[image error]


Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.


The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is Lean/Sit/Stand.


~~~~~~~~~~


As the third single from their fifth studio album, Heartbreak, New Edition’s Can You Stand the Rain? was released in December of 1988.


Written and produced by R&B dynamic duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Can You Stand the Rain is about a relationship presently going well, but the man is asking the woman if he can count on her to remain by his side, in case things should ever become stormy.


FUN FACT:



Despite Can You Stand The Rain? failing to reach the Hot 100 top forty, peaking instead at number 44, it became New Edition’s fourth single to top Billboard’s R&B singles chart. 
Can You Stand the Rain?  was sampled by New Edition themselves for their 1996 song, Home Again.
Can You Stand the Rain?  was covered by Boyz II Men for their 1997 album, Evolution.

Enjoy!

Can You Stand the Rain

















 by New Edition















Songwriters: James Harris iii  / Terry Lewis




On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you

When that’s not possible

Tell me can you weather the storm?
‘Cause I need somebody who will stand by me

Through the good times and bad times

She will always, always be right there
Sunny days, everybody loves them

Tell me baby can you stand the rain?

Storms will come

This we know for sure (This we know for sure)

Can you stand the rain?
Love unconditional, I’m not asking just of you

And girl to make it last

I’ll do whatever needs to be done
But I need somebody who will stand by me

When it’s tough she won’t run

She will always, be right there for me
Sunny days, everybody loves them, tell me, baby

Can you stand the rain? (Can you stand it?)

Storms will come (I know, I know all the days won’t be perfect)

This we know for sure (But tell me can you stand it)

Can you stand the rain? (Can you stand the rain?)
Can you stand the rain

(Can you stand the rain?)

(No pressure, no pressure from me, baby)

This we know for sure

Can you stand the rain (‘Cause I want you, and I need you, and I love you, girl)

(Tell me, baby)

Can you stand the rain

(Will you be there for me?)
Can you stand the rain

(Can you stand the rain?)

Can you stand the rain

(Will you be there, girl?)

Can you stand the rain

(Storms will come for sure)

Can you stand the rain

(Can you stand the rain?)

Can you stand the rain

(This we know for sure)

Can you stand the rain

Can you stand the rain

(This we know for sure)

Can you stand the rain

Can you stand the rain

(This we know for sure)

Can you stand the rain

Can you stand the rain
Yeah, it’s gonna but I know, I know I’ll be right there

(Can you stand the rain)

Song Lyric Sunday | “Brandy” – Looking Glass

[image error]


Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.


The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is Drifter/Loner/Transient/Vagabond.


~~~~~~~~~~


A one-hit wonder is a musical artist who is successful with one hit song, but without a comparable subsequent hit. The term may also be applied to an artist who is remembered for only one hit despite other successes.


A barmaid in a busy seaport harbor town which serves “a hundred ships a day” is the subject of Brandy, a 1972 one-hit wonder by the group Looking Glass. Though lonely sailors flirt with her, she pines for the one who has long since left her because he claimed his life, his love, and his lady, was “the sea.”


The single reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100 charts, remaining in the top position for one week. It reached number two on the former chart for four weeks, stuck behind Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Alone Again (Naturally), before reaching number one.


FUN FACT:



Songwriter Elliot Lurie denies the song is about Mary Ellis (1750–1828), a spinster in New Brunswick, New Jersey. According to oral tradition, Mary was seduced by a sea captain who vowed to return to marry her. He never returned and she would come to the spot where her grave now stands, each day, to look for his ship in the Raritan River in New Brunswick.
Barry Manilow’s 1974 Mandy was a cover of a song originally titled Brandy, released in February 1972 by Scott English; however, Manilow changed the title following the success of the Looking Glass single, so as not to get the two songs confused.
Following the song’s release in 1972, Brandy increased in popularity as a girl’s name in the United States. According to data from the Social Security Administration, drawn from “Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States,” Brandy was the 353rd most popular name in 1971, 140th in 1972, and, in 1973 (the first full year after the song’s popularity), 82nd.

Brandy

















 by Looking Glass















Songwriter: Elliot Lurie












There’s a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes
And there’s a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin’ whiskey down

They say, Brandy, fetch another round

She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)

“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)

“Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea”
Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the North of Spain

A locket that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer’s day

Bringin’ gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldn’t stay

No harbor was his home


The sailors say, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)

“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)

“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

When he told his sailor stories

She could feel the ocean fall and rise

She saw its ragin’ glory

But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man

And Brandy does her best to understand
At night when the bars close down

Brandy walks through a silent town

And loves a man who’s not around

She still can hear him say
She hears him say, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)

“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)

“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”

It is, yes it is

He said, “Brandy, you’re a fine girl” (you’re a fine girl)

“What a good wife you would be” (such a fine girl)

“But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea”

Song Lyric Sunday | “One of Us” – Joan Osborne

[image error]


Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.


