Sunrise

Rate: 13 Flag

 

We happened to have a beautiful sunrise here this morning at our house in upstate New York, although now it is a cloudy day...

 

SUNRISE 2

 

 SUNRISE 1

 

 

A few years ago I came across this great live version of Simply Red's Sunrise which was performed in Sicily, Italy in 2003. One of the things that intrigues me about this song is how they sampled Hall & Oates classic song I Can't Go For That and worked it into their own composition. If you have never heard the song before I bet you'll like it!

 

 

 

 

The original Hall & Oates song I Can't Go For That:

Sunrises and their counterpart in the evening are some of the miracles of living on this planet. Thanks for sharing music that I have not heard before.

Very, very pretty. Sunrise could well be my favorite part of the day, if only it wasn't so damn early! "I can't go for that, no can do." :)

I like the photos, and am chuckling over, "Sicily, Italy."

Wow...thank you all so much for the wonderful outpouring of great comments on the post!! The sunrise started my day on a positive note and your comments sustained that feeling all day long!

@Diana, great point about Sicily...Italy was added for any newbies to the OS site who might be geographically challenged and might be thinking Little Caesar's Pizza at the mention of Sicily..."Pizza! Pizza!"
