Life, the Universe and Everything Playlist
"Somewhere over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo
Previously in Café 42: Music is a very important thing in my life, essential even. Indeed, within the last year, I’ve discovered that music has the power to shift my vibrational state, to open wide my imagination gates, to realign my energy, to allow my body to dance and my soul to sing. This is why, when I decided to create Café 42, I wanted to share a playlist of my most significant songs with my community, like a life’s soundtrack.
My dear beloved regulars,
I hadn’t heard that song in a while when it popped up a few days ago in a TV series, as it is very regularly used to illustrate emotional scenes on TV. Indeed, the first time I heard "Somewhere over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo was in “ER” TV Show some twenty-five years ago in the episode in which Dr Greene dies of a brain tumor in a Hawaiian house he had chosen to retire in until he dies. I loved that show and I used to call my best friend at the time to discuss the episodes we had just watched once they were over; I remember us sobbing a lot on the phone that night! Fortunately for us, they hadn’t killed Dr Carter yet! We couldn’t have emotionally absorbed both in one season!
I’ve always been very attached to series’ characters - My mom told me once that I used to say that TV was my best friend when I was a kid -, some are still part of my inner family for we have lived such beautiful and inspiring adventures together and some even helped me find the person I wanted to be…
Back to the song, when I heard it again a few days ago without really focusing on it, my attention was caught by the words “blue birds fly” and it reminded me of the Blue Humming Birds my guides sent me a while ago and I thought this would be a great acurate song to add to Café 42’s Life, the Universe and Everything Playlist!
And of course, there are the rainbows…
