Jim has given us the words around/down/sideways/up. I’m going with Lionel Richie and “All Around the World.”
We’ve seen Lionel Richie twice now and he puts on a great show. During one part he tells how his songs, “Still, Oh, No and Stuck on You” are sung for lovers in various stages of happiness and sadness. “When you’re sad, who you gonna call?” Lionel. “When you’re happy, who you gonna call?” Lionel! “When you’re in love, who you gonna call?” LIONEL!
Here are the lyrics to “All Around the World”
Let’s go all around the world
All around the world
Take me all around the world
Give me joy, give me love
Take it all around the world
So much life, life is what you feel
It’s in your mind, it’s in your heart and soul
The time is right, you’ve just got to know
It’s time to let go
Let’s go all around the world
All around the world
Take me all around the world
Give me joy, give me love
Take it all around the world
I said all around the world
Let’s go all around the world
and the video:
Seeing these pictures from 2013(!) makes me realize that I have SO MANY concerts to do some scrapbooking about. Really have to make some time to do that.
Have a happy Sunday!

It’s funny how I forget about certain performers then you mention them and I have a flashback to some time or place. In this case I’m back in a college dorm, listening to a neighbor play his music.

I hope that was a nice flashback, Ally. I’m surprised sometimes too with the way my mind wanders during these musical interludes.

Oh yes. Just hearing the record player [probably] next door as I was doing my homework, grateful it wasn’t acid rock attacking my ears from one of the guy’s rooms in my coed dorm. š

You are welcome! I used to do a “live” on Facebook from a concert but haven’t done one in a while.

Janet,
I’ve not seen Lionel in concert. I love mewsic but I don’t need to be in a loud setting with my precious hearing diminishing. I’ve come to really like Lionel since he took on the AI judge spot. He strikes me as a kind, sincere man and I’d love to meet him. Thanks for visiting over the weekend and you’re welcome to join the 4M dance party if you’d like. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

Thanks Cathy! I keep thinking I’m going to come along on M4 and then I get sidetracked. I got hooked on the concert feel and the energy of the crowd.

Lionel Richie had a great career performing with the Commodores and also a successful solo career singing his soulful love ballads. Nice song Janet.
