Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

This Saturday, as we leave winter behind and enter spring, is Persian New Year: Norooz. Norooz holidays are best chances to see rainbows in Iran. Happy New Year and May your next year be full of joy and beauty and rainbows.





"Over the Rainbow"
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyric by E.Y. Young
I love Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version of this song.


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?


... And Latter Days : a movie about being religious and being gay. It has a beautiful trailer.
