Your Song

I couldn't possibly narrow it down to one song-

1) Kentucky Rain (Elvis)
2) Southern Cross (Crosby, Stills & Nash)
3) Wichita Lineman (Glen Campbell)
4) Dream On (Aerosmith)
50 The whole "Aja" Album (Steely Dan)

I could go on for ever.....

Oh, happy day, that unmistakable brown plumage

As accented by a snow white head and tail

I've seen the holy spirit

When I was young, their population

Had collapsed to where it felt

We'd only know the majesty through photo, prose, and lyric

Through drastic conservation efforts and the diligence of fish

And wildlife scientists, we've actualized impressive data

So much so that 2016 would discover two such creatures

Nesting in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

200 years of absence broken by a brazen pair

Is not to shake a stick at when you actually A-B the numbers

And so it was the PA game commission would install a webcam

With a live feed that would showcase the avian lovers

You could be sitting in your office feelin' testy

Spilling coffee on a spreadsheet

Thinking "Jesus Christ, my life is dismal"

Two seconds later, you could stare into a portal

That reminds you there is more

Than what your awful nine-to-five permits you


Like a giant ****in' eagle
...Or I don't know

Maybe Mona Lisa cheesin' from the easel
...Or I don't know

Maybe sunbeams leakin' through a keyhole
...Or I don't know

...Eh, I don't know


Oh, Lordy Lou, those unmistakable eight talons

That could surgically remove a

Spawning salmon from the raging rapids

People think nature is a rainbow or a newborn

Or an ocean or a puppy which

Denies the gory steak and mashers

You load the site up and expect

To see the glory of a wingspan

Over eagly beaks emerging from a nega-hero

We overlook the fact that

Wow, sometimes a cat'll eat a bird

Sometimes a bird'll eat a cat like it's a ****in' churro

On April 26th, in front a grip of viewers tuning in

To catch a glimpse of what would usually live in the shadows

There was no way to have predicted honing in

On the internet's favorite creature as reduced to nutritional value

I wonder if some dude was sad because his cat had run away

And thought, "Maybe I'll load these eagles up to feel connected"

Then got to watch his little Fluffy torn to pieces by the very nature

He had sought to ease him through his deep depression


Like a giant ****in' eagle
...Or I don't know

Maybe Mona Lisa cheesin' from the easel
...Or I don't know

Maybe sunbeams leakin' through a keyhole
...Or I don't know

...Eh, I don't know

Double wow...
 
I could never pick just one, but the first that comes to mind is one that always makes me think of my late mother, Rose of Sharyn by Killswitch Enagage:

Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
Hoping, praying
That I'll find a way to turn back time
Can I turn back time?

What would I give to behold
The smile, the face of love
You've never left me
The rising sun will always speak your name

Numb and broken, here I stand alone
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
It won't be long
We'll meet again

What would I give (what would I give) to behold
The smile, the face of love
You've never left me (you've never left me)
The rising sun will always speak your name

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting

I mourn for those who never knew you
I mourn (I mourn) for those (for those)
Who never knew you (who never knew you)
It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting

It won't be long, we'll meet again
It won't be long, we'll meet again
It won't be long, we'll meet again
It won't be long, we'll meet again
 
It's not even my favorite song, but when I was in college and just needed to chill out I would listen to my CD copy of
Reading, Writing and Arithmetic by The Sundays. I could listen to Here's Where the Story Ends where I would just lie down with my portable CD player and some headphones and put it on repeat.

 
Way to many to list all of em....here's a few. First link makes me miss Lane Steeley!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r679Hhs9Zs Morrison lyrics were pure art.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyI9flHHT2Q Never expected a song like this from Dire Straights

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrs5Uqr-Kdc ANYTHING Linkin Park!!!!!!

I hate that so many of the musicians I like most are dead! I find a lot of admiration for those who can write lyrics that have depth and put to music that enhances that depth.
