Sweeney Todd

I just watched Sweeney Todd.

I love this song!

 

Not While I'm Around

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere nowadays
I'll send them howling, I don't care, I've got ways
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare,
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile for awhile
But in time
Nothing can harm you, not while I'm around.
Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true,
I don't need to, I would never
Hide a thing from you
Like some
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not a worry, whistle I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile for awhile
But in time
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Not while I'm around

I First heard about Sweeney Todd through Barbra Streisand. I heard her version of the song "Nothings Gonna Harm You". I just loved the lyrics it never fails to make me feel so fine in times when I feel Gray.

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
Buyin' time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
Buyin' time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Aah! The movie's great! Watch it.

So long my Dear Heath!

We just lost one of the most talented actors in Hollywood.  It's too sad he died so young.

Who knows what more he could have accomplished!  I liked him best singing in the movie "10 things I hate about you".  And I'll always remember him jousting in "A Knight's Tale" and his best performance as Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain" and most recently I watched him as Bob Dylan in " I'm not There". 

Heath you'll be sorely missed!

The Friendship Book by Francis Gay 1990

Here's an excerpt.

 

A poem by J.M. Robertson:

"Life can be a journey

With many variations,

A challenge---an adventure,

with changing destinations.

It starts at Optimism,

Then moves along the way,

Passing through Confusion,

Delight, and then Dismay.

There's the all-important question,

That the cross-roads stop entails---

Take the straight and narrow,

Or wander off the rails?

Watch out for the sign-posts,

And study them with care.

Some can lead to Happiness,

Others to Despair.

Though no one knows for certain

What lies around the bend,

Always travel hopefully

Until the journey's end."

Inspiring No?  I liked reading this.  It reminds me that everything's gonna be okay. No matter how gloomy everything in seems to be.
