Music on Mondays


Hopefully this song will not be taken down by You Tube ... which seems to happen quite often.
There are some women with a voice so beautiful, I could fall in love just by listing to them perform. Vanessa Williams knocks me out every time.

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim




But I know evry rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name





You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you





But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew





Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ?






Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?








Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth





Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth






The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends




In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends







Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you there he's been







Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?








How high does the sycamore grow ?
If you cut it down, then youll never know






And youll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned






We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still





All youll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind

Chris, this was the first time my "first pick" was actually there. Hope it keeps working !!

I went back to my old MM posts and found most of them were disabled. OYE OYE

Chris said...

Hi Speedy,

Does Yahoo music work any better, do you think? I should check to see if my old links are still working!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Yes, and the MySpace videos seem more stable too, but I can never find what I am looking for on those mediums.

We'll see ;-)

Chris said...

I just went and found out one of my links is not working now either. :( I'm bummed!

Michelle Dawn said...

She does have a beautiful voice. Happy MM

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Michelle!!!

Your 80's rock was like riding in my old Camaro again.

Shinade said...

Hi Speedy,
I love this tune. Every week you pick such lovely songs.

I think the Speedcat is a romantic soul.

Great pick!! I have another wild one going on at my place.

It's another side of me. My secret love for science fiction.

Hey but it's in the 80's!!

Happy week:-))))

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Hi Jackie!!

Ya ... your probably right :-)
I could listen to this song 100 times.

Your pick was a blast. I like these MM's just in the fact that all choices are so different.

Miss Moneypenny said...

Jane Turley said...

Hiya Speedy,

Yes that's a beautiful song and such a beautiful woman - you have such a sweet romantic side to you Speedy! But you are right - some music is so very emotive. The ability to make music and appreciate it is one of our nicer human traits....

Laura-Whateverebay said...

Wow~ I love this song! This is one of the few songs that allow my thoughts to drift away. My kids and I enjoy listening to it. Vanessa has an incredible voice. This piece could only be interpreted by her. Its a perfect fit...

:)

Daisy said...

Hi Speedy. :) Beautiful song here. She has a lovely voice. You are such a colorful guy, this seems like a very appropriate choice coming from you.

coltfan said...

Kimmie said...

You always knock my socks off when I come to visit you! This is one beautiful song and a very beautiful and talented artist. Nice choice. :-)

Hey...if I paint with all the colors of the wind, can I get the guy too? LOL! I be needing me one of them, got some chores to get done around the house. *Wink*

Hugs,
Kimmie

bluecrystaldude said...

I love her. I love her song especially this one. Reminiscing my old memories.. LOL :P

AMH615 said...

The movie was popular when my son was young so we'd watch it over and over. I'm one of those people who break out into spontaneous song for no apparent reason and so I couldn't help but sing along every time!

Mariuca said...

Beautiful number from a beautiful lady! :):):)

Netster said...
