Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Can't stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye, *Goodbye*
Lucky Man http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...BnUDjsQeRiWhHnvfA&sig2=78oE_8TaWniJGMnNlJxU-Q He had white Horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was led Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Always thought this was sad...as I am a history freak...despite being as "Northern" as the come (except that new member from the Yukon). Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train, 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive. By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well, (Chorus) The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the bells were ringing, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and all the people were singin'. They went Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, (\Chorus) Back with my wife in Tennessee, When one day she called to me, "Virgil, quick, come see,that can't be Robert E. Lee!" Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if ma money's no good. Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, But they should never have taken the very best. (Chorus) Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man, Like my brother before me, who took a rebel stand. He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave, I swear by the mud below my feet, You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. (Chorus) Saw Levon's new band Saturday, he was opening for Fogerty(who was fucking awesome). I was kinda bummed he didn't do this song. "The Night they drove ol Dixie Down". Maybe because it was Toronto.
That is a beautiful song I counter with Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars , Hope it works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrOUwbsy12E
Interesting, nietzschefan, both your observations and selections. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The saddest thing about Eva Cassisdy is that she left us way too young, as with so many great artists. Here she does the traditional Water Is Wide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAqWQbzFXiQ The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down I listened to many times, Joan Baez on vinyl. Here is a young Joan Baez performing in front of a studio audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnS9M03F-fA&feature=related
Problematic for me as the radio station I listen to while driving to work plays predominantly country and golden oldies. I'll give the matter some thought and see what I can come up with. Meanwhile, try this: "The Saddest Song" by Ataris An interesting song in that it seems to address both the missing father in the singer's own life while simultaneously being the missing father in the life of his own child. Only two more days, until your birthday Yesterday was mine You'll be turning five I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all maybe someday you really get to know me not just the letters read to you I pray I get the chance To make it up to you We got a lot of catching up to do So I pretend, I'm doing all I can And hope someday you'll find it in your heart To understand Why I'm not around And forgive me for not being in your life I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Remember waiting there to find nothing at all I remember waiting For you to come Remember waiting For you to call Waiting there to find nothing at all Forgive me! I'm so sorry! I will make it up to you.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHe66mivXPw
This one's a treat. I apologize for not commenting on your earlier postings, Gustav. I can't quite get a fix on what you might like, so take the easy route in posting something general.

Waiting For Gustav (Bebelina's Lament) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Love don't leave a single piece of you When you go Far too far and far too cold of you If you know that i will sit here I will finger your coat And so if you don't know If you can't see anything You're only wounding me more Maybe if it showed you'd pity me Not your fault but it's not mine either - what is that I haven't even tried to fight it off It's just there And so if you don't know If you can't see anything You're only wounding me more Maybe if it showed you'd pity me And if i know love The first sting is soft Compared to the end You have me inside The trap you don't know you set And until you see this I can't move Must i hold my breath Love's a thousand faces But for me yours is it So love, if you won't come over To where i wait for you I'm too weak To take what i need And if you don't feel You cannot soothe And if i know love the First sting is soft compared to the end.
i know a thing or two i learned from you Love hurts I love the music, dont care for the lyrics. Lyrics are usually meaningless anyway.
