nnozomiI was in a mood to check in on Dreamwidth, but it's been a very quiet week and I don't have much to talk about. So have a song lyrics meme (not quite all first lines, I've cheated a little) and some photos.
1.After you, who could supply my sky of blue? After You, Who (chestnut_pod)
2. Ask me how do I feel
3. 唱歌的时候穿过回忆的平原
4.É o pau, é a pedra, é o fim do caminho Águas de Março (chestnut_pod)
5.I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage Kiss Me, Son of God (landofnowhere)
6. I love your eyes, but I couldn’t tell the color
7. Life and love are the same
8. 何も聞かずにつきあってくれてサンキュ
9.Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio from Marriage of Figaro (chestnut_pod)
10.No one to talk to, all by myself Ain't Misbehavin' (chestnut_pod)
11.Slow down, you move too fast Feelin' Groovy = the 59th Street Bridge Song (Shadaras & chestnut_pod)
12.Take heart, fair days will shine Poor Wandering One (zdenka)
13. They’re writing songs of love
14. Un financier, et un poête, un époux ridicule, une femme coquette
15.What a fool I was, what a dominated fool Without You (landofnowhere)
16. When every heart joins every heart
17.我真的好想你，在每一个雨季 纸短情长 (Trobadora)
18. 心中的你怎么还不来望着窗外默默等待
19.You’ve been a fool and so have I Make Our Garden Grow (chestnut_pod & landofnowhere)
20. You, you’ll have me but you won’t
Photos: One of my very favorite examples of the sliced-off corners you see on buildings at intersections in this town; a cat waiting patiently and politely for me to go away; a café board that amused me (incidentally, "hot sand" does not mean they sell des(s)erts, it's a Japanese-ism for "toasted sandwiches"); autumn flowers, an autumn butterfly (to me all orange butterflies are monarchs, but who knows?), and some autumn veranda produce.
Be safe and well.

Oh, it was judging me so hard. But so cute.

Date: 2021-10-23 11:24 am (UTC)I like the assortment of autumnal photos! (The butterfly is not a monarch butterfly—those have very distinct black lines cutting the orange sections of their wings into lobed designs—but I don't know what kind of butterfly it is, other than a lovely one!)

Thank you! (On behalf of the butterfly.) chestnut_pod below says it's a Lesser Monarch of some kind...?

Love the café sign! And "hot sand" is excellent. I love language. ♥

Date: 2021-10-24 05:18 am (UTC)I'm very fond of that one! #18 is actually another Zhu Yilong song, an older one called 我会等 that popped up on YouTube for me the other day, do you know it? Creepy video but very pretty singing.
I love language. ♥
Me too. <3 <3

Date: 2021-10-23 04:38 pm (UTC)And let's see: 1. "After You, Who?" (who's your canonical version? Mine is Ella!) 4. is Águas de Março!! A perennial favorite, I like Susannah McCorkle's version. 9. The eponymous song from The Marriage of Figaro. 10. "Ain't Misbehaving," and who does it better than Sarah Vaughan? 11. "59th Street Bridge Song!" A standby of Jewish summer camp.
That's all I got; this was a hard one! (19 is a line from Candide, but I'm guessing that's not it, lol.)

Clearly our musical tastes align! As with most jazz/standards, my seminal version of "After You, Who" is my dad's piano arrangement, but I'll check out Ella. I thought you might know "Águas de Março"! I actually wrote part of my senior thesis on that song back when, along with "Amor até o Fim," basically on the topic of "Elis Regina is awesome and here is why"--I still like the Elis and Tom duet best.
(And yup, 19 is Candide! I like the song and find the opening line funny.)

#15: This is My Fair Lady, the song where Eliza chews Henry Higgins out, I think it might be called "Without You" but I'm not sure.
#19: "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide (as

I confess I always think of it as the "drop dead, Henry Higgins Take Two" song :) Love it.

Date: 2021-10-24 11:03 am (UTC)I would have gotten the Missing You lyrics as well! Sadly, the other two Chinese ones are stumping me. The 默默等待 part of the lyrics is tickling something, but I'm not getting there. *sigh*
None of the others ring a bell.
That butterfly looks very much like a monarch to me, too. Ooooh chilies!

Date: 2021-10-24 10:39 pm (UTC)That one is a much older Zhu Yilong song that YouTube served up to me not long ago, 我会等, do you know it? (The other Chinese one is a new song from Liu Chang called 谢谢你来听我唱歌, very sweet and sentimental.)
None of the others ring a bell.
sorry, this made me laugh because #2 is actually a song called "If I Were A Bell (I'd be ringing"... ;)
Ooooh chilies!
I still have twice as many not picked yet! Luckily once they're dry they last forever...

Date: 2021-10-24 10:30 pm (UTC)Hee! I like that. (Are many cafe boards in English?)
The way the photos are laid out on my screen (3x2), the cat looks about to pounce on the butterfly. :-D

lol, oh dear, it does! No worries, they were in fact geographically well separated. (Both very courteous, the butterfly posing for a picture and the cat patiently enduring until I went away and stopped bothering it.)

Me too on both counts! Eventually I'll get the nerve to go in there, lol.