The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is Truck and Bus Songs.


~~~~~~~~~~


A one-hit wonder is a musical artist who is successful with one hit song, but without a comparable subsequent hit. The term may also be applied to an artist who is remembered for only one hit despite other successes.


I was more than a little surprised to find this week’s SLS selection on the one-hit wonder list.


In her 1995 hit One of Us, Joan Osborne invites listeners to consider various aspects of belief in God and how one might relate to God, if he was, in fact, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on the bus, tryin’ to make his way home?


One of Us reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was also a major success worldwide, topping the charts of Australia, Canada, Flemish Belgium and Sweden, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart, and becoming a top-twenty hit in at least thirteen other counties.


FUN FACT:



The album version starts off with the first four lines of a recording titled The Aeroplane Ride, made on October 27, 1937, by American folklorist Alan Lomax and his wife Elizabeth for the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress.
The song received Grammy nominations in 1996 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
One of Us was the theme song for the American television series Joan of Arcadia.

The video was mainly shot on Coney Island, with various attractions like roller-coasters, Ferris wheels and the New York Aquarium shown, interchanged with the vintage-looking shots in sepia and Joan singing in front of the camera.


Enjoy!

One of Us

















 by Joan Osborne















Songwriters: Eric M. Bazilian









If God had a name what would it be?

And would you call it to his face?

If you were faced with Him in all His glory

What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin’ to make his way home?
If God had a face what would it look like?

And would you want to see if, seeing meant

That you would have to believe in things like heaven

And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?
And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin’ to make his way home?


Just tryin’ to make his way home

Like back up to heaven all alone

Nobody callin’ on the phone

‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Tryin’ to make his way home?
Just tryin’ to make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to heaven all alone

Just tryin’ to make his way home

Nobody callin’ on the phone

‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

~~~


Severely injured in an accident that forever changed her life, 10-year-old Olivia becomes Best Interest 9another faceless, under-served child in foster care. With no time to mourn or grieve, the young girl is easy prey for uncaring social workers and ambivalent foster families.


Olivia quickly learns to hold her tongue and mask her emotions. Even when exposed to neglect, bullying, and assault, no one seems to care. Holding fast to the teachings of her late father, Olivia ages out of the system broken, but no longer a victim.


Now a successful child advocate attorney, Olivia is a passionate voice for children. However, a routine case assignment by the court plunges Olivia back into the trauma of her childhood. If she doesn’t face her demons, a child will be sent into foster care.


Foster care for her young client is not an option. But Olivia’s emotional scars run even deeper than she realized. Reconciling with her past means Olivia must confront the one woman she blames for her battered soul.


A woman who has no idea who Olivia is.


NOTE: This book is intended for mature readers – 18+.

EXCERPT


Olivia was far from an innocent.


She’d had her share of relationships… if you wanted to call them that. To her, they’d always been ‘friends with benefits’ situations, purely sexual. Starting out as casual meetings once or twice a week, she’d undoubtedly begin to hear words like ‘exclusive’ and ‘permanent’ creep into after-sex pillow talk, and she knew it was time to move on. Most of the men took it in stride—a couple became angry and accused her of using them. To which she would state the obvious. They had used each other. She had asked nothing more of them. The only exception was Kenny—Kenneth Lane Connors.


Olivia tried to break things off with him after he told her he was tired of meeting in hotels and wanted her to come to his home, but he would not be deterred. Olivia never felt threatened by Kenny, but he came pretty close to crossing the line from persistent suitor to stalker. She’d find him: standing next to her car when she left her office; sitting on the front stoop when she got home at night; standing in her favorite coffee shop, holding a cup of her special dark roast blend. Olivia finally acquiesced, more from the ennui of the situation, and agreed to trial dating.


She didn’t last two weeks.


At the end of their first week as a couple, Kenny surprised Olivia with tickets to sunny Miami, for a getaway weekend. She was genuinely touched, until Kenny mentioned that while they were there, the two of them would stop in and see Vonnetta and Kenneth, Sr.—his parents. Olivia not only flatly refused to even go to Florida she grabbed her bag, told him to never call her again, and stormed out.


While a few times Olivia felt as though she was being watched, she never saw Kenny again. And she was okay with it. There was no remorse, or heartache due to missing him. What she did have was even more resolve to not allow any man get close, her new unspoken rule was no man got more than three dates, period. No exceptions.


And then along comes Bruce Bellamy.


She had seen Bruce a total of three times, and each time, he’d left her speechless, flustered… and smiling.

Song Lyric Sunday | “Party Train” – Gap Band

[image error]


Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.


