Amen to that. Each song can take you somewhere. And yes Paul Simon's new album is very impressive, I definetly hear that connection to Graceland mentioned in some reviews. He really is a talented artist with a long and creative career. I'll bet each of his songs take him to some interesting places.
Music as transportation and time machine..
One car in the driveway, another car, four motorcycles, and seven bicycles in the garage and still my favorite means of transportation is music in the living room. I hope the rest of you enjoy traveling the world through music as much as I do. Small club, big hall, foreign and domestic, ancient and current etc. Safer than a motorcycle! Anybody happen to listen to Paul Simon's first solo album lately? I love "Armistice Day". The rest of it, too. One of my first (and still) favorite albums.

"Music" is my time machine and "The Age of Aquarius" was my favorite time. This extends roughly from the late 60's through the mid 70's; everybody "hung loose". When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius Age of Aquarius Aquarius! Aquarius! Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions Golden living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revelation And the mind's true liberation Aquarius! Aquarius! That time passed in such a blur, that music and vague memories are all I have; but they were the most colorful memories of my life. Santana, Janis Joplin and many rock bands were hot at that time; and "The flavor of the month" was not in reference to ice cream. That time is in such contrast to this time, that I frequently turn my music machine on and go through the looking glass back to that time. |
Blanket Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes The dull, the dark Shades on my day I live inside this play Locked up inside my metal cage Always tense and filled with rage Above the concrete fields below With you I wanna go, wanna go Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket I see only what I wanna see I'll be only what I wanna be yeah-ah My blanket covers me, yeah Yeah (check it) Now as a human I was party-poppin, breakin on the lino Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro But now my ends are meetin' in the best way that I know Tk Tss Ksh and the beast that goes BOOM See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom All the beats and melodies they keep realities at bay But what happen when the record drummin' start to fade away Alone within myself again I try to veil away my pain The dirty grey surrounding me 'round And now I hear no sounds... I feel like Melly Mel from way back in the days As I wonder how I keep from going under I got trouble on my mind like my name is Chuck D And like Marvin Gaye it makes me wanna holler But when the music hits me I feel no pain That's why I got to put you on again and again I take the needle off the Technics And put it in my vein All my troubles get crushed As the rush hits my brain And away .. goes .. trouble.. down the drain I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket You are my living world You are my living world You are you are you are my My only living world.... |
