Lyrics
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a day...

WHAT!?!? 'Wool Cap Mike' is gone?
I didn't know
( Like Lennon said in '70 "Don't worry over us, we're alright and so are you and everything you liked of the 'Beatles' is still here, all the records and the films and all that will still be around...we gave you fans the best we had for years and years and now it's time for a long rest and none of you would like to hear and see us at forty or something..." )
________
How wrong he was and didn't know it!
________
* 'The Monkees' will live-on long after all the original fans are gone, and that wouldn't be true unless there was real talent and chemistry involved between them, because although a camera may not 'tell the truth of things'...it doesn't 'lie' either*
WE know the difference between 'fake' and 'real' and what we saw and heard from the 'American Fab Four' was real even if it was never intended to be
________
I saw an interview with Nesmith here on 'Tube and he talked about Peter Tork and how Mike seemed to just 'always not quite right' and "Not the friend I should've been" with Peter in being 'not enemies but not close the way we should have been' and that when an assistant told him where he working said "I just heard that Peter has died" it felt "Like I was kicked in the guts and my heart stopped because I never got the the chance to tell him I loved him and didn't know it and now it's too late to even say goodbye to him
( Mike looked like he going to burst into tears right on camera and trying hard not to )
________
I have a friend 'Leon' that I knew from Kindergarten all the way to 7th. grade and we were always 'pals' but what I didn't realize was how poor he was...I had no real concept of what it meant to not have any money in a pocket for a snack or matinee movies or a bag of candy
My family was not 'rich' at all but there was always money for me to have for lunch at school and for 'after' and I always got 'movie money' at least twice a month and Leon had none of that and the 'little house' he and his mom lived-in would be considered 'cheap' and 'poor' even in the late '50's thru the '60's in Dearborn, Mi.
How I wish I could see him now after more than fifty-years have passed, and tell him "I'm sorry for not being a better friend than I was but I just didn't know any better and now that I know it makes my heart hurt that I wasn't as good to you as you were to me and I'M SORRY
( We moved from Dearborn to Las Vegas in early '68 and I never even thought to say 'Goodbye' to him and get his address so I could write to him or maybe call sometimes )
WHAT AN A-HOLE I WAS TO HIM and I still don't understand 'Why?'

They were four boys with big dreams,
Who came together to make them come true.
They were The Monkees,
And they changed the world.

They brought joy to millions,
With their music, their humor, and their friendship.
They were more than just a band,
They were a family.

They are gone now,
But their music will live on forever.
They will be remembered for their talent,
Their heart, and their soul.

Rest in peace, Monkees.
You will be missed.

Two years ago my wife went into hospital for a major operation. I dropped her off there, made sure she was checked into her ward and left as she was taken down into theatre.
I got in my car, turned on the radio and as I drove away from the hospital this song came on. I broke down in tears and had to pull the car over. You see, her late Mum was called Jean and as youngsters they used to sing this to her "Cheer up sleepy Jean". To me this meant her Mum was watching over her and the worry drained away from me and I just knew for certain that she was going to be ok.
Sure enough after a nine hour operation she pulled through and is now fine. I have always loved this song but even more so now.
Daily I give my thanks to the wonderful surgical team, her Mum Jean and Davy Jones.

It stayed there 4 four weeks, then bumped out of the number one spot by the Beatles "Hello Goodbye" Every time I hear the tune it brings tears to my eyes it's so beautiful. God Bless!

@tedwojtasik8781

That's because writing music has become a lost art. Computer programs do the writing now based on an algorithm of what people supposedly want. This is why there has not been a popular song with a key change since 2002. They no longer know how to write a proper melody and don't understand how to use key changes and time changes to enhance and color the mood(s) of a song. That is what's missing from modern music. It reminds me of the Bowie / Ronson collaboration. Bowie wrote the songs on guitar and brought a very crude and basic structure to Ronson who then molded that song into the tunes we know and love. Ronson created the arrangements, key changes and time shifts. That was all 100% Ronson.

My Grandma died recently.
I was listening to the radio trying to sleep when a song of a man who died trying to tell his lover he loved her came on. put in a melancholic mood, I changed the station, and found a rock and roll station. not long after I started listening, they ran a segment about Carers and how many are unpaid family members, working with basically no resources or training, and praising them for their work... which I'd been doing for the past 5 years, between the frequent hospital visits.
it wasn't long before I couldn't listen much longer, so I changed once again, back to the first station. This song was playing, and given I was nearly completely in tears...

that old adage about three times being enemy action... I'm almost certain Grandma was trying to send a message, and... this song is now special to me because of that night.
