You know how you can put a stick in the water and it looks like it's bent, but it's not? Yeah, that's why I don't take baths.

I thought of this song yesterday as I was driving through the fog on my way to a sprouting class. We've been fogged in for the last week with predictions of another week or more of it. Winter doldrums, for sure. I'm sure glad for music (and the forum!) to brighten things up.

Gene Clark - "In A Misty Morning" Lyrics

I came into town on a Monday morning
The tall buildings breaking up the city sky
The streets were wet it had just been pouring
Like the clouds above the storm just had to cry
I trained my eye on a police cruiser
I watched and I gulped as he passed me by
I looked around to see the street lights changing
And a voice down deep inside me asked me why
Running through my thoughts
Were the memories of the days that I had left behind
Way down in my soul were the hope
That better days were always there to find
The fog rolled in and the lights grew dimmer
And the sound of the city streets seemed amplified
In the misty morning when it had just been pouring
Like the clouds above the storm just had to cry
Like the clouds above the storm just had to cry

This song reflects my current mood; I'm sure that most of you in the U.S. can relate, especially those on the east coast and in the midwest.

Goodnight, everyone, and pleasant dreams!! (I hope to be dreaming about those big fat bass notes as played by Jack Bruce.....)

P.S. I opted not to post lyrics -- too tired.

Wow, what a difference a day makes! (That's a whole 'nother song.....!) The sun is back -- yay!!

The Beatles ~ "Good Day Sunshine"

Lyrics: www.lyrics007.com/The%20Beatles%20Lyrics/Good%20Day%20Sunshine%20Lyrics.html

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about,
I feel good, in a special way.
I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
We take a walk, the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
And then we lie, beneath a shady tree,
I love her and she's loving me.
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine.
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.

I'm thinking.... this, for today:

Triumph ~ Magic Power (click here!)

Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is

Something you were hoping to find, but your not sure what it is

Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear

The music does the talking, says the things you want to hear

I'm young, I'm wild, and I'm free

I've got the magic power of the music in me

I'm young, I'm wild, and I'm free

I've got the magic power of the music in me

She climbs into the bed, she pulls the covers overhead

And she turns her little radio on

She's had a rotten day, so she hopes the DJ's

Gonna play her favourite song

It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams

A little magic power makes it better than it seems

She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free

She gets the magic power of the music from me

She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free

She gets the magic power of the music from me

You're thinking it over, but you just can't sort it out

Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about

Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, you're reaching for the top

Well the music keeps you going and it's never gonna stop

It's never gonna stop

It's never gonna, never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop

The world is full of compromise, the infinite red tape

But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape

Turn me on, turn me up, it's your turn to dream

A little magic power makes it better than it seems

I'm young now, I'm wild now, I want to be free

I've got the magic power of the music in me

I'm young now, I'm wild, and I'm free

I've got the magic power of the music

I've got the music in me

I've got the power

I've got the magic

She's got the power

She's got the magic

You know how you can put a stick in the water and it looks like it's bent, but it's not? Yeah, that's why I don't take baths.

This week I have been hither and fro......listening to all sorts of music. Music from the heart and music of a "deep" nature. I recently began to learn more about Townes
Van Zandt. He was such a great lyricist and yet such a tragic soul who walked with us for a while here on this earth.......He was the cause of his own undoing. Had he lived beyond his 50's I wonder how much more we would have heard from this musician/writer of everday life? But then again, the tragic life he lead most likely fueled his deep and soulful lyrics. I was recently listening to Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott's album entitled "We're Usually Better Than This". (These two artists go together like peanut butter and jelly..great) One of the songs on the album is called "White Freightliner Blues. I was surprised when reading up on the song credits that Townes Van Zandt was actually the writer of this song. I had always assumed that Darrell wrote that one. Well, to get back on track....I ended up on YouTube and as you know....one video leads to another and to another and ...well, you know....but eventually I was lead to this very poignant song that Darrell is singing that I have never heard before.

Right now. This song is me.

This Beggar's Heart

This beggar's heart that I've been given

This beggar's heart has a working door

It may swing wide, it may be bolted

To feel this world no more

This voice I sing, it has been given

This voice I sing, will break down the door

And what's inside will find a friend or two

And sing alone no more

These hands of mine will do you bidding

The hands will play in time and tune

And time will show these hands have mattered

If they have mattered to you

These eyes of mine, they take your picture

These eyes that see into and for

I close my eyes and I still see you

And see myself no more

These feet have walked me through this lonesome world

These feet have dropped me here today

And I'll be damned, I'm going where I'm going

I've really known no other way

These words I sing, they ring familiar

These words I sing, I've heard before

Oh, fare thee well, my one and own true love

I'll see you in my dreams once more

This song I sing, is finally over

You're free to go about your way

So bang the drums and turn the house lights on

I've really nothing more to say

(edited because for some strange reason the lyrics were p0sted in twice in a row and didn't need to be! I don't know how that happened! But I fixed it.)

What a beautiful song! I've seen Darrell on MCR and liked him, but he's another one, like Townes, that I haven't gotten around to listening to yet. I actually have a couple of Townes' albums, but in the past (when I had the financial means), I acquired albums faster than I could listen to them, so now I have a BIG backlog of albums to listen to.

Since I don't know very much about Townes, I looked him up on Wikipedia. He is yet another in a long line of gifted-but-deeply-troubled artists who have come to a tragic end. Reading about how he suffered from bi-polar disease from an early age, I was reminded of another fantastic songwriter, Gene Clark of the Byrds, who also apparently suffered from bi-polar disease but, unlike Townes, never received a proper diagnosis. My layman's opinion is that in both cases, these men were probably self-medicating with drugs and alcohol in a desperate but futile attempt to endure their emotional agony. My hope is that they have at last found peace, with my everlasting thanks to them for the wonderful musical legacies they have left us.

Here's one of Townes' best known songs:
Townes Van Zandt ~ "If I Needed You"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaP8NGML_QE

Here's my favorite Byrds song, the song that made me a Byrds fan and a Gene Clark fan for life:
The Byrds ~ "The World Turns All Around Her"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B-0UWb2JDc

Gene's songs have such a distinctive, instantly identifiable sound, and he could write a gorgeously melancholy melody like no other.
Gene Clark ~ "In A Misty Morning"

Here is a great video of Townes' son, JT Van Zandt singing one of his favorite songs by his dad. It is a moving tribute.
