Gotta love Kermit
I woke up this morning with a severe case of the Monday morning blues. I had a good weekend, with lots to do, and this morning I just felt tired. I now know why as I just read that January 23rd is the absolute worst day of the year according to a doctor who had used some kind of complicated mathematical formula to determine this. I could look it up and give you the mathematical proof, but I just can't be bothered. You'll just have to take my word for it, and of course the truthiness of the statement: "January 23rd is the absolute worst day of the year" (Thank you Stephen Colbert)
In order to get me out of the funk, this is what I've been listening to today:
The Rainbow connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name. ...
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Laa, da daa dee da daa daa, La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
The Kermit version of course. It's one of my favourite songs. Someone I knew used to sing this to me, and while it occasionally makes me cry (yes, I'm that much of a sentimental fool, and also that much of a dork), but it always made me feel better too. So I'll keep listening to my beloved Kermit singing about rainbows whenever I need to, and in all honesty I might go home and watch the movie tonight too.
