When It All Goes Wrong

LOCATION: Everywhere , Riverview, Florida

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: The Shirelles, Mama, words of wisdom

PUBLISHED: April 8, 2008

I don’t have to actually hearing it playing, because this song plays in my mind on days when it all goes wrong.  I first heard it in 1962 when the Shirelles were hot and they were putting out hit after hit.  I personally like everything they did and have many of their best in my collection.  This song holds a personal spot in my heart and soul for the simple reason that I lost my mother in 1960, but I can still hear her voice telling me, just like the song say, there’d be days like this
 When everything I do seems to be wrong or everyone I count on fails me or the load gets too heavy I can hear he softly saying, “Don’t worry tomorrow will be a better day.”
 There are days too when all seems right with the world or everyone seems eager to please me or I just know I couldn’t be happier and I hear her cautioning softly, “Don’t get too wrapped up in you.  Look around to see who needs your help today.”
 Oh, I know the song is about loving and all that, but for me the title says it all.  Mama said and although it may not have seemed like it at the time I heard every word she said.  And the best part is, she was right—there are good days and bad days, but they are all a part of life and living it to the fullest.
