#My52 – Week 13

Word Prompt – pillow

Word Count – Drabble – 100

Dena leaned back against the pillow, panting.

It was over, and it was a new beginning.

The searing pain she’d felt only moments before vanished.

She pulled fresh air into her starved lungs.

Emotions overwhelmed her and tears streamed from the corners of her eyes.

Her life would never be the same.

She stretched out her arms pulling the new love of her life close.

Dena giggled as she smoothed the frown lines between his eyes and caressed his cheek.

He was everything to her.

Joy filled her soul as he held her gaze.

“Hello, Tristan Alexander. I’m your mama.”

Song Lyric Sunday | “Turn On (The Beat Box)” – Earth, Wind & Fire

Song Lyric Sunday banner

Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.

This week’s theme is  “Record/Jukebox/DJ/Radio.”

 ~~~~~

Jukeboxes shrunk and took on a new look in the 70s and 80s. Everyone carried their music with them using cassette players, Walkmans, and beat boxes (aka ghetto blasters not the engineering device!)

Turn on (The Beat Box) was written by Maurice White, Rhett Lawrence and Martin Page and appeared on the soundtrack of the feature film Caddyshack II. The song also can be found on EWF’s 1988 compilation album The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 2.

The single rose to No. 26 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and is still an Earth, Wind & Fire concert standard.

I didn’t want to sacrifice sound quality (or time) so I went with a still video, but turn your speakers waaaay UP! It’s time to dance! 😀

Enjoy!

 Turn on (the Beat box)
by Earth, Wind & Fire
Songwriters: Maurice White, Rhett Lawrence & Martin Page

 

Turn on
Have you been thinking nothing ever changes
And you could be making a difference tonight
Why are you waiting – anticipating
Can’t find the feeling when you know it’s right

Oh I just want to see you smile
Forget about yesterday
Nothing can stop you now
So what are you waiting for

Turn on, turn on the beat box baby
We’re walking on the party line
Crank it up and let the music
Turn every night into a Saturday night

Whenever you’re ready – we’ll be rocking each day
You’re gonna get lucky – leaving it all behind
Time’s ticking away – it’s another Saturday
So it’s time to bring out on the party line

Oh I just want to see you smile
Forget about yesterday
Nothing can stop you now
So what are you waiting for

Turn on, turn on the beat box baby
We’re walking on the party line
Crank it up and let the music
Turn every night into a Saturday night

It’s so bright
I know your beat box baby
Are you ready for a good time
So come on move with the feeling
And every night is a Saturday night

Turn on

Turn on, turn on the beat box baby
We’re walking on the party line
Crank it up and let the music
Turn every night into a Saturday night

It’s so bright
I know your beat box baby
Are you ready for a good time
So come on move with the feeling
And every night is a Saturday night

Turn on

Turn on, turn on the beat box baby
We’re walking on the party line
Crank it up and let the music
Turn every night into a Saturday night

It’s so bright
I know your beat box baby
Are you ready for a good time
So come on move with the feeling
And every night is a Saturday night

Beat box – beat box baby
