This gorgeous creature was sculpted by some "sand artist" in Naxos, Greece - I have no idea who, but I simply had to get the photo.
The title of this post is a reference to a Neil Young song where he sings "Hello cowgirl in the sand" (I don't remember which album or even which song...!). I saw Neil Young live in Helsinki several years ago - it was by far the best rock concert I've ever seen!!! I've seen lots of artists like Madonna and The Rolling Stones (at Wembley Stadium in London!) who have a lot of props and back-up dancers and what-not. Those are OK, but there was something simply magical about the combination of a big stadium and a guy wearing jeans, a T-shirt and looking like he hadn't washed his hair in a week. He's such a good performer that the audience was just spell-bound. He didn't need anything - just a guitar and a mike and he had a whole stadium full of people hanging from his every word and every note. Amazing concert!
This mermaid reminds me of another old Madonna song: Cherish - and only because of the video!
Cherish, cherish!
So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I'll take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
You are my destiny
I can't let go -- baby, can't you see?
Cupid please take your aim at me
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it
Cherish the strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would
I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love
That's the way it's got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it
Cherish the strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would
Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you
Who? You! I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love
Keep giving it, keep giving it to me
Boy keep giving me all, all of your joy
Give me faith -- I will always cherish you
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view
Give me faith, give me joy, my boy
I will always cherish you
