Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics
“Sweet Dreams are Made of These” by The Eurythmics
“Sweet Cherry Wine” from Tommy James and the Shondells was a great drinkin’ song in high school for some reason...
But Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders (from Calgary eh) and Sweet Blindness by the Fifth Dimension featuring the wonderful voice of Marilyn McCoo get my vote.
And just to prove I’m not completely out of touch, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve is a standard from my spin classes.
I actually did not know the name of the band, but it is song everyone knows!
Sweet Chariot...
When a sudden change in technology made his job obsolete, a highly trained scientist found himself working in a fast-food restaurant. One evening after our Bible study he described the situation as difficult and humbling. He said, One good thing I can say is that the young people there seem very interested in my faith. A member of the group responded, I admire you for being humble. I know your faith must have something to do with it.
Like my acquaintance, Philip may have wondered why God would pull him off an assignment in Samaria (Acts 8:4-8) and plop him in the middle of the desert (v.26). But then he found that the Ethiopian needed help understanding the Scriptures (vv.27-35), and his place made sense.
When Jesus promised He would never leave us alone (Matt. 28:20; Heb. 13:5), He meant in the hard times as well as in the good times. Our mission in the difficult seasons of life is to work or serve remembering we are doing it for God, and then to watch as God works to accomplish His purposes.
Look for God in your difficult place and discover what Hes doing in and through you there.
Read: Acts 8:4-8,26-35

I'm not necessarily a fan, but I just LOVE her voice.
This was the flip side of "Brown Eyed Girl" which I bought on a 45 when I was 12 years old. Still have it too!
Sweet Cherry Wine by Tommy James and the Shondells.
I had never heard that one before. “Brown-Eyed Girl” got a lot of airplay on Boss Radio KHJ in 1967.

Behind the mystic music: Van the Man
A Christian interpretation of the lyrics:
We were born before the wind Adam was created or born before the wind, which came about after his fall from grace, when the world received its curse.
Also younger than the sun The sun was made on the fourth day of creation, Adam on the sixth.
Ere the bonnie boat was one/As we sailed into the mystic According to one interpretation of the traditional Irish Skye Boat Song, the line Carry the lad that is born to be king refers to the Christ child; thus, believers were one with Christ as they sailed on the bonnie boat into the mystic, or wondrous life.
Hark, now hear the sailors cry Man has fallen, everything has changed, he feels cold, all is not well. The people who are sailing through time cry out in agony.
Smell the sea and feel the sky There was no rain before the fall. Streams came up from the Earth and watered the ground, but now man could feel the rain from the sky and smell the now-raging sea.
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic Fallen man is doomed to an eternal life apart from God unless Gods grace is received, letting his soul and spirit fly to the mystic.
And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home The Bible states: The Lord himself will come down from heaven with the trumpet call (fog horn) of God.
I want to hear it, I dont have to fear it Welcoming the call to come home to Christ.
I want to rock your gypsy soul/Just like way back in the days of old Enjoy life as intended, in the days of old before the fall.
Then magnificently we will float, into the mystic Float those raging seas, now calmed; the perfectly wonderful life with our bonnie boat continues.
