ROCK Team - "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young 

Come sit beside me, my only son 

And listen closely to what I say. 

And if you do this 

It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah! 

Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast, 

Troubles will come and they will pass. 

You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love, 

And don't forget son, 

There is someone up above. 

(Chorus) 

And be a simple, kind of man. 

Oh be something, you love and understand. 

Baby be a simple, kind of man. 

Oh, won't you do this for me son, 

If you can? 

Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold 

All that you need, is in your soul, 

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. 

All that I want for you my son, 

Is to be satisfied. 

(Chorus) 

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. 

Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else. 

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. 

All that I want for you my son, 

Is to be satisfied. 

(Chorus) 

Baby be a simple, be a simple man. 

Oh be something, you love and understand. 

Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)

My son was a little afraid to go down a slide... But at last, he did it! Accidental, I made 2 pictures of it, which (almost) fit at eachother.. So a little special effect in this LO.

KICKA

   I used the words sunny day  in my title.


Melania

I used sunny day for this beautiful pics taken on LaKe Ontario.

Karen

I used the Lyric these clouds for a picture of my son playing cricket in the pouring rain.


Astrid

Hi, hope you enjoy our challenges so far ! At least I have fun creating with all those great pop songs ! For this one I used the lyric; Happy wherever you are ! For a little funny twist (and because I didn't had any letter "p" on my sticker sheet) I used the letter "q"

Anna

I didn't know the song but I loved it right away...especially the lyrics, because they really spoke to me. In fact, I'm about to move to a new country and there are so many things I hope this new adventure will bring me...I therefore decided to use a picture of the city I'm moving to (Bern, Switzerland) and to write the chorus of the song. Hopefully this layout will bring me luck! ;)

Xara

I was inspired by the title of the song and the meaning that you are looking for something.. so I titled my page "I hope you find happiness,love,joy...." and I really hope my baby brother finds them .... 

And now the Lo of our Guest Designer....

 JANE

I used some words of the text to evidence my youth memories.

Tynke

I used the phrase "Count your blessing" This is a pic of my son, born 11 weeks before and he was back then a very little one.. Now, 5 years later, he is a healthy big boy, so I count my blessings with him! 


Kicka

Io

MICAELA

These are the words of the beautiful song of Pink that have inspired me:
"You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around..."

Pop Team- One Direction Little Things

Hi Ladies

Its my turn to choose a song for the Pop Girls. Our February theme is Love being Valentines so it has to be a Love song. My daughter adores One Direction and so I have selected one of their songs the lyrics reflect the idea that it is the little things that we love about the people we love. for my LO I have taken the line about "connecting up the dots with the freckles on your face" and made a LO that shows my daughter's freckles. 

What little things do you love about your favourite people?

Karen

Kristin

 

 I was so in love with the title of this song because it could mean sooo many things to so many people ...love that!!! In this picture I am sharing my frozen lemonade with my little one inline at Disneyland ...so much fun ...it is just the little things in life!!!

Here are some more pictures of this page on my blog:

Anna

The lyrics of this song made me think of my boyfriend and I. I truly believe that little things are what makes a relationship a good one. Little things such as sharing the everyday life and common interests and passions, like road trips in our case. I therefore made this layout with a picture of us and the itinerary we followed during our last vacation.

Astrid

I used the word "love" from this song and use a photo of my hubby and I on our weddingday in 2011.

Karen

Deanne

Since this was a love song, I went with a Valentine's Day card.

There are also "freckles" on her cheeks :O)

Xara

I got inspired by the title of the song " little things " which reminded me of the phrase " it's the little things that count " ... so I created a page about my favorite activity ... cycling by the sea!!!! 

Doreen

Created a layout about my new $12.99 cat top and how it makes me smile...which goes to show

that sometimes it's the "Little Things" in life that make us happy!

 

And our Guest Designer Rita 

And now our winner is.....
