Good afternoon SLS fans…IDK how I got away from the blog but been sort of laying low through this winter…I guess you could say I was hibernating … Today the SLS prompt came from March 15, 2026 – Song related to weather conditions of sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, or stormy suggested by Nancy of the Elephant’s Trunk aka The Sicilian Storyteller/ I thought of this song right away for some reason I do not know why, but I like this song a lot !!!! So here goes and I hope you enjoy it too.
The song is, Macarthur’s Park sung by Donna Summer…
So here goes and I hope you enjoy it too.
Macarthur’s Park
Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh
I found a different version of this song by Richard Harris. I always liked his voice better in his version of the song. The AI music video was amazing too!!! Really you must watch it, you will feel all the feels 🙂 Enjoy and Blessings on for your upcoming week…Love, Scarlett
ps…Not posting for a bit, I must I have gotten a bit rusty. So sorry 🙂 …


I always feel sorry for the poor cake when I hear this song. Thanks for joining in again, Scarlett.
This is a brilliant song, one I think is often misunderstood. I love your choice, Scarlett. This is thinking outside the box …. the cake box, that is!
Thank you so much for dropping by . This was the first song that came to mind when I heard the prompt …Blessings for your week. Hope to get back to posting regularly soon. Need to encourage the husband to start painting again. We are a family of artist. I’m the writer, he’s the painter, boys were the ballet dancers who married ballerinas and my daughter is our nurse . So many fun stories…
