Elvis Fridays #1: Because...

...I don't need a reason. I just need something to make me feel a little better after another long, horrible week "at work".

The worst thing is, you can't even go out looking for another job right now, can you? I mean, who wants to go through the agony of applying for jobs when the world is already upside down? Doing a job interview in Teams? Starting work somewhere new but only actually meeting your colleagues via a computer screen?

And so, we cling to the awful old, upside down jobs we've got... because at least we've got a job right now, and so many don't... or soon won't. Be grateful for what you've got! Ughh.

So yes, I need Elvis Fridays right now. Because it means I can listen to this...

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere

Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue

If I can dream of a better land

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime

Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear

If I can dream of a warmer sun

Where hope keeps shining on everyone

Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud

With too much rain

We're trapped in a world

That's troubled with pain

But as long as a man

Has the strength to dream

He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question

Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle

And while I can think, while I can talk

While I can stand, while I can walk

While I can dream, please let my dream

Come true, right now

...and I can listen to this...

I said, "I'm so happy I could die"

She said, "Drop dead" then left with another guy

That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance

Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence

Oh, I used to be disgusted

And now I try to be amused

Since their wings have got rusted

You know the angels wanna wear my red shoes

But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain

That's when I knew that I could not refuse

And I won't get any older

Now the angels wanna wear my red shoes

More next week. Unless things brighten up around here.
