Boomer Randomness: Etta

I love most music but my favorite is blues. A legend of that genre died today. Etta James had a powerful voice and this signature song from early in her recording days makes that point. Enjoy.

Excerpts from a song I like

You and me together, we could do anything baby. You and me together, yes yes.
Wanna pack your bags, something small, take what you need
and we disappear without a trace we’ll be gone, gone
You and I, we’re not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we’re gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world, to the end of the world.
We can look back at what we did, all these memories of you and me baby
But right now it’s you and me forever girl
You know that you and me, we could do anything
Two of us together, we could do anything

-- Dave Matthews

Lyrics I Wish I'd Written

The first time we kissed I lost my legs.

Dave Matthews

Baby this could be our last first kiss,

history in the making

Darius Rucker

Life's not the breaths you take

...but the moments that take your breath away.

sung by George Strait

So tell that someone that you love

just what you're thinking of

if tomorrow never comes

Garth Brooks

I’ve lost the use of my heart
But I’m still alive,
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side.
I’m a soldier of love.
Sade
