 It Happened Again I can't stay forty-nine no, I cannot do this, all of the time because good vibrations come to me good, good, good vibrations and I got a good sensation ~ what and where I was long ago oh the music it transported me to a place I want to go back to age nine in sixty-one when music was fun, fun, fun and the worst thing on a boy's mind was to do some draggin' in a 409 the night wore on, it did all right the music was rocking, all ages in sight Beach Boys were beached, in Kansas it seems and for me, behold, a childhood dream! for I've been teased, called "a beached babe" 'cause from CA I came folks wondered at the trade… for an in-between kind of girl the sort with naivete still in her eyes I can still be surprised as I come to self-realize who I was, who I am, and who I might someday be… a beached babe who's happy she's she… so last night I transported back some forty years the music was all UP even through the tears folks on their feet, moving to the beat did they all feel it to be as sweet? but the song that hit hardest for silent reasons long known was Brian's In my Room I didn't know then of his foggy gloom nor the reasons for him to want to be alone I just thought then that he wrote it for me and me alone… know how it is? when that one song reaches out to grab your heart and clutch your throat? knowing it was for you and your feelings he wrote? so my two brains talked away last night, through the misty haze of those long ago yesterdays straight through the Kokomo craze and all the smiles they've brought to me so go ahead, laugh and have fun with me, call me "beached babe" 'cause that's what I be… for my imagination can take the waving grain and I can see the surf roll in and when the wind is right smell the salt on the air, and in sunshine, walk the plains ~ there are times you'll see me smile like I've not a care… for the music lives on in the wind, and in my heart, and I take it then and share with impart, because I live again, and within the sound of the music's spin. 02.03.01 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 02-03-2001).] |

I just thought then that he wrote it for me and me alone… know how it is? when that one song reaches out to grab your heart and clutch your throat? knowing it was for you and your feelings he wrote? ========================= for my imagination can take the waving grain and I can see the surf roll in and when the wind is right smell the salt on the air, and in sunshine, walk the plains ~ there are times you'll see me smile like I've not a care… for the music lives on in the wind, and in my heart, and I take it then and share with impart, because I live again, and within the sound of the music's spin. ======================== ya know....I thought you looked tanner this morn  way way cool Sun ... you have captured the way it feels perfectly the way the "golden oldies" take us back and refresh our souls ... for me it was Jackson Browne,Van,Journey, or me girlie Linda Ronstadt... I so related to your lines about how you just knew they wrote for you... it did feel that way ..in Jackson's every word. way cool tribute to music that plays inside us forever... go back to the beach ... its the weekend baby later-beached-babe-gator lol [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 02-03-2001).] |

 No way I can top Janet Marie's reply, but this is definitely way cool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. That music does stay with you forever.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Way to roll, Sunshine! Yep, that's why my radio is always tuned to the 'golden oldies'....was the music actually better back then - or is it just our memories that give it meaning? (But how could anyone make memories with Rap?!) A great trip - I could feel the pulse! Lary |
