Music Lyrics

sometimes music sets the mood, at other times the mood sets the music. when the choice of music is in my hands - i try to stay with the beat of the conversation - usually shifting up-beat a notch to keep people alive. if i wish to think certain thoughts, i tend to certain artists and their lyrics.

when i'm down and troubled and need a helping hand, and nothing can turn out right - it calls for Carole King, or Joni Mitchell or even Crosby, Stills and Nash, with or without Neil Young. The old stand-bys like Big Yellow Taxi and Cathedral, or Al Stewart's Year of the Cat bring back feelings of being able to handle the chores of the mundane existance that we all lead on the side to pay for our lives. I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. She's twisted man, poop d'shoobee. Don't bother asking for explations, she'll just tell you. 25 or 6 to 4.

Cathedral is indeed great, but my favorite CSN is Dark Star.

And I thought I was the only one still around who likes Year of the Cat.

Happy Gnu Yere!
