This thread must include the singers or the bands name with the title.  A cover band or artist, waysider, is alright as long as it has received some play time on a mainstream radio station.  You know like, ~Pearl Jams~ version of "Last Kiss" originally recorded by Wayne Cochran in 1961.

little grammar error to fix

[waysider]

Thanks. I haven't been a regular player here for quite some time.

It's Edie Birkell and New Bohemians.

(AKA Mrs. Paul Simon)

[WordWolf]

Ok, between the 2 posts was all the correct info.  

Waysider's turn!

[waysider]

The eastern world, it is explodin'.

Violence flarin', bullets loadin'.

You don't believe in war? 

Then what's that gun you're totin'?

And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'.

I can "hear" this one, but I'm not getting the title.  I'd like to say, "It's the End of the World," but I'm pretty sure that's not it.

I've got the title, I'm not coming up with a complete name of the artist yet.  Gary or Gerry?  I don't know.  He was solo artist.

He was primarily a solo artist, but also cowrote and sang on a hit single for another singing group. At least 3 or 4 members of that group went on to celebrity status.

Okay Barry, then, "Eve of Destruction".  Maguire.  Barry Maguire.  I'm not sure of the group's name.  I have it on a CD called "The Spirit of the Sixties".   It's a really terrific CD with some of greatest 60's songs on it.

[waysider]

You are correct, sir. The group was called The New Christy Minstrels. Among the members were Glen Campbell, John Denver, Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes.

Next song:

"Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow"

[Human without the bean]

"Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow"

 

[Human without the bean]

"Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

"Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

I gather here then that nobody has a clue.

"She wanted truth
But all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun"

She's Come Undone by Guess Who

 

No, really, Guess Who.

[Human without the bean]

You guessed right waysider.

I know that's right, so I'm going.

"Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the wall of love is for"

Excellent inquiry.
