5 on Friday - Set 32

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

At my sister's wedding last weekend, she walked down the outdoor aisle to the strains of a string version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

The weather was a mix of everything on her wedding day - a bit of sun, a bit of drizzle, a bit more sun. Nothing to make them relocate the outdoor ceremony - but all the ingredients for a spectacular double rainbow later in the day.



I'm repeating this shot which I posted yesterday, just because it's so crazy incredible.

For more wedding fun, scroll down to Thursday Thirteen.

For today's 5 on Friday, I salute all things rainbow.



1 - Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Tomis String Quartet



2 - Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows - Lesley Gore

When you're near the
Rain cloud disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine

My life is
Sunshine, lollipops and
Rainbows
That's how this re-
Frain goes
So come on join in
Everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and
Rainbows
Everything that's
Wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay

- Hamlisch / Liebling



3 - A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow - Mitch and Mickey

Mitch and Mickey are a fictional folk duo from the film A Mighty Wind by Christopher Guest. The song is performed by actors Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara.

In tales of ancient glory
Every knight and maiden fair
Shall be joined when the quest is over
And a kiss is the oath that they swear

- McKean / O'Toole



4 - She's a Rainbow - The Rolling Stones

Have you seen her dressed in blue
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen the lady fairer?

- Jagger / Richards



5 - Silver Rainbow - Genesis

This song is off an album that my sister and I used to listen to constantly while driving along the seaside, when we were both in our late teens/early 20's.

But if you're sitting there beside her
And a bear comes in the room
And you keep on going cause you're unaware
Ooo, then you'll know that you are there

Beyond the silver rainbow
You won't know if you're coming or going

- Banks / Collins / Rutherford
