Anyone here remember the Jon Pousette-Dart Band from the mid-70s? I didn't think they were all that obscure, must have been to at least a half dozen of their concerts back in Beantown and thereabouts, but I can't find lyrics to their songs anywhere on the net...
They had a few quasi-hits: Amnesia and May You Dance... Some of their stuff, which I haven't listened to in years and years just randomly pops into my head... You can still download the tunes, but with titles like Cheated ("Cheated, mistreated, lost my mind, lost my touch... I get hopeful, get let down, you're sure exciting to have around. I want to stand on solid ground, I want something that will stick around...", Never Enough (title speaks for itself, but has the line "What gets me most is that I see, you talk to you and not to me, convince yourself, it's truth you speak..."), Gotta Get Far Away From You ("Been knocked around for almost a year, I'm gone when you want, and when you want me I am here. You've kicked me around til I can't sit down, can't take it no more, so it's 'Goodbye, Miss You'. Gonna get right out, start a new, gotta get far away from you." Even Amnesia has some good stuff... "Well you hit me on the head with your beer bottle, something in my chemistry has changed, and though I've already decided to forgive you, my friends all think I'm permanently deranged... I hope that it's only amnesia, believe me I'm sick but not insane."
I'm kinda guessing someone in the band was going through what we are as a lot of the songs evoke the themes we read about on these boards...
May You Dance says "May you dance, when all your world falls down, when it's all upside down, may you turn it around and dance."
There are also great tunes about children, my favorite is called Yaicha ("Yaicha, I love to watch you smile, you are a candle beneath the falling rain, you are the child in which the love still remains"), but the one that I always aspired to when I was a young man thinking about the type of father I wanted to be is the one that I want to rededicate myself to. It's called, I think, The Man and it goes like this:
I've watched the man grow older through the years, I've seen the lines in his face grow deeper.
Listened to his silence and Heard wisdom, Felt his love checkmate hate...
Worth downloading some of these if you remember that band at all... The messages are timeless...
For the California crowd, I see they have some gigs there in July...

Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Reeds driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea You know how I feel River running free You know how I feel Blossom in the tree You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me Fooor me
Stars when you shine You know how I feel Scent of the pine You know how I feel Yeah freedom is mine And I know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life hu It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life
It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life It's a new life For me
And I'm feeling good

That one is on my playlist!
Along with "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" (Pitbull) That one makes me dance wherever I am. I think I'm going to jump on iTunes and download that one right now...

Dang, just checked out those lyrics and they're pretty spot on. I just picked it because I wanted something empowering, rather than "gonnadieifhdoesntcomeback"...

Here is a good one I just heard on the radio - Normally I can't stand country music however here at work that is what I listen to 10 hours a day so here you go...
Keith Urban You'll Think Of Me
I woke up early this morning around 4am With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms I've been tryin' my best to get along But that's OK There's nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need'em Take your space and take your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me, you'll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this And all the baggage that seems to still exist It seems the only blessing I have left to my name Is not knowing what we could have been What we should have been So
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need'em Take your space and take your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind Don't worry, I'll be fine I'm gonna be alright While you're sleeping with your pride Wishing I could hold you tight I'll be over you And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need'em And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need'em Take your space and all your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we got nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah
And you're gonna think of me Oh someday baby, someday
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
