On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you
The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
The song "Blueberry Hill" was originally written in 1940 by Vincent Rose, Larry Stock, and Al Lewis. However, it wasn't until Fats Domino's rendition in 1956 that the song became a massive hit, reaching number two on the Billboard pop charts and becoming a signature song for the musician.
The song's lyrics tell the story of a person finding their happiness, or "thrill," on Blueberry Hill when they fell in love with someone they met there. The idea of Blueberry Hill as a romantic destination gives the song an air of nostalgia - a longing for a simpler time and place.
The line "The moon stood still" is a metaphor for the wonder and excitement that the singer feels as they fall in love. The image of the moon not moving is meant to convey the idea that time seemed to stand still as they experienced this magical moment.
The second verse, "The wind in the willow played/Love's sweet melody/But all of those vows you made/Were never to be" and the repeating phrase "Though we're apart/You're part of me still" suggest that the relationship described in the song didn't last, but that the memories and emotions associated with it are still vivid and meaningful.
Overall, "Blueberry Hill" is a timeless classic that evokes feelings of nostalgia, sentimentality, and the joy of falling in love.

A lot of people don't make
the connection between Fats
and the the man who started
the biggest dance craze in
modern history!
Chubby Checker.(he had the
hit, not Hank)
Get it?....
Chubby Checker,
Fats Domino.
Just another way you will
live forever Fats.
What a heart! What a man!
What a talent!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hope to be with you Fats...
THANKS
LOVE, EVERYBODY

What a coincidence that I happened to be looking at this video & comment on an anniversary of Fats' death(!)--October 24, 2023--FWIW... At least he lived to a ripe old age! 🙂
