John Lennon: #9 Dream
John Lennon
#9 Dream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-rstOjonZU So long ago Was it in a dream, was it just a dream? I know, yes I know Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me Took a walk down the street Thru the heat whispered trees I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear) Somebody call out my name as it started to rain Two spirits dancing so strange [Chorus] Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Dream, dream away Magic in the air, was magic in the air? I believe, yes I believe More I cannot say, what more can I say? On a river of sound Thru the mirror go round, round I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel) Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold The spirit dance was unfolding [Chorus] Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé [Outro] Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dare - Days Of Summer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A822VX9Fi4 I saw her dance by the fire On that summer night The smoke was rising higher Fading with the light Like a spirit in the wind Born to be free She smiled through the flames Come to me And I remember The sweet surrender The summer's still in my heart I'll always remember The days of summer The summer's still in her heart There we lay beside the light Until the early dawn We were ships in the night Lost in the storm She was taken by the wind Over the sea The long days of summer stay with me And I remember The sweet surrender The summer's still in my heart I'll always remember Smoke on the water The summer's still in my heart She was taken by the wind, born to be free And I won't forget her smile |

"Blizzard of '96" by the Walkmen.
It came on the radio as we took our dog to be put down, years ago. Its a sad song, Hamilton Leithouser was always a good one for an Irish wail, and somehow that song and that event are forever stuck together. I have no idea what the song is actually about -- the Blizzard of 96 was a real thing and buried the East Coast of the US, but this seems to be something to do with the writer's relationships-- but for me its that event, which I otherwise don't think about. . . if the song comes on, though . . .instantly sad. |

Lord Huron - In The Wind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aici3qwzDKE You've been gone for a long long time You've been in the wind, you've been on my mind You are the purest soul I've ever known in my life Take your time, let the rivers guide you in You know where you can find me again I'll be waiting here 'til the stars fall out of the sky When you left I was far too young To know you're worth more than the moon and the sun You are still alive when I look to the sky in the night I would wait for a thousand years I would sit right here by the lake, my dear You just let me know that you're coming home And I'll wait for you Years have gone but the pain is the same I have passed my days by the sound of your name Well they say that you're gone and that I should move on I wonder: how do they know, baby? Death is a wall but it can't be the end You are my protector and my best friend Well they say that you're gone and that I should move on I wonder: how do they know, baby? How do they know? Well, they don't |

If you want to try and understand the attitude of many white American Southerners I recommend you listen to "I'm a Good Old Rebel." Bad blood and hard feelings tend to filter down through generations. It ain't right, but it seems to be part of human nature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5EHpok66SU “You may forgive us but we won’t be forgiven. There is rancor in our hearts…which you little dream of. We hate you, sir.” General Henry Wise CSA to General Joshua Chamberlain USA - Appomattox, Virginia, April 1865. |

those white southerners should be pleased Northern capital brought them back from starvation and that the Reconstruction should have been tougher and whitey was let off the hook and went right back to killing free blacks....Chamberlain was generous after Little Round Top and helped wounded Rebs during that evening and night; the South may have some argument in certain states' right but the victory in 1865 and 1965, put an end to an romantic notion or practice of lynching-too bad it took 100 years. Now, b4 anyone gets all fired up, racism existed and exists in the North but the Union ended slavery and passed several voting rights act (and Ike sent Fed troops to Little Rock to stop the rednecks their stopping 9 students who wanted an equal education).
