Music Passion – October “Morning”
Another month, another musical topic for the Music Passion game hosted on Dolly’s Blog, All About Lemon. Carolyn, who writes and blogs on ABC of Spirit Talk is September’s winner and has selected “Morning” as the theme for October. Congratulations Carolyn!
I’ve selected a Cat Stevens singing an old hymn “Morning Has Broken” for my entry this month. Many mistakenly credit Stevens for writing this, but the song itself has a long history. If you are interested and wish to read more about it, click here.
Enjoy.

I do feel a little more edumacated after visiting your music posts, even after taking a Jazz History course.
Who’d a thunk Mitt could bust a move like that?
When I saw your title with “Morning” in it, that’s the first song I thought of. A modern classic (if you consider the 1970s (or the original hymn written in the 1930s) “modern.”
Lorna, with my tastes in classical music, a 100 year old piece is fairly modern…
I hope that your weekend has
started with a wicked smile Phil

The wicked and naughty intentions were there Androgoth, but the landscaping projects that took me all weekend to do put a dent in the wickedness.
Always make time
for the wickedness Phil
I hope that your Monday
was exciting

My church choir used to sing this song occasionally. I absolutely love it.
It is a lovely song. Do you sing in the choir?
One of my absolute favourites! The words are fabulous.
Thank you ladyfi.
Phil, there is a reason why, more often than not, I do avoid music. Unless someone makes me sit down to listen.

Here’s hoping it wasn’t too rough an ordeal to be made to sit down and listen.
I love Cat Stevens and this song reminds me of sixth grade graduation. The entire sixth grade performed it. We practiced for what seems like months. I remember that every time I hear it.
I love this Music Passion idea. I’m so glad to have found you.
Hippie, thanks for the kind words, and thanks for visiting. I’ve had fun with the game – it leads me to many a new little golden nugget of songs I may never have heard before, and refreshes my memory of older favorites that were gathering dust in my mind.
Great choice, Phil… Always loved this one..!
Thanks Carolyn! You picked a nice theme for October.
Phil,

Thanx!
Kim, I’ll need to play around with my homepage template and see if I can set it up, as soon as I get some time…
OK Kim, I did it, but you’ll need to click on the “Follow Random Thoughts” button located near the upper right of page.
Excellent song. Its storied history gives it a new dimension. Makes me wish music history was a required course for everyone.

I wonder why or how we cannot seem to find the time to add a slice of the Arts into a curriculum because we supposedly are falling behind academically in the Math and Science. Yet, curriculum changes aren’t having a drastic effect – a topic entirely unto itself.
Music is math in motion. Science is math applied. It is like trying to drive a car with only one wheel. *shakes head*
