Twelve strings of magic Harnessing 300 years of polished wood Stroked lightly, brushing cords Strumming in perfect tone A distinct and noteable sound Standing out in concert live La, de, da, de, de, da, de La, de, da, de, de, da La, de, da, de, de, da, de La, de, da, de, de, da, Drum Beat On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair If you know the song I refer to You can sing it if you dare Tranced into the melody I am driven into the night Feeling wind upon my face Feeling captured by the moonlight Even though the song is risque It matters not to my soul The twelve strings play for me I am captive forevermore Note: If you got past my literal humming you are an Eagles Fan! |

well I don't know the Eagles, but I do know I liked the following stanza best: Tranced into the melody I am driven into the night Feeling wind upon my face Feeling captured by the moonlight |

Well, there are others out there! Janet: Thank you so much! I too think Don Henley is magnificent! He transcends anything I could dream. "The end of Innocence" is also a haunting script. I think I know every word to every song they've ever written. Thank you sister of rhyme and for whatever reason you share my interest in one of the "Greatest" bands there is. GentleSpirit: Hey! Glad you sang along. Those songs do encapsule great memories in time don't they. You're welcome VAS: Thank you for reading! I'm glad that stanza caught your eye. I wrote it along with the tempo of the song. It fits, but I'm no Don Henley. Go to any music site, and look up Hotel California by the Eagles. Just to give you an idea. Thank You! Ethan: You've got it down! You too have excellent taste! I think each song has a verse that clings to someone out there. Thanks for remembering with me. Sincerely, Regina |

Once again a wonderful poem Regina, which brought me there, I loved the Eagles as well and must come from about the same year, amazing how a song can capture a part of us all and never ever leave. I could feel the wind touching my face and the melody blessing my soul. Rick |

Indeed, I found myself humming the melody as I read the words. . . great job. . . This is wonderful. . . I like the "literary humming. . ." gives us a further idea as to what we're listening to. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person.

Such is the power of music and especially a great song. Nice guitar description, too. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
