The best slide and movie film in his­tory is now offi­cially retired. Kodachrome: 1935–2010.

My heart is broken.

Paul Simon — Kodachrome

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a won­der
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu—cation
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writ­ing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright col­ors
They give us the greens of sum­mers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon cam­era
I love to take a pho­to­graph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was sin­gle
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
my sweet imag­i­na­tion
every­thing looks WORSE in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright col­ors
They give us the greens of sum­mers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon cam­era
I love to take a pho­to­graph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Cucur­ru­cucú Paloma

Dicen que por las noches
no más se le iba en puro llo­rar;
dicen que no comía,
no más se le iba en puro tomar.
Juran que el mismo cielo
se estremecía al oír su llanto,
cómo sufrió por ella,
que hasta en su muerte la fue lla­mando:
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
de pasión mor­tal moría.
Que una paloma triste
muy de mañana le va a can­tar
a la casita sola
con sus puer­ti­tas de par en par;
juran que esa paloma
no es otra cosa más que su alma,
que todavía espera a que regrese la des­dichada.
Cucur­ru­cucú paloma, cucur­ru­cucú no llores.
Las piedras jamás, paloma,
¿qué van a saber de amores?
Cucur­ru­cucú, cucur­ru­cucú,
cucur­ru­cucú, cucur­ru­cucú,
cucur­ru­cucú, paloma, ya no le llores.

— rough eng­lish translation

Coo… Coo…’’ Dove

They say that every night
he was wholly over­taken by tears;
They say he never ate, but only drank.

They swear that even the heav­ens
trem­bled to hear his wail,
he suf­fered for her so,
that even in death, he never stopped call­ing for her:

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,” he sang,
“Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,” he howled,
“Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,” he sang,
tor­mented by a fatal pas­sion. They say that in early morn­ing
a sad dove sings to the lit­tle empty house
with its wide open lit­tle doors. They swear that the dove
is none other than his spirit,
hop­ing still for the return
of the ill-fated woman “Coo… coo…”
Dove,
”Coo… coo…”
don’t weep.
What will these stones ever know, lit­tle dove,
of love?
“Coo… coo… coo… coo…
coo… coo… coo…coo…
coo… coo…”
Lit­tle dove, do not weep anymore.

Have always loved this song. Dou­ble Fan­tasy is a fab­u­lous album. Enjoy your tuesday.

John Lennon — I´m los­ing you

Here in some stranger’s room
Late in the after­noon
What am I doing here at all?
Ain’t no doubt about it
I’m los­ing you
I’m los­ing you

Some­how the wires got crossed
Communication’s lost
Can’t even get you on the tele­phone
Just got to shout about it
I’m los­ing you
I’m los­ing you

Well, here in the val­ley of inde­ci­sion
I don’t know what to do
I feel you slip­ping away
I feel you slip­ping away
I’m los­ing you
I’m los­ing you

Well now, you say you’re not get­ting enough
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff
So what the hell am I sup­posed to do?
Just put a bandaid on it?
And stop the bleed­ing now
Stop the bleed­ing now

I’m los­ing you
I’m los­ing you
Well, well, well

I know I hurt you then
But hell, that was way back when
Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it)
Don’t want to hear about it
I’m los­ing you
I’m los­ing you
Don’t want to lose you now
Well­l­l­l­l­lll!
So long ago

I do have to admit that I’ve been on a music thang lately. Has some­thing to do with work­ing so much. Lis­ten­ing to lots of tunes. Being in the sound­track of your life. I’m not apol­o­giz­ing — I’m going with it. Who knows where it will lead. Hope you enjoy it with me.

Just was play­ing a lyric game with my cousin. She’s had a ticket for her des­ti­na­tion. She’s on the train now. Enjoy the jour­ney. Love this video — classic.
