Poetry in motion Day 27


April is national poetry month and while I do follow along with my local library's daily selection, this year instead of writing my own poetry or sharing a classic of another, I am sharing songs, well lyrics of songs, that I consider pure poetry. Poetry in motion as it were.

If you've been swept away by a poem, whether or not put music and can help sweep us away, please join in and share your ocean of emotion/poetry in motion as well.

Special thanks drmgirl622, 4Faksake, jenny, mockyloks & tsarah, who have offered suggestions or shared their selections.....It is greatly appreciated!

**POST IN COMMENTS DUE POOR SITE FEATURE MAINTENANCE**

Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.
At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached.
May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black

Third time trying to post this............

We all have them don't we? Those poems as songs that roll over you like a tidal wave, making you close your eyes, open your ears, throw your head back and tune out the world as the tune itself drowns you in feeling!

They can be sweet or sad, moving or numbing, quiet and gently stirring, fierce, hell no, fuck yeah, or fucked up and loud.

As cute as the lyrics are the fun of this song is its music and laa dee dah tone of her singing. Even if you know it by heart, if you haven't heard it this week, go take a listen and skip the reading here.

I stay out too late, got nothin' in my brain
That's what people say, mmm hmm,
that's what people say, mmm hmm
I go on too many dates, but I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say mmm mmm,
that's what people say mmm mmm

[chorus]But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind, sayin' it's gonna be alright
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see mmm mmm,
that's what they don't see mmm mmm
I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own),
I'll make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know mmm mmm,
that's what they don't know mmm mmm

[chorus]

I shake it off, I shake it off
X5

Hey, hey, hey

Just think while you've been getting down and out
about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats in the world
You could have been getting down to this sick beat

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh my God", but I'm just gonna shake it

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake, yeah

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate me)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (the fakers baby)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I shake it off, I shake it off


Taylor Swift "Shake It Off"

You want a butt shaking song.....here's my favorite

Brick House
Commodores

Ow, she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house

That lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's a brick house
Well put-together, everybody knows
This is how the story goes
She knows she got everything
That a woman needs to get a man, yeah, yeah
How can she lose with the stuff she use
Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six oh what a winning hand

'Cause she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
Ow, that lady stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's a brick house

Yeah, she's the one, the only one, built like an amazon
The clothes she wears, her sexy ways
Make an old man wish for younger days, yeah, yeah
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a strong man to his knees
'Cause she's a brick house

Yeah, she's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Brick house

Yeah, she's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
Yeah, she's the one, the only one, built like an amazon, yeah
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it, shake it
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it
Ow, a brick house

    Quoting  :

Its a great fun song with a lesson to remember about THEY.

Ha, the only reason I even know who ol Richard is, is because my BBFs mom had several of his albums. I love piano music and noone can compare to Jim Brickman says my heart.
Violins, piano, drums, horns.........they all have a time and place and versions of songs we like best. The beauty of our place in an interactive world. Imagine all we wouldnt know or have heard if we'd been born even 100 years ago!

Im not sure who adam or paula are, but I do love a good ass(male please) and a non sarcastic smart ass. Not for their elevating psychological sense of self but cuz there is just so much stupidity floating around that needs a good smart smack in the ass to keep it in line
