Song Adaptation

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 1:42 pm

Sinatra's "Three Coins in the Fountain" … Adapted —

From Didion’s Play It As It Lays :

Everything goes.  I am working very hard at
not thinking about how everything goes. 
I watch a hummingbird, throw the I Ching
but never read the coins, keep my mind in the now.
— Page 8

From Play It As It Lays :

I lie here in the sunlight, watch the hummingbird. 
This morning I threw the coins in the swimming pool,
and they gleamed and turned in the water in such a way
that I was almost moved to read them.  I refrained.

A purely visual version of Didion's three coins —

And then there is an adaptation of a Michael Jackson song

"I'm looking at the dog in the mirror."
