Name that Tune

They say there's always magic in the air

But when you're walkin' down that street

And you ain't had enough to eat

The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

But looking at them just gives me the blues

'Cause how ya gonna make some time

When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

George

When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

I will paint my picture

Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful

Gray is my favorite color

I felt so symbolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso

I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

I want to be a lion

Everybody wants to pass as cats

We all want to be big big stars, but we got different

reasons for that

Believe in me because I don't believe in anything

and I want to be someone to believe, yeah

"Begin the day with a friendly voice

A companion unobtrusive.

Plays that song that's so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood.

Off on your way, hit the open road

There is magic at your fingers

For the spirit ever lingers

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude."

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life.

Bright antennae bristle with the energy.

Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength

Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free."

All this machinery making modern music

Can still be open-hearted.

Not so coldly charted it's really just

A question of your honesty, yeah, your honesty.

One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah."

For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall.

Concert hall.

And echoes with the sounds of salesmen.

Of salesmen.

Of salesmen!"

This song has gotten airplay for over 30 years.

"He gets high on you

And the space he invades

He gets by on you.

No his mind is not for rent

To any god or government.

Always hopeful, yet discontent.

He knows changes aren't permanent...

But change is.

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society.

Catch the witness, catch the wit

Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is

Love and life are deep

Maybe as his eyes are wide."

"He gets high on you.

And the energy you trade

He gets right on to the friction of the day."

It's Rush I do recognize it. Not a big fan of theirs. IDK the name.

You're with me so far.

"Modern-day warrior, mean, mean stride"

"Though his mind is not for rent,

Don't put him down as arrogant.

His reserve, a quiet defense

Riding out the day's events.

The river.

What you say about his company

Is what you say about society.

Catch the mist, catch the myth.

Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is

Love and life are deep

Maybe as his skies are wide."

Ok, let's move this along.

It's Human's turn for naming the artist.

The first song was "The Spirit of Radio", and the second one was "Tom Sawyer."

Both are fairly well-known songs from classic rock.

At the moment, they're not fairly well-known among the posters at the GSC,

apparently.

Go, Human.

This place ain't doing me any good

I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag

Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too

Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

I've been walking forty miles of bad road

If the Bible is right, the world will explode

I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You can't win with a losing hand

A worried man with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne

Got white skin, got assassin's eyes

I'm looking up into the sapphire-tinted skies

I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

This place ain't doing me any good

I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

This is Bob Dylan guys. A great song. Dylan won an oscar (George is frowning sad.gif about now) for this song from the movie Wonder Boys. "Things Have Changed" I would have put the song up but my flash player is bonkers.

New song/tune.

Go on and close the curtains

'Cause all we need is candlelight

You and me, and a bottle of wine

To hold you tonight (oh)

Well we know I'm going away

And how I wish - I wish it weren't so

So take this wine and drink with me

And let's delay our misery

It sounded like it should have been Bob Dylan, at any rate.

Glad to know the reason it sounded that way.

BTW, with the title and artist of a song, it's usually not hard

to find one or several versions of the song on YT.

So, if you want, often you can post a link to a video.

------------------------------------------------

On the off-chance someone new recognizes the current song,

I'll wait a little before answering.

This one I remember as much from the video as the radioplay.

I'll link to that one once the answer is up, or I post it.
