Yes – In the Presence Of Lyrics

11 months ago

At the end of the day this song is about the (higher) power of love and its divine connection to a Higher Being - God - and His love. The beautiful melody and soaring or orchestration ably supports this glorious theme. Along the way there are reminders that we will hit dark times and places (turn around and remember that when you get so low that you finally hit the ground) but we must keep believing. “In your arms I can see it all.” Amen.

Toto – White Sister Lyrics

1 year ago

One of Toto’s best rockers for sure. Crazy voice and guitar work by Bobby Kimball and Steve Lukather respectively. The lyrics are a bit cryptic. White sister is metaphorical and certain lyrical passages indicate a real darkness, perhaps an unhealthy affair, but what or who is the real subject? A femme fatale or the white powder? The lyric “you crucify an orphan with the rainbow in your eyes, then send out invitations and address them with his cries” indicates maybe a smoke show prostitute whose speciality is SM, which suggests more of the femme fatale angle. Then he says “wish I could say that your mine” indicating her captivating but oh so dangerous allure. This was written when the guys were young rising stars and exploring the offerings of the fast LA music scene. So we can fill in the blanks.

Boz Scaggs – Loan Me a Dime Lyrics	2 years ago
Saw Boz last night live in Macon GA and he played this one. At 79 he still has his magic. As an intro he mentioned Duane Allman having been a good friend to whom he owes a large debt and then he dedicated this one to him. Heart wrending and beautifully wrought.

Boz Scaggs – Harbor Lights Lyrics	2 years ago
One of Boz’s best ballads and that’s saying something as he has many great ones. The chorus is arresting and just so beautiful. Saw him live last night at 79! He absolutely still has it. This was in Macon and he played a tribute to Duane Allman who was a friend. Class act of a man and amazing songwriter and musician.

@[StealBreez:44040] AMEN! The songwriting, arrangements, and musicianship are on another (alien?) level. I would add Selling England By The Pound to the list.
