BEAUTY NEEDS NO TRANSLATION

I'll Remember You
Uploaded by elziebean100
This is the 13th of 13 parts uploaded by elziebean100 of the movie
Fried Green Tomatoes.
The story is based on the novel by Fannie Flagg.


Sometimes a song stands out in a movie. And
I'll Remember You does - written by Bob Dylan, performed by Grayson Hugh in the rolling credits of Fried Green Tomatoes. At 2:29 of the youtube video, the song begins.

Lyrics

I'll remember you
When I've forgotten all the rest,
You to me were true,
You to me were the best.
When there is no more,
You cut to the core
Quicker than anyone I knew.
When I'm all alone
In the great unknown,
I'll remember you.

I'll remember you
At the end of the trail,
I had so much left to do,
I had so little time to fail.
There's some people that
You don't forget,
Even though you've only seen'm
One time or two.
When the roses fade
And I'm in the shade,
I'll remember you.

Didn't I, didn't I try to love you?
Didn't I, didn't I try to care?
Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you
With the rain blowing in your hair?

I'll remember you
When the wind blows through the piney wood.
It was you who came right through,
It was you who understood.
Though I'd never say
That I done it the way
That you'd have liked me to.
In the end,
My dear sweet friend,
I'll remember you.



"Friend, don't be a perfectionist. Perfectionism is a curse and a strain. For you tremble lest you miss the bulls-eye. You are perfect if you let be. Friend don't be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are not sins. Mistakes are ways of doing something different, perhaps creatively new. Friend don't be sorry for your mistakes. be glad for them. You had the courage to give something of yourself. It takes years to be centered; it takes more years to understand and be NOW."
Frederick Perls

Working from his red timber farmhouse by Lake Leaf-Sea, where the farming land meets the forest in northern Sweden, using the harp, film, and the Macintosh to help people feel good about themselves.

THE TEMPTATIONS ~ A GIFT TO THE WORLD

The Temptations

I love so much about music. It is spiritual ~ it's beyond words. I have no idea how I found this group when I was growing up. My family never mentioned black people. And almost everything that was fun was a sin. But I have some of the records still of
The Temptations that I purchased decades ago. However, I never heard this song until I was moving through Youtube Temptation lovers tonight...

Lyrics

Sooooul mmmh..mmmh..mmmmmmh

Oh whoa whoa (soul to soul)

Picked some newspaper…At my feet

We go blowing down the street

Got out stories…old and new

Need someone to tell 'em to

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles (or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)

All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)

Oh… soul to soul (soul to soul)

Mmmmmh…


Like an album…On a shelf

Tired of talking to myself

Wishing somebody (somebody) passing by (passing by)

Would pick me up and look inside

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (or face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles… (miracles…or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart… (I don't need another heart…to have and hold)

All I want is a friend I can talk to (soul to soul)

soul to soul Oh… (soul to soul…soul to soul)

Mmmmmh…

Everyone needs someone to turn to

When they walk in their line (got to hold the line)

And we all need a friend we can cry to

And I'm out on the line (I'm on the line)

He..he..

It's been so long now…you know I need a li… Aaai,

Oh whoaaaa…whoaaaa…whoaaa..

Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

All I want is a friend I can talk to (woe woe woe woe soul to soul)

I just call and there you are (soul to soul)

Shining on me like a star (shining down)

Smiling in my direction in the night (oooooh oooooh oooooh)

And I feel your light yeah (oh oh soul to soul)

I'm feeling stronger now, so much stronger now (soul to soul)

Won't you shine a little longer, longer right now

I'm still holding the line (got to hold the line) yeah

Keep me holding the line

Oh oh my…

CHORUS

We don't have to be eye to eye (or meet face to face)

I'm not asking for miracles (or saving grace)

And I don't need another heart (to have and hold)

All I want is someone I can talk to (soul to soul)

Oh I need a friend right now

(sooooul to soul) *repeat in background till end of song

Someone I can talk to

I'm feeling lonely right now (right now baby)

I just need to know you're there anytime of the day and night

I need somebody who's willing to listen

Shining, shining, shining, shining so brightly right now

I feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders

So much soul

Does anyone hear me calling…
