I was supposed to spend the last weekend in Vienna. Unfortunately, plans changed a few hours before we wanted to leave due to my husband’s positive Corona test (he is fine, no worries). However, since I expected not to have the time for writing my regular posts, I scheduled another week of my #HitsByYears” series. You may not find the most popular songs of that year like “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics, “Holiday” by Madonna, or “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel. Instead, I tried to dig out some songs we loved but which we may have a bit forgotten over the past almost 40 decades (what? 40? 😱). Enjoy the trip back to another great year of music:
Owner of a Lonely Heart – Yes
Flesh For Fantasy – Billy Idol
Feel free to add or mention in the comments your favorite song of 1983 and the memory that connects you with it.

Both great songs and a great video from Yes.. Glad all is well.

Thank you very much, Holly. He doesn’t have any symptoms. He had a headache 8 days ago for a few hours and that was it. The test he did then was negative. So, we were surprised that he was positive when we tested for the trip… thank God we did the testing! Thank you and you stay safe too, dear Holly💖

I’m so glad to hear he is ok. I’m doing my best to stay well, one in ten people in Florida are testing positive for Covid. Hoping to see the light at the end of this tunnel soon 💖

Glad your husband is okay, Erika. This virus is nasty with a capital N! Great choices of tunes!

Yes, it is. But even more I am glad about being fully vaccinated (3 times). I am sure it helped him almost not recognizing the infection and me and my son not catching it at all.
Now this is the first of my favorite four 80s years of music… whoop whoop!

He is doing fine. My husband is triple vaccinated and only had a headache for a few hours in the beginning. Today is his last day in prison… lol.
MJ always works for me too… hehe.

Yes made a comeback with this song. They were an underappreciated band in my view. Keith

Glad to hear hubby is ok Erika, they say the latest virus gives you a great singing voice. I’m thinking of going out and catching it, mine needs all the help it can get 😂 🤣
Thanks for the going back in time too, haven’t heard either of these in a long time 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Mark, in that case, I would suggest you are keeping the voice you have instead of risking an infection… lol. But I will check my husband’s voice and let you know 😂

😂 I do jest, if I caught the virus I’d probably turn into a toad 🤣. I actually found an amazing thing though, as our healing in this life progresses our voice changes. On the day I understood my fear my voice deepened and ‘smoothed’ (if there is such a thing 😀). I also found, and this is with humans and animals, that I speak using a certain ‘tone’ which varies slightly depending on the person/animal during my interactions. Even my little magpie friends are ‘toning’ back to me now. So we must become that balance when we heal, in many ways 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Oh, yes, the more at peace we are, the lower the voice becomes and the warmer it feels. The more agitated or angry someone is, the higher the voice becomes. Also, you are taken more serious when the voice is lower, right because, you vibrate more solidity. That’s why I tried to lower may voice towards the kids when I got angry. They listened better… lol

I don’t recall the Billy Idol song, but what a classic the ‘Yes’ song is.
I hope your husband is out of isolation soon, Erika. I guess you’ll rebook your trip to Vienna?
Have a great week.

Oh, yes, the YES song is a real classic, I have not heard it in years.
Thank you, yes, he will be released tomorrow. We planned to surprise my nephew for his 19th birthday. So, now even we were surprised. That visit is definitely only postponed. I have not been at home for more than two years.
Thank you, and you have a great one too, Hugh!
