This is classic Beatles, probably my favorite music group growing up!

Eight Days a Week – Beatles

Oh, I need your love, babe
Guess you know it’s true
Hope you need my love babe
Just like I need you

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me

Love you every day, girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say, girl
Love you all the time

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
I ain’t got nothing but love, girl

Eight days a week
I love you
Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care

Words of Love – Beatles

This is a wonderful song by Buddy Holly, but I love the Beatles so much and this video version is really cool.  This is such a romantic song and easy to play.  Chords: A, D, E

Words of Love – Beatles

Hold me close and
Tell me how you feel,
Tell me love is real.

[Chorus:]
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmmm,
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmmm,

Let me hear you say
The words I long to hear,
Darling when you’re near.

[Chorus:]

Mamma Mia – ABBA

Mamma Mia – ABBA

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I’ve missed you?

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go
I’ve been angry and sad about things that you do
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you “we’re through”
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won’t be away too long
You know that I’m not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

[Chorus]

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
“Bye bye, leave me now or never”
Mamma mia, it’s a game we play
“Bye bye” doesn’t mean forever

[Chorus]

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

Chiquitita – ABBA

Chiquitita – ABBA

Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
You’re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love’s a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

After the Gold Rush – KD Lang

This an amazing song by Neil Young sung by KD Lang.  I love her voice for this song.  It’s powerful.  Does it foretell the future?  We can only wonder and see!

After the Gold Rush – KD Lang

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin’ something about a queen
There were peasants singin’ and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin’ to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies
Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

I was lyin’ in a burned out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin’ for a replacement
When the sun burst through the skies
There was a band playin’ in my head
And I felt like getting high
Thinkin’ about what a friend had said,
I was hopin’ it was a lie
Thinkin’ about what a friend had said,
I was hopin’ it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flyin’ mother nature’s silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flyin’ mother nature’s silver seed
To a new home in the sun

The Greatest Hero – James Purdie

This song was inspired by someone who gave me some pure love-energy when I needed it.  

A cute song to celebrate the transforming power of love! True Love can make heroes of us all. But would you go to planet Mars for your True Love? And is the highest kind of love a trans-dimensional type of experience like the 4th Dimension. Can it open portals? What kind of cosmic chemistry can occur between people? For some love is like looking into a dream come true. Indeed love is one the greatest mysteries in the Universe.

Special Thanks to my usual circle of friends who I use for constant feedback, Curtis Good and Brian Wiltse.
Filmed on the Panasonic GH4 in 4K with Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro lens.

Greatest Hero – James Purdie

For you I would drive into Ocean.
For you I could find all the emotion.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I could fight a fearsome dragon.
For you I would drive that crazy wagon.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I could climb the highest mountain.
For you I would the eternal fountain.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

For you I would drink a magic potion.
For you I could swim across the ocean.
For you I would be the greatest hero in the world.
The greatest hero!

The Bondaygee Song

This is a special song for me though very simple because it’s where I got the whole “Bondaygee” idea from.  Check out the Bondaygee Story here.

The Bondaygee Song – James Purdie

Bondaygee Bondaygee! Students: “Bondaygee!” 

Bondaygee Bondaygee! Students: “Bondaygee!”

My favorite thing in the world to eat,

Is the sweet little bondaygee treat.

I’d like to eat it everyday if I could.

But my mother doesn’t think that I should

So I sing, “Bondaygee bondaygee” …………….bondaygee!

(I) went to the market for something to eat

There was a strange smell in the air.

I bought a cup and started to eat

That strange little bondaygee treat.

So I sing, “Bondaygee bondaygee” …………….bondaygee!
