This little bit o’ fun was a challange from Kitty:
So here is your assignment for today, dear readers. Find a song that inspires you to write something, whether it gives you an idea for a script or just puts you into a better frame of mind
Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before….
When I write my stories that I like to think of as “Grave Tales” I always reach for my Elvis tunes and I play this one first…actually I listen to it a lot when I’m writing.
It’s been the ‘back beat’ for stories like
Midnight Conversation at Riversleigh
annndddd here it is!
Way Down Lyrics (Elvis Presley)
Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin’
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can’t describe
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let’s go
Irregular Bones

Man, the King was gorgeous, wasn’t he?
When I think of Elvis, I can just hear the
{{{screams}}}
of the fangirls.
Just perfect for Anita’s Curious Tales.
Being a writer AND an ex-guitarist I find the two won’t mix. If I’m listening to music, the writer muse turns off.
Sadly, I have to always write in silence.
Long Live the King! (No, he’s not really dead, you know…..)
This reminds me of baby sitting. All of his movies were on late night when I would babysit. Good times.
