This is for remembering old songs, jotting down a few lyrics, and talking about the song and why it was or is important to you.

It's not just for listing songs you like.

And maybe one song will remind you of another song.

People forget songs from their youth. It's fun to hear a long lost one that you hadn't heard in awhile.

Just got back from jogging and Phil Collins was playing The land of Confusion in my headset:

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

Too many men, too many people,
Making too many problems
And not enuf love to go round

Can't you see this is the land of confusion
this is the world we live in...

Make it a place worth fightin for...

I wonder when Phil wrote that song. Our generation certainly didn't put it right. Our generation produced Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. They have a lot more power and influence than Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, who we take credit for.

Our generation will put it right. Makes me laugh. We put in George W. Bush twice. Maybe the song should read: put it "to the right", the wingnut right that is...

New Edition Jealous Girl Lyrics

Fellas
There's a jealous girl in our town
Ohh, baby
Fellas
There's a jealous girl in our town
Ohh, baby

I know you feel about
Me and my girl
But I gave you the first chance to
Be in my world
Now you are saying things
To keep us apart
You had the very chance to
Be in my heart

When I loved you, you didn't love me
Our love had no unity
All you ever told me were lies
It's my girl I know you despise

Fellas
There's a jealous girl in our town
Ohh, baby
Fellas
There's a jealous girl in our town
Ohh, baby


Ahh I loved that song and played it over and over on my stereo.

Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home


everytime i've heard this, first on the radio, and then when i bought the CD it always gives me the most intense longing for...

jeff miller

the guy i dumped when i met chuck. the guy i couldn't get to commit. the guy who truly rocked my world. he was my mcdreamy. 6'3", big blue eyes, and when he held me. he held me. he still lives in the same place. i drive by it once a year, i've seen him 3 times in 20 years, outside. he had 2 little girls who are now grown. but he couldn't/wouldn't commit. i needed so much he couldn't give then.

things i've gotten now. <sigh>

The Dance by Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance


This reminds me of my one true love that I have had. Everytime I hear it, it makes me sad and happy at the same time. Sad because the love is gone, but happy that I experienced it.

Pig in a Pen

Chorus: I got a pig at home in a pen, corn to feed him on,
All I need's a pretty little girl, to feed 'em when I'm gone.

Goin' up on a mountain to sow a little cane,
Raise a barrel of sorghum, sweet little Liza Jane.

Black smoke a-risin', sure sign of rain,
Put that old gray bonnet on sweet little Liza Jane.

Yonder comes that gal of mine, how do you think I know,
Tell by that gingham gown hangin' down so low.

Bake them biscuits, baby, bake 'em good and brown,
When you get them biscuits baked, we're Alabama bound.

When I was in grade school I sang this song for talent show..I lost! But I love this song

PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal PUFF,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

OH PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on PUFF's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when PUFF roared out his name

OH, PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And PUFF that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
PUFF no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, PUFF could not be brave,
So PUFF that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

Oh! PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Music is such a personal thing. Not sure it translates when you just type in the words.

You really have to hear it, either on the radio, or stereo, or in your head.

But it is the only way I read poetry. Sometimes I tell myself I need to get back into music again. It used to be such an important part of my life when I was in my 20s and 30s. Now talk radio has overwhelmed it. Out of balance.

When I think of love, recently when I was thinking of that topic, it reminded me of a song by Joni Mitchell.

All I really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and you too

I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Sigh...

The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;

The money on the bus goes, Clink, clink, clink;

The lady on the bus says, "Get off my feet"...
The people on the bus say, "We had a nice ride"...
"Your name" on the bus says Let Me Off!

Did someone say Music?

This is by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton. It never fails to affect me. I remember family and friends who've gone over and are waiting.

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

I was a teen when this song came out. Went to all the WAMS (radio station) dances at the Gold Ballroom in Hotel DuPont. I just loved it. (I really liked sad songs.)

A Little Bit of Soap
Words and Music by Bert Berns
Performed by The Jarmels in 1961

jarmels

A little bit of soap
will wash away your lipstick
from my face
A little bit of soap
will never never never ever erase the pain in my heart and my eyes as I go thro
through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears....

Just a little bit of soap will take away your powder from my chin
A little bit of soap
will never never never ever begin to take away the hurt that I feel as I go
through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears

Now have you heard when love begins to die it leaves someone to cry night and
day
Just like the bird who left the robin's nest you're just like all the rest
You flew away

Just a little bit of soap
will take away your perfume eventually
A little bit of soap
will never take away the memory
of your name in the night
as I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
will never wash away my tears...

The Jarmels, eh? I remember the song very well. I like how they pushed the vowel when singing "wash."

Have never heard it. Might have to start listening to more country & western.

I stumbled onto a great interview on NPR yesterday. Terri Gross, 11am here in Denver, interviewed Leonard Cohen.

I saw him in concert at Ebbets Field in Denver probably around l975. It was my favorite small concert of all time. He talked to the audience. Even asked if anyone had a book of his poems that he could read from.

Apparently he has a new book of poems called "Book of Longing".

I think he was married to Rebeccah DeMornay? for awhile. I wonder how old he is now...

What's the easiest way to learn new music?

Let's say I want to hear this Paisley/Parton song. What would the BEST procedure be? Can't I hear it on the internet for free? Or do I have to buy everything?

Maybe it's time I bought an IPod? MP3 player? Is one better thant he other?

There are no lyrics but Frank Mills "Music box dancer" is a favorite of mine.

My father taught me to waltz to this. Beautiful.

This is my song for my son:

hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

My favorite verse is this:

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance


I think we should all live by this

I love listening to the words in songs. I have friends who love music but never listen to the lyrics. You see that a lot on phone in radio shows where people will dedicate the darndest songs to a loved one.

I love the meaning in that song. I want my daughters to "dance".
