Song-Lyric Inspired Memes

Music, particularly song lyrics — musicals, recordings, live performances, it makes no never mind — has influenced my life.


I watch TV advertorials of oldies collections, I have many “Best of” DVDs and Blu-Rays, and ‘way back when record players were in vogue, I bought LP records. When 8-track and cassette tapes appeared, I bought them.


It’s not just the music, but the lyrics as well that move me. And, many lyrics (or at least fragments and phrases) are indelibly etched in my aging, faltering memory. In recent years, I started creating memes to use on Facebook. But you know that. One theme that arises in my posts is the utilization of song lyrics that emphasize my life philosophies and/or emotional feelings at the time.


May I share some with you?