The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is Train Songs.


~~~~~~~~~~


Though they retired as a group after forty-three years in 2010, brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson own a spot in music history as the Gap Band.


They ruled the 80s dance charts with songs like Yearning for Your Love, Burn Rubber on Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me), Early in the Morning , You Dropped a Bomb on Me, and Outstanding, but it’s their #3 R&B hit from 1983, Party Train that appears in this week’s SLS.


FUN FACT:



The Gap Band was named after streets (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine) in the historic Greenwood neighborhood in the brothers’ hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The group shortened its name to The Gap Band in 1973.
Party Train is from the group’s seventh album, Gap Band V: Jammin’.
On August 26, 2005, The Gap Band was honored as a BMI Icon at the 57th annual BMI Urban Awards. The honor is given to a creator who has been “a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers”. Outstanding alone remains one of the most sampled songs in history and has, astonishingly, been used by over 150 artists.
Robert Wilson died of a heart attack at his home in Palmdale, California on August 15, 2010, at the age of 53.

The song’s music video starts with the three Wilson brothers driving onto a crowded boardwalk. It then cuts to random people dancing in a boxing ring. During this segment, it periodically cuts back to other people on the boardwalk and beach dancing, including Charlie wading in the ocean water in a speedo. The video ends with an unidentified person filling in a giant yellow ballot (which says “fill in the gap” at the bottom) and selecting “Gap Party” over “Democratic Party” and “Republican Party”. Charlie is then tackled and falls into the water.


Enjoy!

On September 25th, National One-Hit Wonder Day brings back memories while turning up the volume. We honor all the musical artists and chart-topping songs that make them memorable.




A one-hit wonder is a musical artist who is successful with one hit song, but without a comparable subsequent hit. The term may also be applied to an artist who is remembered for only one hit despite other successes.


Believe it or not, there have been hundreds of one-hit wonders in the music world. Below I’ve complied a list of a few that were one hit wonders in my lifetime in descending order from 2010.

Song Lyric Sunday | “Safety Dance” – Men Without Hats

[image error]


Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.


The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is Clothing/Hat/Pants/Scarf/Shirt/Shoes/Tie.


~~~~~~~~~~


Still going with the theme in the group’s name instead of the song because who doesn’t love Men Without Hats?


The Canadian group had already enjoyed success in Canada with The Safety Dance when it was released in the U.S.  in March of 1982. It became an even bigger hit in the U.S. spending four weeks at its peak position of number 3 in September and October 1983, and staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for 24 weeks.  It also reached number 1 on Cash Box, as well as number 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart.


FUN FACT:



One of the theme words, hats, is actually used in the song in the second verse – “And we can dress real neat, from our hats to our feet…”
The song was written by lead singer Ivan Doroschuk after he had been kicked out of a club for Pogo dancing. (A  dance in which the dancers jump up and down, while either remaining on the spot or moving around; the dance takes its name from its resemblance to the use of a pogo stick, especially in a common version of the dance, where an individual keeps their torso stiff, their arms rigid, and their legs close together. People sometimes got injured when pogoing, but, more often than not, pogoers who fall to the ground are helped up instead of getting trampled.

The music video is notable for its English folk revival imagery, featuring Morris dancers, Mummers, Punch and Judy and a maypole. It was filmed in the village of West Kington, in Wiltshire, England. Ivan Doroschuk is the only member of the band actually to perform in the video. Doroschuk, and others in the video, can be seen repeatedly forming an “S” sign by jerking both arms into a stiff pose, one arm in an upward curve and the other in a downward curve, apparently referring to the first letter in “safety”. The Morris dancers seen in the video were the Chippenham Town Morris Men, performing a dance called Monkton Park. The dwarf actor is Mike Edmonds, whose T-shirt in the video shows the Rhythm of Youth album cover. The identity of the young blonde woman by the name of Jenny seen dancing in the video remained unknown until 2013, when she was identified as Louise Court, a journalist who served as editor-in-chief at Cosmopolitan and became a director at Hearst Magazines UK in 2015.


Enjoy!

The Safety Dance

















 by Men Without Hats















Songwriter: Ivan Doroschuk















We can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance

Well, they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to

A place where they will never find

And we can act like we come from out of this world

Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
We can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance

Well, they’re no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to

A place where they will never find

And we can act like we come from out of this world

Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

([Dansez!])
We can go when we want to

The night is young, and so am I

And we can dress real neat, from our hats to our feet

And surprise ’em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if we want to

If we don’t, nobody will

And you can act real rude and totally removed

And I can act like an imbecile
And say, we can dance, we can dance

Everything’s out of control

We can dance, we can dance

They’re doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody look at your hands

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody’s taking the chance
Safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Ah yes, the safety dance
We can dance if we want to

We’ve got all your life and mine

As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

Everything’ll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

Because your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance

Well, they’re no friends of mine
I say, we can dance, we can dance

Everything’s out of control

We can dance, we can dance

We’re doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody look at your hands

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody’s taking the chance
Oh well, the safety dance

Ah yes, the safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Oh yes, the safety dance

Oh, the safety dance, yeah

Well, it’s the safety dance

It’s the safety dance

Well, it’s the safety dance

Oh, it’s the safety dance

Oh, it’s the safety dance

Oh, it’s the safety dance
