I was sending emails to one of the originators of the music threads here to give her suggestions for new topics, and she told me to just post the topics myself. For a while, we alternated starting these threads, and then she decided not to post here anymore, which left me as pretty much the main person initiating the threads. She had kept a list or topics, including proposed ones, and emailed that to me when she decided to stop participating. EltonJohnDenver also started quite a few, and then she seemed to stop posting here as well, although I have no idea why. As I said earlier, this all started on Hot Topics, and the threads were always started early Friday evening by whoever happened to have an idea for a new theme. There were a lot of disparate people posting on that forum before it got banned (for contentiousness), and a larger percentage of them were men, compared to KT. I started posting FNM earlier in the day so that people would have more time to post videos while it was still Friday, but since the threads usually lasted through Saturday and Sunday, I started calling it Weekend Music instead but kept the acronym for archival purposes. A couple of times I did not post anything on Friday, and some people seemed disappointed, and so I decided to keep it up. I don't in any way own this topic, and so anyone is free to take it over. Carol, no one has posted those songs before, although I had thought that someone had posted the Kinks song, as it was one that I had also thought up - but neglected to post. I guess I will start Part III now - I did not expect this to get this far.

Technically, I only added "look for", meaning to search. We had "look" in Sept 2022 for the "See, Look, Eyes, Vision" topic. Feel free to use "Look" as a key word with the meaning "search" or "hunt". This could include "look through", "look at", and "look around", but "the look of..." is a bit of a stretch IMO. The topic is based on Easter egg hunts! Originally, I thought this topic would be easy because I immediately thought of several songs, but then I had trouble thinking of additional songs, and so it wasn't as easy as I had thought at first.

(Hard to find much on this — ) BROKEN GLASS (Claudia Schmidt) I was walking through the broken glass last night and thought of you, and I wondered where your reckless ways had brought you to? My memories of you whorled me back to boilin' blood and wrath, and I wonder if you've stumbled on a lighter path? Did you go out to the desert with the sun hot overhead? Did the dry and the dusty heat make you wish you were dead? Or, did the stark and the open spaces ease your urge to roam? Did it make you feel at last like you were home? Or, did you go out to the woods where the silver poplars sing? Did the quiet rustlin' take away the city's sting? Did the white birds like suspended lightning strike the autumn glow, and touch your heart with tenderness so you could grow? I was walking through the broken glass last night and thought of you, and I wondered where your reckless ways had brought you to? A fiery mass of untapped power surgin' in your breast, I hope it found its way outside so you could rest! Or, did you go up to the mountains where the air is clear and cold? Did they give you back your tears; save you from growing old? As hands and feet fought gravity all up the ancient wall, I wonder, did you lose your ancient urge to fall? The last time I saw you, you were strung dangerously high. All your movements stiff and frightened and you could not cry; suspicious of an honest mile, and looking for a fight; the lonesome street your home, your only friend the night. Now, wherever you may be tonight, I hope you're pleased and calm; that the air around you soothes you like a holy balm; that your lonely anger hasn't turned your insides inside out; that you found the place some of us still dream about. I was dancing through the broken glass last night and thought of you, and I wondered where your reckless ways had brought you to? All my memories of you whorled me back to boilin' blood and wrath, and I wonder if you've stumbled on a lighter path? Oh I hope, perhaps, you have stumbled on a lighter path! And, a live performance at a small venue (accoustics of that venue are lousy, but Claudia’s spirit is strong. I love this song and it played a lot in the early 1980s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdmp_XuSC00

This is one of the first songs I thought of - apparently lots of songs from Fred & Ginger movies with 'let' in the title 😃
