Remember how on the record player you had to lift the arm and guess where to start a song again? Then we got tape players and it was better, but you still had to guess where to rewind too. Then we got CD's. Super easy. Now, mp3 players......Sometimes I would love to have my old record player back, a stack of 33's and 45's again. There is just something about hearing a song on a record player. So raw....
I thought of the Rainbow Connection again today. I was (still am???) such a dreamer as a child. Even when I graduated high school and my parents and sister took out an "ad" in the back of the yearbook, my mom chose When You Wish Upon A Star to put in it. I always was dreaming and wishing. Because when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.
The Rainbow Connection (click it man, it is Kermit singing the song. Dude....)
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 supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa
I really think one day we'll find it. The rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
