Music Quotes That Move Me ( and Probably Move You Too!)

Once upon a time, there was a community on the Google Plus social network for music lovers and they have a category for “Music Quotes”. It was fun!

You share lyrics or quotes from a song that moves or touches you. Doesn't matter whether you're a fan of the artists who are singing or even if you don't really like the song, sometimes certain words strike you.

Sadly, the community no longer exists and also Google plans to shut down the G+ social network during 2019.

I love the idea of sharing music quotes that move me. Here's an example. In this example, I also have great respect and admiration for the artist performing. Loyal Tina Turner fan. This a throwback song from the soundtrack for Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985).

LYRICS / QUOTES: “There's just one thing you've got to know ... You're one of the living.”

Google Plus Community for Movie Lovers (Especially Foreign Films)

My definition of “foreign movies” means non-English speaking with English subtitles.

I heart foreign movies and am always searching for the educational and entertaining treasures to be found by viewing foreign cinema. One of the places to find some really good suggestions to add to my watch list is in a Google Plus Community for Movie Lovers. Joined this community in 2013.

Reviewing my community contributions from 2013 to 2017 reveals an interesting variety when it comes to my taste in movies and yes ... before you say it ... some of the movies are not foreign. So glad that this community is still active, still available to the public, and currently boasts over 10,000 members. Here's a recap of some of my shares.

(Sep 2013) “'The Manchurian Candidate' with the Late Frank Sinatra is now a classic and worthy of this distinction. The remake with Denzel Washington? Yeah! I have an opinion.”

(Oct 2014) Must reshare as we just lost this inimitable talent, actor and comedian, Jerry Lewis (1926 -2017), who I will always fondly remember as “The Nutty Professor”.

“-The remakes of this old comedy starring #EddieMurphy were not as good as the original. #myopinion”
