I Miss You John Lennon....
Oh Friday.... sometimes you drag on while I'm here slaving away at work, but then a certain songs appears on my radio and a smile crosses my face! Then my Friday dosn't seem too bad!
John Lennon's version of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" is one of my favorites. The song is pretty great to begin with but John Lennon just has that something that makes it even better! Maybe it's his signature voice, maybe it's cause he's a beetle, or maybe even because of those trademark shades..... Whatever it is we got to see a true legend in our time, taken away too soon. Well maybe my parents time, not so much my own... UGH! More evidence that points to my theory of being born in the wrong decade!!
The lyrics are simple and pleasing, the melody fun and upbeat, the twist that Lennon adds along to it makes me smile. It's good to have a few songs tucked into your back pocket, the ones ya know are gonna make you smile the minute they come on, no matter where ya are or what you're doing.
This is one of mine :)
Happy Friday
