Well, no NY original, and Rita Coolidge recorded it on her second album, which was released in November 1971, before Neil's soundtrack album named after it in 1973... -- Dave |

@[kyrasdad:54117] Continental Dude, as in one who globally gets around... Surprised from what I see, nobody seems to care about their significant other flirting around, whereas I always wince away from these girls that are taken (maybe invested in) especially when their man is around... -- Dave |

| Bob Lind – Elusive Butterfly Lyrics
| 9 months ago
|
One song on DON'T BE CONCERNED, the home of "Elusive Butterfly", that I like, is "The World Is Just a B-Movie", and in one line he laments how his parents hid him until he was sixteen inside a front loading washing machine...
In other parts of the song, Lind is praising how Sonny Bono saved him from a barber from about to start cutting his hair (described as "the law" merely means promoting the non-conforming long-hair trend the mid-'60's was perhaps evolving into, perhaps?) trivializing a lot of Hollywood/Entertainment of the time, sort of aspects...
And bemoaning about a self-comparison to Godzilla & King Kong, and perhaps sings the not-so-praises of the tedious task going from the joy of all sorts of chord changes to doing a song relegated to playing only A7th to D... Among other musical diatribes... -- Dave |

| Steely Dan – Pearl of the Quarter Lyrics
| 9 months ago
|
|
I learned in church today about the Parable of The Pearl... It is in the Book of Matthew how a merchant had given away a lot of riches just for one pearl... So that made me think of how the sailor's voyage had called for a similar sacrifice of such to find metaphorically a "pearl" a girl was termed as... Louise makes me even think of Louisiana itself, to have gone there for the rice and red beans, too, summing it all up in that French Quarter this takes place... -- Dave |

"I've been hit by purple rain"--well, nobody mentioned if this is where Prince got any idea... Clearly not, but perhaps if he'd heard this and most likely would have, would have been inspired that decade later, to further the idea of the "Purple Haze", Jimi played out... -- Dave |

| America – Till The Sun Comes Up Again Lyrics

What a lament going from a promising love song to an apology for what gains hopeful forgiveness and knowing the outcome of a disagreement or argument until the next morning...
And enduring a loss of sleep throughout then while prayers loom for a positive outcome... -- Dave |

| America – Pigeon Song Lyrics

Well, a few albums later on the HARBOR album, Dewey finally stands up for Animal Rights on "Political Poachers", so you can excuse him for ruffling a few feathers on which is probably a child's point of view, of which I envision a play farm set and maybe an electric train set as well as aside from the shot a time pigeon, hoping the dog was just parted with in given a new owner... -- Dave |

Hear a bit of what sounds like to the tune of The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" throughout the middle... A heating and air conditioning company commercial ends with its slogan at the end, sounding like the guys at the beginning of this song singing the "anthem" singing, or rather, shouting out: "Call on Reliance!"... -- Dave |

| Gordon Lightfoot – A Tree Too Weak To Stand Lyrics

Hmmm, a lot here is very quotable... Gonna have to think of a few lines for situations I encounter:
If trust was such a simple thing, then trusting I would be...
Love songs should not be sung where staying is not planned...
Foolishly climb a tree to weak to stand...

| The Alan Parsons Project – Ammonia Avenue Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
|
NH3 is the chemical symbol for ammonia and it was printed in the inner sleeve as well as "avenue" abbreviated to Ave. and none the less devoted to the commerciality of "Don't Answer Me" while otherwise the title track preceded by Pipeline and a few other tracks convey themes of a rather chemical industrialization of the world... My father was employed at an ammonia plant at the time, two actually as the first was burnt down somhad to be relocated until he'd finally officially retired from all workforce... -- Dave |

| Neil Diamond – If You Go Away Lyrics
| 3 years ago
|
|
The original by Jacque Brel has a few lyrics changed: Such as If you go away I know you will, becoming As Imknow you must, and the rest of the passage, while the repeat of I\'ll make you a day like no day has been, becomes A night like no night has been and more changed lyrics, so Neil Diamond was creative inventing his own interpretation into the original lyrics while keeping the same authenticity and investing his own voice in the original lyrics of this song... |
