I say a little prayer on an open thread

32

This one is from America.

Dionne Warwick, Dionne Warwick’s 1967 single I Say A Little Prayer was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and recorded at A&R Studios in Manhattan in June 1966. Engineering the recording was the legendary Phil Ramone who would later produce Billy Joel and many others. Bacharach arranged, conducts and is on piano. T This is the rare unedited version in which Burt Bacharach can be heard on count off.

“…getting into Dionne Warwick is like finding buried treasure. The Bacharach/David repertoire which milady chooses to sing is so fascinatingly cynical / fatalistic / stoical / emotional / happy, simultaneously! It’s pure emotion…..she’s beautiful. Dionne, paired with Bacharach’s string/horn/reed arrangements, comes up as a lyric mezzo-sopranoid par-excellence, melodious/expressiveness-wise. If you’ve never gotten into her, you ought to. Get hep to Dionne Warwick. For your own sake.”

Pam indicates by her choice that she is an adult woman. Regularly. One question arises: If she had rather
been born an Afro-American, what fascinates her so much about these artists she adores? I tell you: as a

Zionist she is Bacharach, but not Warwick. Logic: “what Bacharach did, we love too.” I would be interested
to know what Pamela would finally love when Israel (purely hypothetically!) has perished and destroyed.

Paul Simon for example sought his musical boundaries
far away from Israel or any ordinary American Judaism,
which is why the world loved & worshipped him so much.

Will we one day get a music tip from her that nobody

expects? How about Jewish Philip Glass Minimalism?

My explanation is: Pam is just a woman. Whoever expects earth-moving or -shattering eruptions here is wrong. Is that her fault? Of course not. We all thus document our ordinary constancy. But Pam is a curious woman who likes to wait for suggestions of all kinds. And that’s woman’s nature!

It appears that your most egregious fault is a very disgusting streak of antisemitism. Oh well, maybe that “black mark” is incurable.

That too. What you think you “recognize” in
the world arises from your own narcissism
and your negative self-image, sweetheart.

How can a narcissist have a “negative self-image?”

My time is limited, heartbreaking sweety, if you want another

Narcissists have a false self-
image, but not a positive one.

I already said my “little prayer” above. So
there is no other reason to spend my day
here. You can listen to music on Youtube.

This is an open letter to Marc, who is, IMHO, a total jerk!! And Pamela, how on earth can you waste so much time in the comments section on these narcissistic remarks?!? Actually, Marc’s only contribution tonight has been to annoy me (and, no doubt, others!) but contribute ZERO/NADA/NOTHING to the discussion of the wonderful Dionne Warwick! I’m guessing, too, that Pamela has more talent and more smarts in her little finger than Marc in his whole damn bloated body!!

Marc is German, social skills aren’t his strong point.

Well, I’ve known lots of very nice – even charming! – Germans, and none of them lacked in the “social skills” dept! But there’s always that “exception” that proves/tests the rule!

explained the word “charm” to you? Ob-

you “sweet charming angel”, you. LOL

PS: Since when do you write an open letter in the third person?
Did you sleep in English class? A letter is always sent directly to
the addressee. Unless you suffer from intrapersonal dyscalculia,
a form of psychosis, you “joy of life”.

I understand that your first language is not English. Enough said. BTW, there is no particular form for an “open letter;” it’s just s letter addressed to “the group,” but including a particular name in the address line (or even in the body of the letter) does not detract from the “open letter” aspect of it. I just wanted everyone to know about whom I was speaking. And in case you missed it, I avoided addressing you directly – at least in what I dubbed an “open letter!” Anyway, I would suggest that my formal education included more English classes in an English-speaking country than you experienced elsewhere. Anyway, even if I “slept through” every English class I took, I got more out of them that you did from yours…. Or maybe my head is just screwed on a bit tighter…..

I doubt it, freaky “Joy of Charm”. It looks more like a
typical attention deficit to me, you beg for attention.
Well, now you’ve got it and you can go back to bed.

A little projection there, Mark, re “begging for attention?” And about that “charm” business: You wouldn’t know it if it hit you in the face!!

Have I sent you an “open letter” full of idiotic out-

…but this was by far the funniest “open letter” I have ever had
as a psychologist in my office! You seem to be in a permanent
catastrophic mode of an irritated psyche, Joyy Daniels Brower.

Thanks Pamela…this song is from America to America which needs all the prayers it can get. This is music that is soothing and melodic compared to what comes from so many degenerate and annoying singers of today.
