Hi everybody! 🙂
Recently Tina Turner passed away. She was an incredible and legendary artist and person. May she rest in peace and my condolences are with all her loved ones at this very sad time. Here are five videos from the amazing Tina Turner.
Music
First up we have the music video for On Silent Wings from Tina Turner’s YouTube channel. Tina’s vocal is so beautiful on this track and it is a wonderful song. The music video is great and works so well with the message of the song.
Next up we have the music video for a really gorgeous song Something Beautiful Remains also from Tina Turner’s YouTube channel. The lyrics are just so relatable and Tina’s vocal adds so much depth to the lyrics. An amazing music video.
I love lots of Tina’s songs but Nutbush City Limits is probably my favourite. I have a lot of memories of dancing to this as a child, teenager and adult. I adore the attitude and storytelling in Tina’s vocal and the song is very storytelling too. This is the music video for the 90s version and shows many moments from Tina’s career. Love it. The video is also from Tina Turner’s YouTube channel.
Here is an amazing live performance by Tina, her dancers and backing singers from 2009 of Proud Mary. It is epic and really fun. The video comes from Theravenphoenix665’s YouTube channel.
Finally here is another amazing live performance by Tina and her band to Addicted To Love. Incredible. The video comes from DucatiNeiderlande’s YouTube channel.
Poem: Mostly Sunny
The computer says mostly sunny,
oh how beautiful,
not something one sees in Ireland ofen
even in Summer,
Summer is usually just Summer by name
but no this year is stunningly sunny,
time to take the sun hats out from the back of the closet
or purchase that new Panama hat,
get some ice in a drink
and sit out the front,
have a nice day at the beach,
too much sun though I may have to go back inside,
I’m not used to mostly sunny.
