The post above by Fizz reminded me of Curtis Mayfield and a performance on (I think) the older Saturday Night Live set.

While I'm not a subscriber to any specific spiritual doctrine anymore myself, I've always felt a deepness in soul, R&B, and old-time Black Gospel, like you used to hear on any AM radio station, early on a Sunday morning, driving down the back-roads of Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and more, as the sun rose ;^>)

One of a handful of some of the most soulful music I can remember listening to

People get ready by Curtis Mayfield

People get ready
There's a train a commin'
U don't need no baggage
U just get on board
All U need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
U don't need no ticket
U just thank the lord

So people get ready
There'a a train to jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most

There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pitty on those whose
Chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place
Against the kingdom's throne

People get ready
There's a train a commin'
U don't need no baggage
U just get on board
All U need is faith
To hear the diesels hummin'
U don't need no ticket
U just thank the lord

Go West.yeehaw! ... you's close your Eyes

Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are…

Deacon Blue - 'Dignity'

"Dignity"

There's a man I meet walks up our street
He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never seems to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a "sunblest" bag
The children call him "bogie"
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me
He let me know a secret about the money in his kitty
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her dignity

And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity

And I'm telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes
And I'm thinking about home and all that means
And a place in the winter for dignity
And I'll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
They'll be doing their rounds
They'll ask me how I got her I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty that ship called dignity

And I'm thinking about home
And I'm thinking about faith
And I'm thinking about work
And I'm thinking about how good it would be
To be here some day

On a ship called dignity
A ship called dignity
That ship!

I have this on an early cassette by Graham Nash and David Crosby, and I think that in the basement, in my archived 33-1/3 Lps, I have the original album my now-deceased sister gave me back in 1972.

I was in a minimum security juvenile facility as a result of being deemed incorrigible. probably out of sheer fear and stubbornness, and maybe, subconsciously, to prove just how incorrigible I was, I skipped my initial court hearing, and instead hung out in the woods.

Sometime during my 'stay' in that facility, my sister visited and brought me that album. Inside was a lengthy note, pertaining to an older hippy buddy of mine to the north of there, and his plans to come down and break me out with his car while I walked to the infirmary claiming to nor feel well. The grand plan being to head to Canada.. Poorly thought through, but the grand plan none the less.

I don't know if the note is still inside the album in the archives or not. I should check one day..


David Crosby/Graham Nash Page 43

Look around again
It's the same old story
You see, it's got to be
It says right here on page 43
That you should grab a hold of it
Else you'll find
It's passed you by


Rainbows all a round
Can you find the silver and gold?
It'll make you old
The river can be hot or cold
And you should dive right into it
Else you'll find
It's passed you by


Pass it round one more time
I think I'll have a swallow of wine
Life is fine
Even with the ups and downs
And you should have a sip of it
Else you'll find
It's passed you by

(originally by Elvis Presley)

[YOUTUBEIF]vUdloUqZa7w[/YOUTUBEIF]





Wise men say - Only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.

Wise men say - Only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,
But I can't help falling in love with you.

As the river flows
gently to the sea
Darling so we go
some things were meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
But I can't help falling in love with you.

As the river flows
gently to the sea
Darling so we go
some things were meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
But I can't help falling in love with you.

I can't help falling in love with you.
I can't help falling in love with you.
I can't help falling in love with you.

A greatly demising Minute Tarnish Lurks here,uses product - man (Man, any of where it can use a voice about me)-any activity to try make as much ill as can be known.and ultimately ill will. ... the demise of this FILTH tho mann , OH YES ! :wuuuHuuuUU. (((-: . Now stay Calm .

Angel from Montgomery

Angel from Montgomery

An anthem of sorts, back to the days of milking goats, feeding chickens, and slopping hogs before sunrise on a homestead farm off the grid. Or hitch-hiking across the Continent with my old pup, long gone from this place.

The times I've seen Johnny Prine live, when he does this tune, my eyes dampen a bit, and there's an urge to stand with my hat over my heart.

The original version Prine did had a Hammond B3 (or similar) in it, and, in my opinion, there's few instruments that have the capacity to make music as soulful as that organ could.
--------------------------

--------------------------

'Angel from Montgomery' by john Prine

I am an old woman
named after my mother
my old man is another
child who's grown old

If dreams were thunder
lightning was desire
this old house it would've burned down
a long time ago

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery


Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
He wasn't much to look at
just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time
no matter how I tried
the years just flow by
like a broken down dam

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery


Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing
since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
go on to work in the morning
to come home in the evening
and have nothing to say

Make me an angel
that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
that I can hold on to
to believe in this livin'
is just a hard way to go

High up where the stallion meets the sun

Never leave you till my life is done

I Wish I Was Your Mother

I Wish I Was Your Mother

This tune was written by Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople fame. There's also a version on-line performed by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson, who also played with David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders eons ago.

For anyone who has spent even a moment looking back at family of origin stuff, the voids that can never be filled if they were originally left that way, hammering home Don Henley's line, "You can never go back..."

One of the most contemplative versions I know of.

I Wish I Was Your Mother Lyrics
By Alejandro Escovedo, written by Ian Hunter


I scream at you for sharing
I curse you just for caring
I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty
I tell you not to see me
I tell you not to feel me
I make your life a drag, it's such a pity

I watch your warm glow palin'
I watch your sparkle fadin'
As you realize you're failin' cos' you're so good
Oh, I don't mean to upset you
But there's so much crime to get through
If I could make it easier then I would

I wish I was your mother, I wish I'd been your father
And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child
Played houses with your sisters and wrestled with all your brothers
And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while

It's no use me pretending
You give and I do the spending
Is there a happy ending, I don't think so
Cos' even if we make it
I'll be too far out to take it
You'll have to try and shake it from my head

I wish I was your mother, I wish I'd been your father
And then I would have seen you, would have been you as a child
Played houses with your sisters and wrestled with all your brothers
And then who knows, I might have felt a family for a while

"Maybe I'm Amazed"
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
You hung me on the line.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.

Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh.

Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.

Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
Right me when I'm wrong-
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

"Can't Find My Way Home"

(Steve Winwood)

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.
[Chorus:]
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.
Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.
[Chorus]
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

"Home Sweet Home"

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song, and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home...
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home...
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing
Keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home...
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home...

Home sweet home...
Home sweet home...
Home sweet home...

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home...

Yeah!

I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home...

Green Machine by KYUSS.
Problem is all the online lyrics you find are messed up and plain wrong. Hope these guys are not doing that for a living. There is, however, an accoustic version by Mr John Garcia that's much easier to understand.

so I'm quoting only the part I like the most:

"I see pretty flowers at my feet- a cool breeze, clean air...hospitality. Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please... get the hell away from me.

I'm loading, I'm loading my war machine, I'm contributing to the system's breakdown scheme, I'm shutting down, I'm shutting down your greed for green* I am here to gun it down, I gun you so down."

*(money in this case NOT weed)

Oh yeah

Tool - Forty-six & 2

My shadow's shedding skin and
I've been picking scabs again
I'm down, digging through my old muscles
Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in
I wanna feel the changes coming down
I wanna know what I've been hiding

In my shadow
Change is coming through my shadow
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions
I wanna feel the change consume me
Feel the outside turning in
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within
My shadow
Change is coming, now is my time
Listen to my muscle memory
Contemplate what I've been clinging to
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through
I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through
See my shadow changing
Stretching up and over me
Soften this old armor
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow
Coming out the other side
Step into the shadow
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.
