Listening to every heart

0 posted 2001-07-29 08:01 AM



forty years uncovered

all little children sing and dance
given a little freedom’s chance
they have that gift deep in their soul
they can inspire rock and roll

Rod on my left, Neil on my right
see how I made it through my nights
chasing Sloopy down a cowboy’s trail
hearing Sweet Caroline in Neil’s wail

forty years gone, now knowing why
their very words could make me cry
I’ll bare yet these questions in me
as layer by layer I loosen free

that which is in the heart of me
underneath music’s poetry

long long ago in my sweet teens
I’d drop the moon to bring me dreams
warm, touching warm left me in awe
while Stanyan Street’s song left me raw

so ask me not who has inspired
my love of words or how transpired
my muse who now brings forth to me
what gifts I share by writing free

and if there be a dream come true
I would bring Rod and Neil to you
for they would help you to see why
my soul is moved, these tears to cry

that which is in the heart of me
underneath music’s poetry

Dear Sunshine, it sound like welcome to the forties club, a few years under the belt and heaps and heaps more to go.
If I am right, Happy birthday, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Be well.

Rick

It's funny how music plays such a part in everyones life..........everyone has their own soundtrack I guess?

Yours seems familiar but different.

Words and music are very powerful don't you think?

Stay warm

This actually brought a little tear to my eye...it's amazing how a song can transport us back...there are some I hear that even remind me of certain SMELLS from a certain time.  If Neil and Rod were the inspiration for your beautiful words, then they are more talented than I ever gave them credit for!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Theirs are some of the most poetic songs that have ever been written! It's easy to see that you are filled with their inspiration!

All I can say is AMEN, so very accurate in all of this writing. (I saw Neil Diamond in concert on TV last night, still as wonderful as ever )
Much enjoyed miss Sunshine, as always.

When goodies were olden
And Diamond was golden
When Mathis was my make-out muse
The Beach boys were hoppin'
As we were do-woppin'
Sinatra was king of the blues.....

Ah, yes, the memories.....

ah yes, memories...isn't it true that as the years progress we strive to create better ones and yet the oldest of these will never quite compare?  Nice work!
