. Nor was the old Smash Mouth tune. Part of the problem is that the line is part of the chorus or refrain, but I don't believe it's part of the title. I can hear it clear as day, but it's such a short clip I can't place the rest of the tune. I suppose that maybe the rest isn't important. Thank you for looking! I think as suspira44 is hearing similar messages from different songs, the main point is we're all supposed to hang on, hold on, or to have hope that things will be ok sooner than we expect.
Bless any of you who can check out an IMPOTUS clip. I can't stand to watch or listen to him!
Really interesting how so many of you recently heard the song "Send in the Clowns." In my view, not a coincidence. And it's wonderful how spirit communicates with us in myriad ways. I've had the Talking Heads' song "Burning Down the House" running through my head for the past few weeks. They were also playing it at Whole Foods yesterday. Each time I hear it, the image of a powerful and controlled Nancy P. pops into my brain. The following lyrics have been running like a tape in my head:
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
well I don't consider myself psychic but a while back I was constantly hearing the song Hero in my head. Great lyrics.
@deetoo - very interesting!!!
"
Burning down the house
My house, is out of the ordinary
That's right, don't want to hurt nobody
Some things, sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, huah
Yea
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house"
@journeywithme2, thanks for those additional lyrics! I immediately got goosebumps -- usually means spirit is talking to me when that happens.
I love all the songs! I still get an "Ides of March" /Julius Ceasar flash.
Locally there is something of a parallel situation happening but more in a "Parks & Rec" situation. Imagine if you will if instead of becoming president first, Trump was elected mayor of a municipality. We have a Trump-like persona currently as Mayor of Solvay - a village adjacent to our city. Kind of how the "Killah from Wasilla" Palin was catapulted to a statewide position and then a VP nomination... but nobody really was aware of the day to day of her actions and behavior as Wasilla mayor. But at least she had a public service record to run on!
Anyhow, I have pretty much been unable to look away from the train wreck happening in Solvay and I really hope someone makes a tv series or movie about it because it makes things funnier/less scarier than what is happening in DC. Kind of like Letterkenny meets Veep.
The articles are almost comedy gold if you don't live there... here is a link to the most recent https://www.syracuse.com/news/2020/01/what-now-in-solvay-two-trashed-houses-a-200-pound-pet-pig-a-firing-charges-of-cronyism.html
Please check out the links for other articles that are referred to in this one--it just gets loopier.
People who are Trump fans voted for this guy and defend him LOL.
I find it gives me some comic relief vs the horror of every news piece that comes from the WH. I expect Solvay voters will relieve this mayor of office in their next election.
I have been avoiding Trump news of late. Spirit basically told me not to waste my energy in this latest wag the dog situation.
We can add one more on clowns. It sure is a week of clown references isn't it?
Boeing just released some pretty damming internal messages about the 737 MAX.
In an April 2017 exchange of instant messages, a company pilot express concern to another person about the MAX following references to issues with the plane’s flight management computer. “This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys,” one unnamed employee wrote.
Love me some Talking Heads.
You all missed the lyrics I think are also pertinent:
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house...
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
Wow, @deetoo and @journeywithme2, those Talking Heads lyrics are so perfect for this moment!
@lovendures, I suppose it's fitting, but all these crazy clown references are getting a little hilarious/insane/totally scary. (How many does it take pretend the president is functional?)
@rowsella, My god, poor Solvay! I'm from small town Mississippi, an entire state where the historic ineptitude, madcap misadventures, and imbecilic, outrageous, and often downright diabolic nature of local politicians could supply Hollywood with series scripts from now to Armageddon. And even I am baffled by the absurdity (two trashed houses and a 200-lb pet pig!) of Solvay's guy. Bless their hearts.
It reminds me that Jezebel used to (maybe still does?) run a column called "Big Time Small Time D*cks" about exactly that—local lunatics wielding relative power and burning the house down in the process. I'm laughing just thinking about all the plays on that column title and its seeming resonance with Comrade Trumpov (saw that one online this week, ha). After he's gone and our fear subsides, he will go down as colossal failure and a historic joke. We all know this, but it helps to remember.
