"So Into You" -- Atlanta Rhythm Section, Live 1977

"When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else

Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me"

That's a blast from the past! "So Into You", have not heard that song since its release. And "Jackie Blue", by Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Two great songs! I wish I was a radio station programmer, all the old stuff you never hear anymore, I'd bring them back again. "City Lights" by David Essex is another one. I just can't find the unedited version on any Essex CD, anywhere.

"I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley
On a weird radio

If you want a drink of water
You got to get it from a well
If you wanna get to heaven
You got to raise a little hell

I never felt it in my feet
I've never felt it in my soul
But I heard it in the alley
Now it's in my rock and roll

If you wanna know a secret
You got to promise not to tell
If you wanna get to heaven
You got to raise a little hell

I never thought it'd be so easy
I never thought it'd be so fun
But I heard it in the alley
Now I got it on the run

If you wanna see an angel
You got to find her where she fell
If you wanna get the heaven
You got to raise a little hell

If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven"

(The quality of this one isn't as good, but the visuals are better. I like my music live)

(The quality of this one is great! Both are live. This song sounds so much like "Chicken Train," another Ozark Mountain Daredevils song I love.)

I just called to say I love you...Stevie Wonder
When my mum was alive if she rang me and got my answer phone she would always sing that line into the phone.

So... today is the one-year anniversary of Chester Bennington, of Linkin Park. His death was a tragedy but he left behind wonderful music. Here's one of many quotable lyrics he left us:

“Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do.”
-“One More Light” by Linkin Park

To someone in my past..........by Charlie Pride.

"I never did fit in to well with folks you knew,
and it's plain to see the likes of me don't fit with you.
So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do and turned your back on the love I offered you"

Philosophy on life.........from song "Comancheros"

"I've covered every inch of this ground where I stand,
and I'll die before I run............"

memories of Far East.......

".........and the dawn comes up like thunder, from Rangoon to Mandalay"

Football Team I have followed since a lad............"Up the U's, Up the U's, Up the good old white striped blues"

probably plenty more if I trawl enough, but enough before I bore people any more.......

She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn

And every word is nonsense, but I understand
And oh, Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

"Alexandra Leaving" by Leonard Cohen

"It's not a trick, your senses all deceiving
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost

Even though she sleeps upon your satin
Even though she wakes you with a kiss
Do not say the moment was imagined
Do not stoop to strategies like this

As someone long prepared for the occasion
In full command of every plan you wrecked
Do not choose a coward's explanation
That hides behind the cause and the effect"

Ain't no good life
Not the one that I lead
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve
Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I don't pray
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
Just 'cause I'm alive
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'

I'm gonna get myself together
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by
Yeah I tell ya
I don't even know where last month went
Well I can't make no money baby
Well 'cause my money's already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent
Well I don't mean change, baby
I mean foldin' money


~~~~~Ain't No Good Life" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

"When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light"

From 'The Light' by Disturbed.
The whole song is totally awesome and inspirational, but the chorus just about sums it up.
