General


Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."


I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

Wonderful Tonight ~ Eric Clapton

I came in from the wilderness
A creature void of form
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
Shelter from the storm"
And if I pass this way again
You can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her
On that I give my word

Yep, Mississippi Goddam is a great song!

From Joni Mitchell:

I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive, nobody calling me up for favors, nobodies future to decide.

I'd go back there tomorrow but for the work I've taken on, stoking the star maker machinery behind the popular song.

Sweetest, saddest love song lyrics imo are from Nina Simone, If you knew. She wrote it when her husband had left her (he thought she had left him apparently).

If you knew how I missed you,
You would not stay away today
Don't you know how I love you
Stay here my dear with me

I need you here my darling
Together for a day, a day
Together never parting
Just you, jus ...[text shortened]... me
I love you, I love you, I do

Star Trekking, across the universe;
On the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk.

Such a meaningful song.
