Ters. Great tune!!! I've been listening to "The Cowboy Junkies" version....Kinda slow, (and the words are re-arranged a-bit)..None-the-less, something that makes your foot start bouncing.........<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/mutant.gif" width=15 height=15>

The song that keeps running through my head lately is the old Buffalo Springfield chestnut. Remember it?

<I>What's happening here?
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there,
telling me, I've got to beware.</I>

I'll have to go on a search to find it, I suppose. But the line I keep flashing on (for some reason ...)is the one about "1000 people in the street ... something and carrying signs ... something mostly saying 'Hooray for our side'"

I can't even remember the songs name, of course. It's sitting there on the tip of my tongue, but it simply won't surface. I know all of you can help me out on this one.

Ehem. Rob? Oh, Roooob ...

The post above this came about because I hit "quote" instead of "edit" and Lo! there's no way I can fix it to make it go away, apparently. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/lookout.gif" width=15 height=15>

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

<u>For What It's Worth</u> I deleted your duplicate post Muffy. Any clues as to the name of that song yet? <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

I kept thinking "To a Reason" and knew that wasn't right (although it's a good poem, to be sure, but I think that's one Rimbaud wrote, if I'm not completely skewed memorywise). Thanks Wyld. Thanks Larry. For what it's worth.

And skewed memory remains a distinct possibility, with the weather that's moving in. Gee, arthritis sure can be a pain in the peduncle sometimes. Y'know?

I remember FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. When it first came out they used to play it all the time on the radio everyday over & over. I practically knew the chorus bakcwards in my sleep LOL! Funny thing is you never hear it on the radio anymore...

Tuning in a tad late for this one...'The Buffaloe Srpringfield' is one of my favorite bands, that Neil has been in over the yrs. That saying allot, seeing 'Crazy Horse' is great, with, or without Neil!!! Some of my favorite Crazy Horse albums, are ones without Neil....

*Muffy, if you get a chance check out track #4 of Neil's 'Silver & Gold'...Song titled 'Buffaloe Springfield Again'... Altho the CD is lacking in whole, the first 4 songs are worth the purchase...I imagine some of these are out there....<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

Your right! That song has it's place in history books, for sure!!!

For what it's worth, I believe that old 'B.Springfield' hit, was written by
'Steven Stills' (and or Crosby, Nash).

*Don't know why I rambled about Neil. I'm quite sure it's 'Steven Still's song!!!? Neil's on the chorus....<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

************Moonlight*************

The seasons they are turnin, and my sad heart is yearnin
To hear again the songbird sweet melonous tone
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight all alone?
The dusty light the day is losin, orchids, poppys, black eyed susans
The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone
Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

The air is thick and heavy all along the levy
Where the geese into the country side have flown
Won't you meet me, out in the moonlight all alone?

Well I'm preachin peace and harmony, the blessings of tranquility
Yet I know when the time is right to strike
I'll take you accross the river dear, you no need to linger here
I know the kind of things you like
The clouds are turnin crimson, the leaves fall from the limbs
They're branches cast a shadow over stones
Won't you meet me, out in the moonlight alone?

The boulevard of cypress trees, the masquarade of birds and bees
The petals thinkin what the wind has blown
Won't you meet me, out in the moonlight all alone?

I'm tradin moss and mystic clothin, purple blossoms soft as snow
My tears keep flowin to the sea, Dr., Lawyer, Indian Chief, it takes a thief to catch a thief
Oh who does the bell toll for love, it tolls for you and me

A pulse is runnin thru my palm, the sharp hills I'm risin from
Yellow fields with twisted oaks that grow
Won't you meet me, out in the moonlight alone?


***don't ya love it when 'Dylan' writes love songs????.........<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

I recently saw Neil in a live video do a song called "Daddy went walkin" (i think.)

Anyway, the lyrics, apparently about a dying father, were enough to make you burst into tears. Must be on one of his newer albums.

My favorite Neil albums are "Zuma", "Tonights the Night", and "On the Beach".

Icj, yes that's on 'Silver and Gold'...Track #4....Yes, I believe Neil wrote that about his own Dad..(Who is very much alive, none-the-less, getting very old)...The last verse, kinda is spooky a bit...'Some reflection, of how, WHEN his father does meet his maker, the old man will be happier again...For the fact he'll be reunited with his late wife.? That's how I took it..Your right tho...GREAT emotion in that song. It makes me think about my own Dad....

*ON THE BEACH is my ALL time favorite album of Neils...(with the caddalac 1/2 buried in the sand)...It's a hard one to find!!! I'm still lookin...<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/eek.gif" width=15 height=15> Wish me luck! Someday, I'll find it, hopefully with a best buy sticker on it...Critics have that L.P. in the toilet!...lol..

Undoubtably those would be the same critics who trashed "Nashville Skyline" when it first came out? Yeah, I do love it when Dylan writes love songs. When he nails it, he sure nails it. Gene Clark wrote some wonderful ones too, I always thought.

I'll keep an eye out for the Neil Young album for you, Rob. Ya' never know what's going to show up at a yard sale or the library sales. There is a rare, out-of-print album I've spent years looking for myself, so I know the feeling.

"Everything remained the same, unchangeable
No way for any broken dreams to mend
I took a long shot, bet my heart on you
And you showed me the way to fall in love again

There's something about you baby
That I just can't resist
There's something about you baby
Makes me feel like this

I was down, I was blue and lonely
And then you came along
There's something about you baby

We sing the same song
Each day will be a maze of absolute
With no one to fill up that time to spend
But all things pass and now that I see you
And you showed me the way to fall in love again

There's something about you baby
That I just can't resist
There's something about you baby
Makes me feel like this

I was down, I was blue and lonely
And then you came along

There's something about you baby
We sing the same song..."

~Gene Clark~
Something About You Baby
