Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word. Circumstance and Evil will not win in the end. But this song…”Jaded”…from a while back, well, Green Day ripped through a good one here… “ Somebody keep my balanceI think I'm …

Lyrics Post: “Xanadu”
Plain and simple? Let’s RUSH. Together. I wouldn’t want to go alone. But together? YES. It’s been four years. Let’s go again. To Xanadu. "Xanadu" 'To seek the sacred river AlphTo walk the caves of iceTo break my fast on honeydewAnd drink the milk of Paradise...' I had heard the whispered tales of immortalityThe deepest …
Entering Xanadu, 1982
The song, the music…but then the words… “To live within the Pleasure Dome, decree by Kubla Khan…as the last immortal man…” Never to live in this way, isolated, alone, even in paradise, For I would choose, do choose, to live and struggle and love with others, together, That is my preference, my mantra, my eternal …
Lyrics Post: “The Weapon”
Middle of night inspiration, the guitar riff, the lyrics, come to mind when I can’t get immediately back to sleep. "The Weapon" “We've got nothing to fear...but fear itself?Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry? With an iron fist in a velvet …
Lyrics Post: “Numpty” Paulo Nutini
Not a song I woulda thought an immediate candidate for this blog, but then… This happened… remembering the first single all those years ago… Not so long ago, but a bit back… And then revisiting… And enjoying… And then this… Hey, la, la La, la Yeah Building a house so it can fall at the …

Lyrics Post: “Express Yourself”
She’s one of the queens of her era, and will always hold a special place in my heart, Madonna, telling us all how it is…and we are so lucky for that… Hoo! Hoo! Come on girls Do you believe in love? 'Cause I got something to say about it And it goes something like this …
Lyrics Post: “Solsbury Hill”
So long ago, still magical. "Solsbury Hill" 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 …
Lyrics Post: “Mediate”
Was mesmerizing when it came out so long ago, still stirs the same feelings now...so much to think about...or...just...groove. "Mediate" Hallucinate Dessegregate Mediate Alleviate Try not to hate Love your mate Don't suffocate on your own hate Designate your love as fate A one world state As human freight The number eight A white black …
Lyrics Post: “Beautiful Wreck”, Shawn Mullins
This song came to mind yesterday; is a good one for sure. But also, feeling like train hit me, flu-ish, the song popped in my brain. I’m anything but beautiful, but feeling like a wreck. Not Covid, I don’t think. I’ve been full vaxxed, a couple months ago; all the same, had my weekly Covid …
