January 27th. Its song lyric theme week for 365:2013. I thought excitedly what a great theme and then I over complicated it .........
I love music, all sorts of music; so I thought should I do a theme (days of the week?), my favourite songs, my favourite band, favourite album? should I do songs that have personal meaning?
And then Sunday happened.
My husband is working this weekend so I am sole parenting. It was rugby this morning - at Perranporth. There is a small nature reserve at the back of the club so I walked round to take some grass shots in the sun (which was lovely). Whilst standing there amongst the rustling grass a song came to mind. It's not at all trendy, nor a classic nor a favourite (when I looked up the lyrics I came across an Elbow song entitled Whisper Grass which would have been much hipper, but hey this is the song I thought of). My UK generation may remember this as a comedy song from the 70s but it was in fact written in 1940. This is the third verse, which is the one I remembered
"Why tell them all your secrets
Who kissed there long ago
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know"
Yes, I am a sad muppet, but I dare you not to sing along

I am also using this for BB52 week 4 "Pockets of Light" as I love the light in the grass heads!
