Step into the velvet of the morning
I've always wished I could write songs. It must be so cool to take the ramblings of your mind and transform them into something that others can really identify with. Take one of my favorite artists for example...(This would be Stevie Nicks for those of you playing at home)
Step into the velvet of the morning
Let yourself lay back within your dreams
Take on the situation but not the torment
Now you know its not as bad as it seems
I thought of this song this morning right as the clock went off. Step into the velvet of the morning... nothing seemed velvet to me today, but, like she says, I know its not as bad as it seems. Here's a rockin' one for ya:
And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered
What a cool little diddy Edge of 17 is! Stevie is the bomb, plan and simple. She's so cool, in fact, that DC sampled the hook for their infamous "Bootylicious".
Here's another great one.
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
I don't know
Could you say it any better? Can you sum up what it's like to deal with change any better than that? Landslide has been played at countless graduations and covered numerous times -- most recently by the Dixie Chicks. (go out right now and buy their newest, "Home") ((ok, read the rest of this first, then go buy it))
Of course there are some that I just don't get, like the title cut off her latest release, Trouble in Shangri-la:
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La
I run through the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I get that it's about trouble in paradise, but the verses I just don't get. Anyway, there you have it. My rant for the day, I wish I could write songs. (I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller -- any of y'all that really know me, know what I'm sayin'!!) And the rest of you song birds out there do, too. Think 1995, novelty hit....
