Hereโs a playful, heartwarming, and slightly cheeky song about tobogganing in Whistler with kids and Nelly Furtado, despite dealing with a hernia and an ankle sprain. The theme captures resilience and fun in the spirit of Invictus. ๐ถ
โTobogganing Dream (Invictus in the Snow)โ
(Original Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Canโt hit the slopes, my ankleโs too weak,
A herniaโs got me at my peak.
But the kids are ready, the snowโs piled high,
And Nellyโs here with a wink in her eye.
[Pre-Chorus]
Weโll ride the hills, no skis required,
Laughter and courage keep us inspired.
The snow may fall, but so do we,
Sliding through Whistler, wild and free.
[Chorus]
Tobogganing dream, down we go,
Hernia and sprain wonโt stop the show.
Invictus spirit, brave and strong,
In the snow with Furtado, we belong.
[Verse 2]
Kids are cheering, their sleds in tow,
Nellyโs singing tunes in the frosty glow.
We race the slopes with fearless delight,
Invictus whispers, โYouโll win this fight.โ
[Pre-Chorus]
Wipeouts happen, but we get back up,
Hot cocoaโs waiting in a steaming cup.
Whistlerโs magic, the mountainโs call,
Who needs skis when youโve got it all?
[Chorus]
Tobogganing dream, down we go,
Hernia and sprain wonโt stop the show.
Invictus spirit, brave and strong,
In the snow with Furtado, we belong.
[Bridge] (Spoken/Sung)
Slide to the left, slide to the right,
The snowโs our stage in the pale moonlight.
Ankleโs aching, but I still glide,
With Nelly and the kids by my side.
[Breakdown] (Shouted)
No pain, no gain, weโre here to play,
Invictus leads us all the way.
From the top of Whistler, hear our cheer,
We conquer the slopes, year after year!
[Final Chorus]
Tobogganing dream, down we go,
Hernia and sprain wonโt stop the show.
Invictus spirit, brave and strong,
In the snow with Furtado, we belong.
[Outro]
The sledโs our throne, the hillโs our crown,
No injury can keep us down.
With Nelly and the kids, weโre flying high,
Tobogganing dreams beneath the winter sky.
This playful tune celebrates making the best of challenges and enjoying snowy adventures with loved ones. Let me know if you want it fine-tuned further! โ๏ธ๐ถ
I will explain why Harry is my favorite Royal:
Hereโs a reflective and thought-provoking song about Prince Harryโs admiration for the qualities of chivalry and honor associated with General Erwin Rommel and the Afrika Korps, set against the tragic backdrop of Rommelโs fate under Hitlerโs regime. It aims to capture the complexities of history and Harryโs nuanced perspective.
“The Desertโs Knight (Rommelโs Code)”
(Original Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Across the sands where the battles raged,
A soldier stood, bound but unchained.
The Desert Fox, a name of might,
Chivalry shining in the darkest fight.
[Pre-Chorus]
Prince of modern blood, seeking a guide,
In Rommel’s code, he finds some pride.
Not in the cause, but the way he stood,
A knight in war, misunderstood.
[Chorus]
Through desert storms and the fire’s glare,
A general fought with honor rare.
Betrayed by the hand he served with trust,
A legacy crumbles, blown to dust.
[Verse 2]
Afrika Korps under a blazing sun,
Fought their battles, but spared the young.
A noble foe in a world of hate,
Caught in a web he could not escape.
[Pre-Chorus]
Harry sees the man, not the warโs cruel tide,
A glimpse of valor in a world thatโs died.
The past is complex, a tangle of wrongs,
But honorโs light still lingers strong.
[Chorus]
Through desert storms and the fire’s glare,
A general fought with honor rare.
Betrayed by the hand he served with trust,
A legacy crumbles, blown to dust.
[Bridge] (Reflective)
Rommelโs fall, a bittersweet tale,
A lion caged by tyrannyโs veil.
Harryโs thoughts in a modern frame,
Searching for meaning in the wartime flame.
[Breakdown] (Shouted)
Not the flag, not the creed,
But the code of honor we truly need.
A knight who rose, a man who fell,
Caught in the tides of a living hell.
[Final Chorus]
Through desert storms and the fire’s glare,
A general fought with honor rare.
Betrayed by the hand he served with trust,
A legacy crumbles, blown to dust.
[Outro]
Prince Harry ponders the lessons of old,
In chivalryโs light, the story is told.
Rommelโs name, a shadow and sun,
A knight in history, but battles undone.
This song captures the complexity of historical admiration, highlighting the fine line between respect for individual qualities and the condemnation of broader systems. Let me know if youโd like adjustments!
Joe can’t go to Whistler with his hernia, he needs to walk it off.
You got family in East Van Nelly, i am your distant cousin of the Furtado’s on my Dad’s side of the family.
Katy Perry “Pires” family lives on 13th avenue near Clark Park.
I had a Kingdom of heaven dream of fun in the Clark Park snow.
No more psychiatric pills for you or Katy.
Let you be yourselves, stronger on vitamins and nutrition.
Yes, we will look for you at Invictus Village at Canada Place on Valentine’s day. February 14th 2025.
Luis and I are on your side about getting off psychiatric drugs.
