Saturday in The Park
In such a "Saturday in the park" kinda mood today.
Perhaps it's because I took a stroll around the premises today, round the pool, by the garden, the trees, and soaked up some sun after a fabulous Saturday night. Plus it's the 4th of July.
This song, written by Robert Lamm, founder of Chicago, aptly captures the emotions and feelings of going to the park and indulging in activities in the park. In this case Central Park in NYC. Lamm was reportedly very excited after visiting and seeing the activities there- the steel drum players, singers, dancers, and jugglers. He said; "Man, it's time to put music to this!". Also the peace and love thing with people spending time and enjoying each others presence. The lyrics are simple, poetic and as vivid as the colours they amplify. Like this line;
"Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day" He was describing kids riding bicycles tied with balloons.
Enjoy the song, the video and Central Park. Happy 4th of July everyone, especially people in America.
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday
I think it was the Fourth of July
Another day in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
A man playing guitar (play the song)
(Play the song, play on)
And singing for us all
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost, all is not lost, no, no, no
