June in Janet's World - Song Lyric Sunday - Who, What, When, Where

Jim Adams has chosen the good reporter's questions, Who, What, When, Where, Why and How as our theme for today.  So many possibilities!

This reminds me of when we were raising the kids.  If they wanted to go somewhere with their friends, we always told them not to bother asking us if they couldn't answer the questions:  Who were they going with?   What were they going to do?    When were they going to be home?  Where were they going?  How were they getting there?  The Why was kind of obvious - to get away from their parents who asked too many questions - LOL. 

I wanted to use a song by Adele off her "25" album, "Why Do You Love Me?" but it seems there is no video for it.  It was a bonus track on that album, available only if you bought it from Target.  It is a really catchy tune and if you get a chance you should try and have a listen somewhere.   

So I decided to go with "Where Or When" written by Rogers and Hart, as sung by Rod Stewart on his "As Time Goes By" album.  He did a series of oldies called "The Great American Songbook" and this is on Volume II.  Quite a departure from his normal rock.  We've seen Rod a couple of times and I always have to check the setlist before my husband will go because this style is not his cup of tea.

Where or When
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
Who knows where or when

 From a show my daughter and I saw in 2009:



From the "Heart and Soul" tour he did with Stevie Nicks in 2011.  


His autobiography is pretty interesting too.  He spent a lot of time on his hair!


That's all I got for today.  Make sure to check out some of the other #SLS gang.  Pretty great songs out there.  Happy last day of June.  What am I gonna call the blog next month?
