I dedicate this piece to my daughter who happened to take the last photo you will see in the video. As we say to each other, ala The Gilmore Girls, "Where you lead, I will follow, anywhere, that you tell me to." 💖🥰💖
Fly Me To The Moon, let me play among the stars. Let me know what Spring is like on, Jupiter or Mars, in other words, hold my hand.
I woke up with that song in my mind. It's a favorite of mine. Anything by Sinatra is. Classic and clean was the music from that era. Am I romanticizing things a bit? Perhaps. I wasn't yet born when Sinatra's rendition was released, but close enough was I to hold the feelings of that time in my body. Life felt easier. Simpler. When you could turn on the radio and not be offended or shocked by song lyrics. When you could walk to the corner store late at night and not have to concern yourself with seeing people drugged out. Where roads were new and not littered with potholes and homeless encampments. When you knew your neighbors. When neighborhood kids played together. Outside.
I long for that simplicity. So today I am wrapping up all of that energy putting it into this simple video montage, where you too can bring in that energy of simplicity while listening to Frank and enjoying images of that moon of ours, all photos either mine or others who graciously give away their photos for all to use.
May this video collection, along with the sweet, simple music, allow your mind to fly you to where you want to go, to the Moon and Beyond.
💖🙏
