As I'm sure each of you go through life there are days where you will hear a song that you may have known for years but suddenly the lyrics have a special meaning or something going on that you can relate to. I always thought "you know posting something like that would be cool but might make me look wimpy" and stuff like that. Well screw it! LOL.
Different songs and lyrics have effects on people throughout their lives. What is meaningful today isn't tomorrow. Some people gravitate to quotes and the written word. Heck we see it on everyones Facebook pages and in their blogs. Although I run across quotes I love - just check Sherry and Natalie's profiles on Facebook. Amazing quotes! But for me it's music.
Candis has something cool she does on her blog (which I will link on here when she is ready to go public - she's working on the layout and code), it's called Friday Cloud Blogging. Every Friday she posts pictures of clouds from through the week. Pretty cool and some amazing shots.
Now I'm not going to be as regular as every Friday, or it might even be daily who knows, but I'm going to post lyrics that touch me on a particular day. Heck, lets see how many people recognize these songs and have ever noticed the lyrics ;-) And do they have a meaning for you? Sometimes I won't post the whole song, as it might be just bits and pieces that touch me.
I have two songs for today. The first is one by Ted Nugent called "Fred Bear". Although the song is about hunting, which I personally don't do anymore, there are some wonderful lines (hi-lighted). Those who have ever had the honour (and it is because I rarely invite anyone) of spending time in the bush with me knows how I am when I'm out in the wild;
(note the kick ass guitar rift!)
There I was back in the wild again.
I felt right at home, where I be-long.
I had the feeling, coming over me again.
Just like it happened so many times be-fore. eh.
The Spirit of the Woods is like an old good friend.
Makes me feel warm and good in-side.
I knew his name and it was good to see him again.
Cause in the wind he's still a-live.
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
It was kinda dark, another misty dusk
it came from a tangle down be-low.
I tried to re-mem-ber everything you taught me so well.
I had to de-cide which way to go.
Was I a-lone or in a hunter's dream.
Cause the moment of truth was here and now.
I felt his touch I felt his guiding hand.
The buck was mine forever more!!
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
We're not alone when we're in the great outdoors
We got his spirit We got his soul
He will guide our steps and our arrows home
The restless spirit still roams
Oh Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again.
Take me back, back where I be-long.
Fred Bear
I'm glad to have you at my side my friend
and I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
before too long.
I'll try not to post more then one at a time but as today is my first crack at this there are two ;-) This song has been on my mind since I first heard it released 30 years ago. The Moody Blues lyrics have always been amazing but when it comes to love songs this one completely speaks to me. Those who know me well will recognize the parts below in green. I spent so many years happy wondering life alone and was inspired by it. That has changed within me this past 5 years, and I yearn to be with someone, but they have captured it wonderfully in lyric.
Moody Blues - "I Know Your Out There Somewhere"
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
the words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's none so blind
As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage
And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied
Yes I know it's going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
