I haven't HoT'd for months, so forgive me if I'm a little rusty …
Today's theme is "Black OR White." I opt for black, and here are five songs that use "black," but not "white," in the lyrics;
Black Is Black -- Los Lobos. "Black is black, I want my baby back. It's gray, it's gray, since she went away. Oh-oh, what can I do? Cuz I'm feelin' blue."
Back to Black -- Amy Winehouse. "We only said goodbye with words. I died a hundred times. You go back to her, when I go back to black."
Paint It Black -- The Rolling Stones. "I see a red door and I want it painted black. No colors anymore, I want them to turn black."
Baby's in Black -- The Beatles. "Oh, dear! What can I do? Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue. Tell me, oh, what can I do?"
Black -- Pearl Jam. "All the pictures had been all been washed in black, tattooed everything."

These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
You don't look rusty to me!
ReplyDeleteI recognize the first and third songs by name and might know the others if I heard them.
And now Black Is Black is stuck in my head. :)
Some great songs there. Particularly the Stones one.
ReplyDeleteGood selection of songs!
ReplyDeleteI have been away for most of the summer and just started up again with H or T. My post is up too.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have known any of those songs by name but maybe if I heard them.
