Ok, my greater self has been known to have a sense of humor, true... but THIS is the song that's been running around inside me recently. It took a while to figure out what the lyrics actually were and where it came from... and now I do remember the TV show it comes from. But really... THIS song? LOL! 'Course... the lyrics say a lot, actually, and truth be told... I kinda like it. 
Song Lyrics For
Greatest American Hero (Believe It Or Not)
by Joey Scarbury
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day-,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true-.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

Incidentally.... "The Greatest American Hero is an American TV series which aired for three seasons from 1981 to 1983 on ABC. It premiered as a two hour movie pilot on March 18, 1981. It starred William Katt as teacher Ralph Hinkley (later Hanley), Robert Culp as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell, and Connie Sellecca as lawyer Pam Davidson. The show chronicles Ralph's adventures after he is given a red suit from a group of aliens, which gives him superhuman abilities."

Yeah, it was a great show, I watched it when I was a kid, the song was great and fit nicely for the show.
The synopsis of the show is basically the guy is a superhero who is kinda like inspector gadget in a way, he is clumsey, but not absent minded. He works with a detective and together they team up to fight crime and help each other out.

Yeah, I remember it, Ed. Though I'm fairly certain my Higher Self was prompting me with the song for the lyrics... not for the show. Unless I'm about to get my alien red suit.... ROFL! |

Just read Ellie Crystal's site and it triggered the same sense I had when I looked up the lyrics to this show's song... in particular when I read the following verse — especially the highlighted line — I felt a significance:
It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.
This is the part of Ellie's blog that triggered me...
..."Parallel realities, even as dreams, are merging now. Time shifts suddenly at the end so be prepared when the feeling comes along with a knowing it is over. They say the end of time comes out of the blue (not time contingent)..."(Elliesworld)
There are a number of other connections I make with this, actually, that have cropped up just recently. I've been having that "parallel reality awareness" thing happening, and blue... as a word, a color, a feel, a whole sense of something... keeps poking at me, too.
And oddly enough, our own Nicole seems to link to all of this for me (with the parallel reality thing, the blue and even the phrase "out of the blue" - a suggestion I made to her for the name of her then new site, years back when she started "BlueStarHome"), just by the way Jenn too, in fact, with the blue, especially. So... something's up, that's for sure!
Anyway, thought I'd put this here since I already started this thread.
