Somewhere Over the Rainbow

 


Rainbow over Elland, seen from Ainley Top, Huddersfield, 14.12.20


"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true."

(music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Yip Harburg)


I wonder what Judy Garland was dreaming of when she sang these famous lines in the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz'? There have been many cover versions of the song since, but no one can deliver it quite like her. Here she is with her last public performance of 'Over the Rainbow' just a few months before she died.

Writing prompt: What dreams do you dare to dream right now? Do you think they will come true? Write about them for seven minutes.
