Tales from the mind of Kristian
Visit the darkest crevices of my mind, dare to tread where many fear to go. You may find something interesting or you may find a mirror to your soul.
The Word of the Day is Bells and that reminded me of one of my favourite Christmas songs. Silver Bells, which was sung in an old film called the Lemon Drop Kid.
I’ve recorded my own version here:
And another Christmas song that I didn’t sing is a song by the Band the Darkness.
Christmas Time (Don’t let the Bells End).
A peaceful and Safe Christmas to everyone 🙂

The Word of the Day is Conversation and I instantly thought of this song:
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2020/07/26/conversation/
A little less conversation a little more action. 🙂
A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfaction in me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
Satisfy me, baby
Baby, close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It’s a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease
A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfaction in me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
(Satisfy me) Satisfy me, baby (satisfy me)
Come on, baby, I’m tired of talking
Grab your coat and let’s start walking
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Don’t procrastinate, don’t articulate
Girl, it’s getting late, gettin’ upset waitin’ around
A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
(Satisfy me) Satisfy me, baby (satisfy me)
Come on, baby, I’m tired of talking
Grab your coat and let’s start walking
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Don’t procrastinate, don’t articulate
Girl, it’s getting late, gettin’ upset waitin’ around
A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
(Satisfy me) Satisfy me (satisfy me)
The Word of the Day is River
and so I instantly thought of these songs,
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2020/06/27/river-2/
2. Christie – Yellow River
and finally, a little something from me. A version of the classic song Moon River, sung by me. 🙂
The Word of the Day is Newly, and for some reason, this made me think of a Singer and Actor, Anthony Newley.
He was married to the Actress Joan Collins and had quite a few hits in the UK charts in the ’50s and early ’60s including this song: Why.
This song always makes me cry a bit, my Mum used to sing it to me when I was little as a lullaby.

So the Word of the Day is Sand and I couldn’t help but think of this golden oldie song – Love letters in the Sand.
Here’s a poem that I have just written about procrastinating…
I was dancing in a circle
my cheeks flushed with rosy hues
I wondered why my life had changed
I was puzzled and confused.
I was dancing in a circle
when my head began to spin
the world continued passing by
I was scared to enter in.
But life continues on without me,
As I dance here on my own.
Then one day I’ll wonder
why all that time had flown?

And here is a song I sang about Dancing:
The Word of the Day is Dancing:

Right now, I’m feeling a bit fed up and I have a sore and swollen eye, but at times like this, I remember this song by Nat King Cole. So I thought I’d sing it too and share it with you, in the hope it makes you Smile. 🙂
Oh, and happy Mother‘s Day too. 🙂

The Word of the Day is Valley and I instantly thought of this song by the Monkees.
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2020/04/28/valley/
The Word of the Day is Lonely and its rather appropriate, as during this Lockdown, my current situation of living on my own is rather making me feel a bit lonely. I have to say though, it also makes me appreciate my friends and family who have been great at keeping in touch. 🙂
https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2020/04/25/lonely/
In order to raise my spirits, I’ve been singing and I decided to give one of my favourite Roy Orbison songs a go:
Happy Saturday and I hope you’re not too lonely 🙂
The Word of the Day is Secret,
It’s no secret that I love the golden oldies and the classic songs of yesteryear. The Word of the Day made me think of these songs:
2. Secret Love by the Wonderful Doris Day – It’s no secret to those that know me that I thought Doris was wonderful.
3. Finally, it is a bit of a secret that I love to sing, not always brilliantly, but here is a song that I sang about being stuck in Lockdown…

Happy Sunday 🙂 x
