The Power of Words Put together in just the right way, words can make us feel strong emotions of all sorts.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is “the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. ” Mark Twain

Listen to the following songs and read their lyrics 1. What feeling do the lyrics bring up in you? 2. Determine which words / images work most effectively to evoke these feelings.

The Sunny Side of the Street 1961 Grab your coat and get your hat Leave your worries on the doorstep. Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street Can't you hear the pitter-pat And that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade But I'm not afraid. . . this rover’s crossed over If I never have a cent I‘ll be rich as Rockefeller Gold dust at my feet On the sunny side of the street (Instrumental) I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade But I'm not afraid. . . this rover crossed over And if I never have a cent I? ll still be rich as Rockefeller Goldust at my feet On the sunny, sunny side of the street

Rainy Days And Mondays Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothing ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. 1971 Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me. What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
