This week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt from Linda G. Hill invites us to “use the phrase ‘in other words’ at least once in your post.”
I typically use that phrase when I feel that I haven’t explained something adequately. Or when I can tell that the person I’m talking with doesn’t quite understand what I’ve just said. So I’ll try to say it in a different way, starting out with “In other words….”
But as I was writing my response to Linda’s prompt, I unconsciously found myself humming the 1964 Frank Sinatra song (written by Bart Howard), “Fly Me To The Moon.”
At first I wasn’t sure why that song popped into my head, but then I started thinking about the lyrics and realized that the phrase “in other words” is sung over and over again throughout the song.
That’s when I decided, mid-stream of consciousness, so to speak, to post a video of Frank Sinatra’s rendition of “Fly Me To The Moon.”
Enjoy!
Aw, come on, Sensei.

Funny. The moment you said that, I got the same song … I actually love that song. It was the final song in “Space Cowboys,” too.

I had the same tune stuck in my head, when I saw the prompt.

It’s a natural song for “In other words.”

In other words, take my hand. In other words, hold me tight.
I was listening to some crooner radio on NPR just last night. It’s incredible how much new music is coming out, all of it fantastic.
Enjoyed the post, Fandango, as always.
