Spanish Harlem was going to be The place I would find my life The words just seemed So beautiful Yet, now I have seen It is an illusion As are rose trees in the City At least until you find The ways to make them And your dreams as well And yet those lights Neon bright and colored Flashing on a Broadway night And it is there I shall sing those songs Once the tunes are given free And yet still I thank Him for all People and places I have found I shall join them In their morning prayers To the midnight sun For in their world They see not the sky And know not Each to a one If their world Is in darkness or in light Ok, Ok... maybe Imagine is my favorite, however I was watching Almost Famous again tonight, and this song stuck with me. We are all equal but we’re individually different |

" . . .Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers Turn around and say good morning to the night For unless they see the sky But they can't and that is why They know not if it's dark outside or light . . ." Ahh nice job, I ADORE that tune and the movie *smile* xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (09-30-2003 10:07 AM).] |

 (smiles) Oh Bradly, this time I couldn't find some posters or pictures of the songwriters of this catchy tune (LOL!) but I have seen Almost Famous and Kate Hudson is great in that, sweet friend, hey, I'm going to see School of Rock this weekend, Jack Black is the man, yee-haw, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ringo, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

beautifully vivid. thank you, though I'm not a tv fan so the reference eludes me. and though I appreciate the reference to city nights, having lived the The City, San Francisco, it does remind me of why I live in the big MT Peace, Joe |

Passing shadows- Thanks. It is a great song, isn't it?? Susan- you forgot to add the words "better than Ringo" to your humming!! lol Thank you for reading this. Noah- NO PICTURES???? I'm insulted!!!! lol Just kidding. You are too kind. Thanks. And I plan on taking my son to see School of Rock this weekend. Joe. The song Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters was written by Elton John and was used in the movie "Almost Famous" a couple of years ago. It is one in almost every musician's library. Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We are all equal but we’re individually different |
