12 Sep 01 - 10:56 PM (#548586) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: Troll Sleep? "Cawdor shall sleep no more, for Glamis hath murdered sleep." I wish I could but when I close my eyes, I see that plane hitting the tower and hear the cries of the wounded and the dieing in my mind. When exhaustion takes over, I dream and the dreams are worse than the reality. "Sleep; that knits the raveled sleeve of care..." I wish. troll |

12 Sep 01 - 10:59 PM (#548588) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: flattop Try reading the words over and over until the crowd everything else out of your mind. I've only read them about 4 times and I'm tired. |

12 Sep 01 - 11:35 PM (#548618) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: katlaughing flattop, thank you, so much! I am going to print this out and refer to it every time I get to feeling anxious and as though I am not doing enough or quickly enough.:-) I LOVE that "dulcify!" Now, I know what I do when I play my duclimer. When people ask me what I am, I'll tell them I am a dulcifer!**BG** I wanted to post the lyrics to a beautiful lully the Moddy Blues did, but I don't know the name and can't find it. It starts out something like, "Close your eyes and go to sleep, Hmmm, Hmmmm, Hmmm, Hm...(those are supposed to be words.) It is a beautiful melody and driving me nuts that I cannot remember the words. Anyway, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite. luvyakat |

13 Sep 01 - 07:47 AM (#548778) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: flattop You're welcome kat. Perhaps we should read the Thesaurus more often. Years ago I played a Moody Blues song similar to the one you mentioned. I hurt my brain trying to remember it. It had Ummms instead of Hummms and the chords went from E to C#m to A. The words that came back were like, 'The rain is on the roof, hurry high???????' |

13 Sep 01 - 11:27 AM (#548913) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: katlaughing I saw OM, but it doesn't scan quite right for the tune I've got and I do remember some kind of lully words. Right, now, on a piano keyboard, the first few notes (someday I will learn abc): G D A Fsharp G (middle)C E F E E D See if that jogs any memories, please, everyone? I can do more if needed. Thanks! I slept well until lower back pain hit!*bg* kat |

13 Sep 01 - 11:40 AM (#548921) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: GUEST,Frank We live in the world. We can't deny our grief. But the "senseless" inhumanity that we witnessed has a "sense" about it if we can become larger in our understanding as to why it happened. For this, we need to meditate, pray, internalize our collective grief and not overreact. This horrible tragedy has a "meaning" if we can bring ourselves forward to grasp it. The only solution through this web of horror is to understand. Then we can appropriately deal with it. Frank |

13 Sep 01 - 12:06 PM (#548931) Subject: RE: BS: Sleep Well Tonight From: katlaughing oH, JEEZ, I should have gone with my first instinct last night. I thought "Beatles" then, "No, Moddy Blues." Duh, it was the Beatles. Maybe we can use this one tonight: Goodnight Lennon / McCartney (1968) {Slow lullaby} 1. [G]Now it's [Bmi]time to [C]say goodnight, [Bmi]Good [C]night, sleep [D7]tight. [G]Now the [Bmi]sun turns [C] out his light, [Bmi]Good [C]night, sleep [D7] tight
{Chorus:} [Bmi]Dream sweet [Ami]dreams for [Bmi]me [Ami], [G]Dream sweet [Ami]dreams for [G]you [Ami].
2. Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Goodnight, sleep tight Now the moon begins to shine, Goodnight, sleep tight
{Chorus.}
{Middle:} [G]Hm, m [Ami]m, [A]Hm, m [Dmi]m, [G]Hm, m, [C]m-m-m [D7]m.
3. Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Goodnight, sleep tight Now the sun turns out his light, Goodnight, sleep tight
{Chorus.}
