| The Byrds – Draft Morning Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
For me the best anti-war song of all time and one of the best of the byrds discography.
A soldier takin' consciousness of his acting and the aftermath only by sayin'himself...killing,why should it happen!
war is over...if you want! |

| The Beach Boys – Little Pad Lyrics

In these current days is in the shops "The Smile Session" and apart from saying that it is such an experience to listen,song like this ("Little Pad")and "Gettin' Hungry" are great missing.
Moreover the "Smiley Smile" version of "Wonderful" is as much intriguing and intense as "Smile session".

Funny song! keyboard line is so powerful and minimal,vocals are just impressive and articulated
.Jimi hendrix never understood the beach boys spirit ,before his famous quoting I considered him a limitless guitarist a wide-ranging artist.....maybe he wasn't.
Duran Duran captured that spirit well with "Hungry like the wolf".

This song is timeless...I've always been impressed by the line.."we could live forever tonight,let's not think about tomorrow" where the lovers belong to a "perfect moment" crystallized in the present,no memory of the past no consideration for the future. |

It comes too easy for me to pair this song to another one,"wind of change" (M.I.U. 10/02/1978) because of the concept in it.The craving for a new horizon,leaving the past behind along with its bad feelings,waiting for a new scenario or a set of situation that enable a rearrengement of our living. |

A classic!..it would have been fantastic if the Beach Boys had covered even "California Sun"(Jimmy lee) in the early lp and I'll always be askin' my self why they didn't.....no other song would have represented the Beach Boys spirit better! |

One of the most charismatic song of the boys I would say,I literally adore the guitar solo after the line "...been so long.." and the attitude of the entire tune;casually notice that the synth opening for the song is briefly similar to the one of "don't worry baby"...."20/20" lp is a masterpiece! |

FROM THE LP "FRIENDS" & "20/20"(1968-1969) TWOFER BONUS TRACKS.Really a great track by Denny...it refers to a period of transition or simply an optimistic way to look at life to that moment.By the way i really say this song (properly developed and adjusted)would have perfectly fit in the 20/20 lp! |

From the album 20/20 (1969)....I'm so affected to this instrumental track in a way I can't describe,it makes you instantly fly to another dimension and squeezes your soul until it pours all the emotion!
It's the case in which a song make you really suffer,for a non certain reason from inside,but at the same time it set free your spirit. |

This is one of my favourite song on TODAY..it's simply romantic how Brian tell us about his relationship
with his girlfriend and how he recognize his fragility in front of her ability to understand his mind
or mood. |

| The Byrds – Lazy Waters Lyrics
| 12 years ago
|
I think the concept of this song is similar to the one of "going back"(the notorious byrd lp).The line "Oh, to be wise again"(related to the childhood) is strictly tied up with the line "going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth"(going back).Lazy waters means a phisical/spiritual place to be in a real contact with the magic of life,maybe limited to the childhood;this period of life is seen by the Byrds as centerpiece in a person existance,the real,spontaneous approach to the things that happen around you,not filtered by the social convention,hypocrisy,routine.The singer says with languid regret that when he moved to the city he concealed in his "pocket" that magic,sure that he would preserve that in the adult period.So in Younger then yesterday's "going back" (a cover song)the Byrds
feeling is less pessimistic since oneself is able to retrieve the lost feeling of beeing a young girl or boy and....going back with the spirit,make of everyday a magic carpet ride;finally the message,at least for this song is: thinking young and growing older is no sin (younger then yesterday ..in fact).
I think I�m going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth
I think I�m returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time when I wasn�t ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I�ve got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there�s more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I�m goin� back
Now there�s more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I�m goin� back

Beautiful intro for the GOOD lp "friends"(24 july 1968)....."there peace in my mind,and I'm hoping that you'll find it too"...this heartfelt line seems a message for the listener....for the world.most of the songs permeate with hope and tranquillity,I especially love ""Busy Doin' Nothin'" in that bossa nova style (..Astrud Gilberto is my favourite!)and the crystalline "Diamond Head"..the rest of the songs are.... simply unforgettable! |

the message of the song is decidedly clear.The beautiful part here is after the starting tongue-twister/litany/mantra..."on and on she go dumb bay do da"....then the band flourish with a joyful chorus.."with me,tonight I know you're with me tonight"....structured...I would say...as a prayer! |

| The Beach Boys – 'Til I Die Lyrics

This song tries to explain effectively what it feel to be on a free falling at a point of our life...a person disoriented or completed adrift from the world surrounding him..."a corck on the ocean... a leaf on a tree..a rock in a landslide".But I don't agree with "the swing king" considering this album "a dark and generally forgettable period of Beach Boys music",I love the "beach/surf & girls" world of the band
but I also consider that an improved formula for "cash in"(most of the songs in the early teenage albums are fillers tha handle the same subject)so when the boys chose other arguments they blossomed albums like 20/20 - FRIENDS - sunflowers- smile -pet sounds and surf'up. |

I like the "soul heart" approach on this song and the whole style of the album(Wild Honey 1967 USA),because it's like a new turning for the boys after "Smile" (although the two lp have a lot to share each other) ..and a mouthful of fresh air for the listener. |

A quite enigmatic minute episode in the life of a person who interpret the presence of a little sparrow as a sign ("he came to my window").Maybe the byrd's gonna tell him something,but the narrator just turn back and start running away stumblin' down after watchin'the sparrow for few seconds and being completely upset by something...then the final consideration .."From their eyes...The people must look like miniature toys";this is a simple and sudden reflection on his life..on the whole human race that with all his complessity appears as an harmless thing for a child pleasure.Apparently a vacuous song,to me emanates a glow of magic and spirituality as well..an unknown gem...WELL DONE BEACH BOYS!! |

| Syd Barrett – Octopus Lyrics

TO ME IT'S LIKE A ROMANTIC-MERRY-GO-ROUND OF FREE FLOW OF CONSCIENCE WHERE SYD SEEMS AN AGITATED,EXCITED CHILD WHO LET HIMSELF OVERWELMED BY HIS OWN DREAMLIKE,OBSCURE FANTASIES.WHERE HE PERFORMS .."close our eyes to the octopus ride!Isn't it good to be lost in the wood"..."the winds they blew and the leaves did wag and they'll never put me in their bag" FOR ME IS A TATEMENT OF PROUD INDIVIDUALITY AND A DEEP SENSE OF STRAY FROM SOCIETY.THE KEY WORDS IN THIS SONG ARE "TRIP" (A FRANTIC,LOOSE TRIP) GENERATED NOT BY PILLS (JEFFERSON AIRPLANE)OTHERWISE BY AN ALTERED STATE OF MIND THAT LEADS YOU TO A SECRET PLACE WHERE TO BE REAL HAPPY(LIKE IN THE CHILDHOOD!),THEN "LOST" AS IF HE HAD THE NECESSITY TO ROAM IN A LABIRINTH (WOOD = INFINITE) JUST TO KEEP HIMSELF (OR THEMSELF, BY THE MOMENT HE SPEAKS TO A MADAM BESIDE HIM) AWAY FROM AN ORDINARY WORLD,OR THE ORDINARY,GREY PART OF HIS MIND.AT LAST I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A SUBTLE ASSONANCE WITH BEATLES "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER"...."LIVIN'IS EASY WITH EYES CLOSE,MISUNDERSTANDING ALL YOU SEE",
HERE TOO,THE STATEMENT OF STRAYING FROM REALITY TO CREATE THEIR OWN BETTER WORLD, AND HERE TOO , THEY INVITE TO FOLLOW THEM AS A fellow traveller. |
