Drive by Incubus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgT9zGkiLig

Sometimes
I feel the fear of
Uncertainty stinging clear
And I, can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before and seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there, I'll be there

So, if I
Decide to waiver my
Chance to be one of
The hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive?

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine?
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

I like this. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting lyrics and video of self-drawing then the scrunching up of the pages, the physical images of the self being erased...

'I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found'

When all the selves are scattered at the end of the video, it seems as if the driver is in reverse.
Perhaps circling back to feeling
'... the fear of
Uncertainty stinging clear
And I, can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer'

However, ends up with a certainty that:
'Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes'.

Really :cool:
Not to mention - the guy is fit :100:

That's an in-depth analysis. I just liked the song, but what you say is correct.

That's an in-depth analysis. — Manuel

Yeah, I know. I need to go lie down now...
I blame the video, it kinda grabbed my attention - should just have listened :wink:

:snicker:

It was a good analysis. :)

Justin Hayward (20:36)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6qkMD6-7Qk&t=0s

From Ted B -
A selection of favorite Justin Hayward compositions, 2 with the Moody Blues and 2 solo (with John Lodge) from "Blue Jays".
Songs
1) The Land of Make Believe (Seventh Sojourn 1972)
A wonderful song, my favorite from the Moody Blues.
2) This Morning (Blue Jays 1975)
Another top song, not far behind 1)
3) Nights Winters Years (Blue Jays 1975)
A lovely song. To my mind, one of few successful pop songs with full orchestral backing.
4) Nights in White Satin (Days of future passed 1967)
A classic for all time, well deserved.

Future Starts Slow by The Kills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwudqTCkBis

Got this song stuck in my head like a sound-worm. :cheer:

You can holler, you can wail
You can swing, you can flail
You can fuck like a broken sail

But I'll never give you up
If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail

And after all God can keep my soul
England to have my bones
But don't ever give me up
I could never get back up when the future starts so slow

No longing for the moonlight
No longing for the sun
No longer will I curse the bad I've done
If there's a time when the feelings gone, I wanna feel it

You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)

There's a time for the second best
And there's a time when the feeling's gone
But it's hard to be hard I guess
When you're shaking like a dog

You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind

You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)

You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind

' It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle...

'Harrison wrote the song as a response to the copyright infringement suit launched against him over his early 1970s hit "My Sweet Lord". The lyrics use terminology associated with the court case and mention other song titles as a satirical comment on the notion of plagiarism in popular music.[2]'

At the 'Concert for Bangladesh':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zez0-vxyKuE

It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.

It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
The future won't last,
It will soon be over tomorrow.

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it just ain't easy.

Open up your heart, let's come together,
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better.

(ah -)
(ah -)
(ooh-ooh)
(ah-ooh-ooh)

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it.

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust,
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don't come easy.

OTD 40 years ago:

Cliched but true – like it was just yesterday (though a lifetime ago) – first I'd lost John Lennon, then again, almost exactly six months to the day, and without warning, came the news that Bob Marley had left the building. Years later that sting still stung "You're on Earth. There's no cure for that" (again in '89). I couldn't go on, I suppose, without so many ghosts carved into my heart like him ... a natural mystic who never grew old ... like so many other voices that still linger ...
