It’s in the lyrics:
This is it. Confidence is all I need.
This is how You’re going to save me from myself.
From all that fails.
I see You and me and everything in between.
And I know I’m wrong but You long to fuel the fire beneath these tired bones.
As I dance this road back to You.
A place of sweet escape I fell into.
My everything will always sing Your glory.
Progress. I confess is way overdue.
I get caught up in the things that I’ve held onto.
For too long I’ve been alone.
I’m stronger every step I take.
Back to You.
Run back to You.
A place of sweet escape I fell into.
A familiar taste that You have made inside this refuge I can’t create.
All back to You.
A place of sweet escape I fell into.
Your glory. Your glory.
Sing Hallelujah. I’ll forever sing to lift You up.
Sing Hallelujah. I’ll forever sing to lift You up.
You are my King.
You are my King …
That’s me and The Captain of the Carnival Imagination. The shot was taken up on the bridge as part of the very exclusive 3½-hour ‘behind-the-fun’ tour of the non-public areas of the ship during the final full day at sea.
This week on the ‘Retro’ it’s the second most-played song of the fun ship cruise that I heard in the Dynasty Lounge before and after the various games and shows in there. It’s the current worldwide pop and dance radio smash from European sensation Cascada. Here’s “Evacuate The Dancefloor”:
For the 14 of you who wish to know all about my Carnival Imagination cruise be sure to hit up the big green blog tomorrow (Saturday) morning. I’ll have it all for you ‘Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ style. You won’t regret it pal !
OK it’s been over 100 hours since our last blogging session together, so let’s get back on schedule here:
I’m a big fan of Elton John‘s music through the decades. I’ve got favourites of his from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Fast songs. Slow songs. Rockers. Ballads. Some of the greatest songs of my entire lifetime came from Sir Elton.
During the Disco era of the late-1970s Elton kinda sorta took a breather from the action. After all his style of music was not exactly dance floor ready – or was it ?
He actually gave it one shot at the very end of the era during the late Summer of 1979 (although it was actually recorded two Summers earlier). That one shot turned out to be one of the last remaining Top 10 Disco hits during its dying days. For a Disco song from Elton John this one was surprisingly a bit on the mellow side.
Here’s one of my favourite Elton John songs of all-time. Here’s “Mama Can’t Buy You Love” – a Top 10 Disco Smash !
