Cleaning out my unfinished Drafts folder and found this. Apparently I forgot to post it, or at least I can’t find it anywhere.
Wonder what in the world distracted me that day. Oh well…here is a belated, off the wall, music post!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
so here’s my convoluted process…
With this theme I immediately thought of a great song from the Sixties. No surprise there, eh? But I got it wrong, thinking somehow the word “day” was a part of the song. It wasn’t. It was in the Group’s name…
Good song anyway…
In a golden cage
On a winter’s day
In the rain
In a golden cage
Alone
Across the long, black road
To the darkened skies
In it’s rage
Just sits in her cage
Unknown
Or she will die
Dreams of the aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
Just sits in her cage
Growing old
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
The sunsets go
The clouds roll by
And the earth turns old
And the young bird’s eyes
Do always glow
She must fly
She must fly
In a golden cage
On a winter’s day
In the rain
In a golden cage
Alone
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
But WAIT!! There’s more. Then, I thought of a song I used to LOVE that I thought was about a great “day”, which is was…sort of… Here’s a hysterical, lip-synced video, complete with Beatles haircut tossing, and white go-go boots!
You were on my mind
And you were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pains
Yeah, just to ease my pains
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I came home again
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mi-i-i-ind and
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
And I got a feelin’
Down in my sho-oo-oo-oes, said
Way down in my sho-oo-oes
Yeah, I got to ramble, whoa-oh
I got to move on, whoa-oh
I got to walk away my blues
When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind
But THEN…I spotted this great news clip video next to the video
What a great DAY it was for music back then! I loved it all!!
I’ll try to stop now……….
Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 4/1/18
Great songs .. I was in Nam when a bud handed me a reel to reel tape (remember those?) with It’s a beautiful day written across it and the now iconic picture of the woman with the blue sky and clouds. Me, being into Deep Purple and other rock bands, looked at the picture and thought .. what kind of junk is this? Then, with my pal’s encouragement, I threaded the tape into my machine and became an instant fan .. and this album and song has remained one of my all time favorites all these years. Thanks for the reminder.
