I love my new record player so much that I'm going through my records and playing different ones. Yesterday, or shall I say, the day before yesterday, I pulled out my America Album. (Everyone has an America album ?) Well there was this one song,(Isn't there always?) that has been puzzling me all day. (I wish I could play the music for you. (You'd hate me until you could make it stop because it's a good tune but it sticks with you.) Well, let me show you the lyrics. You can tell me what you think the lyrics mean. I've been down to the water I've been on top of the world Somebody should come and see me Somebody should give me the word 'Cause I don't know how many more I don't know how many more I don't know how many more to see Sometimes the free thoughts clash Sometimes I see through the grass Sometime the light begins to dim Somebody should come and be me Somebody should come and free me 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you I cannot learn much more life I cannot see much more Somebody should stop the new sight Somebody should close the door 'Cause I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more (many more) I don't know how many more to see Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands Can't you see there's food to be grown Got to dig up, dig up the land
I'll bet I have listened to that song on a few occasions. I have 4 or 5 America albums and some days I play them all back to back. The only thing I can say bout this one is "I have no idea". Either I am too tired from working all day or sometimes the lyrics are just beautiful words that sound good together when put to music. I love their folk/accoustic rock kinda sound. I can walk around all day and pretend its 1976 for awhile. (I am sad,I know but,hey no ones perfect) When I come across something that I like I try to keep it around for as long as possible. Have you ever heard of EKOOSTIK HOOKAH? They are a way cool band from oHIo. If you want to check them out go to Ekoostik.com Stay cool and be Peaceful, Johnny Appleweed
The site looks cool, Johnny. The song I was listening to by America is off their 1972 homecoming album. I dig the late 60's early 70's music. It just sounds so free. I like shows like Kojac, and Barretta 'cause the scenery looks so fresh. I dig city look or country but it has to look like fresh air and free. Everything nowadays looks too new and boring. (At least it's what I think.)
