 An inspiration or a work in progress
Back to Full Blog  

Today I watched Flower Drum Song on TCM...

I had thought I had seen it before many years ago and thought the following song "Sukiyaki" - was in originally in it, but I was wrong. 

Does anyone remember the musical this song was featured in ? 

Recently I started redecorating my home.  After 22 years here, I feel like I am actually staying here.  It never felt like home to me before for various reasons.  Mostly because I felt I was 'too good for it'.  How sad, all of these years wasted not making my house a home.

Now I am making it my own.

MY bedroom, as I am often quoted as saying...as opposed to 'OUR' bedroom...is my next project.  It naturally or intentionally I should say, looks like an Asian inspired room with it's furniture a deep black laquer and mahogany (faux of course). 

 So I am going with the flow...

Any ideas would be appreciated for decorating...I have many which include one entire wall RED !  And of course tons of fire and water inspired accents, etc...Feng Shui.

Enjoy the following song by A Taste Of Honey....Sukiyaki !

 

 

 

It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away now, My love is just a rainy day
I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Unintentional memory Seemed to depart to me
Of love that's true
That one day turned my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I wishin you were here with me

Stop this love that I have for you
Now that you're gone I don't know what to do

If only you were here, You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine and Once again you'd be mine
But in reality, I know it will never be
Cause you took your love away from me, .(.repeat this line)

(2)

"Ue o muite arukō" (上を向いて歩こう "[I] shall walk looking up") is a Japanese song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by Rokusuke Ei and Hachidai Nakamura. It is best known under its alternative title "Sukiyaki" in English-speaking parts of the world. The song reached the top of the sales charts in the United States in 1963, and was the only Japanese language song to do so. In total it sold over 13 million copies internationally.[1][2]

The lyrics start as follows:

上を向いて歩こう ue o muite arukō ([I] shall walk looking up)
涙がこぼれないように namida ga kobore nai yō ni (so [my] tears won't fall)
思い出す春の日 omoidasu haru no hi (remembering spring days)
一人ぼっちの夜 hitoribocchi no yoru ([on this] lonely night)

The recording was originally released in Japan by Toshiba in 1961. It topped the Popular Music Selling Record chart in the Japanese magazine "Music Life" for three months. In 1963, the British record label Pye Records released a cover version of the song by Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen. They were concerned that English-speaking audiences might find the original title too difficult to remember/pronounce, so they gave it the new title of "Sukiyaki'". FYI darlin, no reference to any movie that it may have been in...I remember it like Louis Armstrong tho...BC

I like the idea of the red wall----why not?!? Our last child has married and left home, so I've been thinking of re-doing this place some. Maybe try something new. Hope you are well.

Decorating is alway a fun project. I'd love to have the funds to decorate my house the way I want to. It would like like it belonged in a magazine. Maybe some day.... A girl can dream!

Have a good time doing this. Making a house your own home is a wonderful place to be.

Happy 4th, Lucy!
