Posted: 2/19/2007 4:08:01 PM | @ Audi and Jaw,
I would like to know of these bands. Sometimes they are indeed good. I recall a Led Zeppelin band that was amazing.
But, I feel that the Floyd is a harder tune to follow, IMO.
I do kinda wish I had a different title to this thread, as I think I didnt want it to be personal, more so the tunes the person can relate to.
3 pages now, you all are doing well... | |

Posted: 2/19/2007 4:17:34 PM | Gavin also does a REALLY good cover of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On."
Got that one too! I'm just an ol' Beatles fan, and Gavin did a great job on that one. And yes I know..."Jealous Guy" was a John Lennon tune, but I try to look at it as the Beatles never broke up....they just started doin' solo projects....lol They'll get together and jam again....(that great gig in the sky) that is unless Lennon is burnin' for his "popular" remark...lmao | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 7:50:09 AM | "That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in a light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said "Like me I see you're walking alone
Won't you please stay?" I couldn't look away
She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together
No mortal was meant to see such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness I'll see her again
Yes I'm gonna go 'cause now I know
She said I love the night
The day is OK and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away
I love the night
There's so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight
If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together" | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 11:31:05 AM | I have Gavin's cover of Jealous guy, and it is amazing. Gavin is just an all around great musician. I've seen him twice in concert and would go again in a heartbeat. He has one of the prettiest voices I've ever heard...His music comes from the heart and touches the minds and souls of his fans. He truly is an amazing musician.
"Snow (Hey Oh)" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh (now) listen what I say oh
When will I know that i really can't go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it's killing me
When will I really see
All that I need to look inside
Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it's killing me
What do I really need
All that I need to look inside
Hey oh listen what I say oh
Come back and
Hey oh look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it's so white as snow
Running through a field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there is nowhere to go
When to descend to amend for friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up
I'm gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on
Come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh listen what I say oh
I got your
Hey oh listen what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go... hey oh whoa
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there is nowhere to go
I said hey yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go
I said hey oh yeah
Oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey yeah
Oh yeah | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 12:22:33 PM | Another oldie:
"Same Old Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg
Met my old lover in the grocery store,
The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
And I touched her on the sleeve.
She didn't recognize the face at first,
But then her eyes flew open wide.
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
The food was totalled up and bagged.
We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
But couldn't find an open bar.
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect,
Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
She would have liked to say she loved the man,
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her,
And that her eyes were still as blue.
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores,
And that I must be doing well.
I said the audience was heavenly,
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence,
Another 'auld lang syne'......
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
And running out of things to say.
She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school,
And felt that old familiar pain .........
And as I turned to make my way back home,
The snow turned into rain .............. | |

ARTIST: Mac Davis
TITLE: It's Hard to Be Humble
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin' the best that I can
I used to have a girlfriend but I guess she just couldn't compete
With all these love starved women who keep clamoring at my feet
Well I probably could find me another but I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares I never get lonesome 'cause I treasure my own company
I guess you could say I am a loner, a cowboy all locked up and proud
Well I could have lots of friends if I wanted, but then I wouldn't stand out in a crowd
Some folks say that I'm egotistical - hell I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the way that I fill out my skin tight blue jeans | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 6:53:31 PM | I have always loved this song, particularly for it's lyrics. I've been looking to find a copy for years and have had no success. If anyone knows of a source, please let me know.
Music and lyrices by Jon Kay of Steppenwolf.
If the heart is a lonely hunter
Then the mind is a loaded gun
Sometimes it begins to wonder
If the love you seek is on the run
All day you've been thinkin' 'bout the coming night
It's the only time you really fear
It holds no tenderness
For you're alone in this wilderness
Hold on, never give up, never give in
Stay young and believe in your chance to win
Hold on, never give up, never give in
Stay young and don't ever betray your dreams
A rough night in the daily jungle
And it's tough times on the nightly news
Somehow you ignore the rumble
Of the heart that's shakin' in your shoes
Someday, you just keep on sayin'
Someday, I will find a way to live my dream
But there's no guarantee
Still, you got hope and your fantasy
Hold on, never give up, never give in
Stay young and believe in your chance to win
Hold on, never give up, never give in
Stay young and don't ever betray your dreams
Keep on dreaming, keep on scheming
Stay fast and young, your time will come
Keep on hoping, keep on coping
Stay fast and young, your time will come
Keep on believing, keep on achieving
Stay fast and young, your time will come success. If anyone knows of a source, please let me know. | |

Posted: 2/27/2007 12:35:06 PM | Walked a fine line
Slipped the edge under me
Rise above a suicide and taking it outta me
Got a feeling it's going far away
Licking the wounds from yesterday
Chorus:
Gonna fly high
Taking my time
Strip down to nothing
Gonna try
But there's no rest for the wicked
Been through the skin of a dragon a thousand times
Yet everyday I live for you
Still I'm not alive
Got a feeling I'm gonna fall away
Give me a sign
One reason that I should stay
Chorus:
Gonna fly high
Taking my time
Strip down to nothing
Gonna try
But there's no rest for the wicked
Gonna fly high
Taking my time
Strip down to nothing
Gonna try
But there's no rest for the wicked
Are you ready to know who I am?
Do you think you can make me a better man?
Crack me open?
Expose me to your ways?
But ignorance and arrogance are my ways
No rest for the wicked baby!
Chorus:
Gonna fly high
Taking my time
Strip down to nothing
Gonna try
But there's no rest for the wicked
Gonna fly high
Taking my time
Strip down to nothing
Gonna try
But there's no rest for the wicked | |

While stuck up north because of the snowstorms, I had occasion to visit an area drinking establishment where folks were all having a bit of an active good time. Someone passed an old flattop over to me for a while and, keeping with the clowning around of the room, these are the first two tunes that came out:
Love Potion Number Nine
I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth.
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of … Love Potion Number Nine.
I told her that I was a flop with chics
I've been this way since 1956.
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said "What you need is … Love Potion Number Nine".
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink.
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink".
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink ...
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink ...
I didn't know if it was day or night.
I started kissin' everything in sight.
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine,
He broke my little bottle of . . . Love Potion Number Nine.
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
. . .
I didn't know if it was day or night.
I started kissin' everything in sight.
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine.
He broke my little bottle of . . . Love Potion Number Nine.
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine.
Another was the lively, “Let the Little Girl Dance” -- which is also fun in a 1960s sort of way.

Posted: 3/5/2007 4:44:35 PM | Ohh Guster is a phenomenal band!
"Either Way" -Guster
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you
Poison in everything you said
Don't you, don't you?
Wonder what difference does it make......Either way
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Why give away that other side of you
Happens every time, so it must be true
Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you
Poison in everything you said
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make....Either way
Were you ever kind, were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
Happened every time, so it must be true?
Where did you learn it's either him or you?
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you
Poison in everything you said
Don't you, don't you?
Wonder what difference does it make......Either way | |

All that you see
All that you taste
All that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 3:12:55 PM | After reading all those lyrics I've never heard of, I guess I am definately too old to be here! You may not know this one; it's only part of one of Stephen Sondheim's from Follies:
I'm still Here!
Good times & bad times, I've seen 'em all and my dear, I'm still here.
Plush velvet sometimes, sometimes just pretzels & beer, But I'm here.
I've stuffed the dailies in my shoes, Strummed ukules, sung the blues,
Seen all my dreams disappear, But I'm here. . . . . . . | |
