Alicia Bay Laurel - Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream - sung in Japanese and in English



Alicia Bay Laurel performs - "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream," a visionary peace song written by Ed McCurdy in the late 1940s, along with a translation of the lyrics into Japanese created by singer/songwriter Maiko Kodama in 2013. Alicia is offering this video in hope that many people will learn this song and join her in singing it on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the first atomic bombing of a human community, August 5, 2015, in Hiroshima, Japan. She is hoping to have the event live-streaming on the Internet so that people can attend from wherever they are. The lyrics in both languages, including a phonetic rendering of the Japanese lyrics for English speakers, plus a guitar chord chart, are at http://www.aliciabaylaurel.com/LastNi...

Wonderful... my tricky mind saw the title and played my memory of
Astrud Gilberto (my infatuation as a teen) singing "I Had The Craziest Dream"...

Ah well, peace AND love - life long pursuits, though perhaps in reverse order chronologically. Blessed are those can hold on to both...or who see that they are two sides of the same coin?

I guess we have been so lucky to not recently have wars in our parts of the neck of the wood. As in 70 plus years. Not bad for this so-called humanity. M
