The award for the longest running song to go around and around in my brain goes to Across the Universe by the Beatles – I’ve been singing it since Monday afternoon. No other songs have been present in my head – I think this is a record! (actually, it IS a record, recorded first in 1968, then again in 1970 on their Let It Be album) 😛 I miss playing records. I used to have this pink portable record player and about 200 records of all kinds when I was a kid, and I’d spend *endless* hours just listening to music and giving all my little toys a ride on the turntable. I do still have a good collection of albums and a record player, so I guess all I need are some speakers. I love the crackling sound that they make, the endless spinning, and of course, listening to 33 1/3 speed records on 45 or even 78 – that could make anyone sound like a chipmunk! (and I think the toys liked it too!)

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
