Glad to be back. Been on the DL for a bit had some dental work done last week so I’ve been working on that recovery. Good to happen now as it’s still the Winter in Chicago and it was verrrryyy cold, brrrrr last week but now they’re saying 50’s this week. That sounds about right for Chicago in the Midwest during February. Hopefully March will come in like a lamb, but then we’ll have to wait and see hoping it doesn’t go out like a lion 😉 …
Today the prompt for SLS is, the title of the song is also the title of the movie. Thanks Mr. Jim, always love you post’s !!! I’m going to go with a song and the movie that was one of me and my daughter’s fav’s…”Against All Odds”. Phil Collins recording and Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward starring in the movie !!! We both really loved watching this together and we use to sing it loud and proud in the car !!!
“Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)”
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you? Ooh, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
‘Cause we’ve shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
So, take a look at me now
Well, there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now, take a look at me now
‘Cause there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now
‘Cause I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take
Take a look at me now
I hope you enjoy the memories lizzie <3. They were good ones !!! Happy Sunday to all and let’s have a great week !!!!
Nice choice Scarlet. The director of this movie Taylor Hackford asked Phil to write the title song to the film that was about an ageing American football star, who is hired by a mobster to find his girlfriend. Phil said that the song was inspired and written shortly after the split between him and his first wife, and the kids had gone, and he was left there alone. He said that the divorce transformed him from just being a musician into also being a lyricist.
Interesting…Thanks for stopping by Mr. Jim. Blessings for you this week.
Very cool song and movie. Good choice.
So happy you came by … I really love both of them . Have a great rest of your week .
