Name that Tune

[wasway]

Ask Rose... bet she'll know if you should make a friendly wager

[waysider]

Thank you for the friendly advise, Wasway. :)

[Ca_dreaming]

Waysider your up, Cause You Go Have Friends!

[waysider]

Friends---------( Ya gotta have 'em)

At least that's what The Divine Miss M (Bette Mittler) says.

Above the hills, higher than eagles we're gliding

Suspended in the sky

Over the hill, straight for the sun we were riding.

My eyes filled with light behind those black walls.

Below was a bottomless canyon.

Floating with no sound, ghosts far below seemed to be suddenly rising, exploding all around.

[wasway]

boy WS you sure tend to lean to the obscure..Luckily (or maybe not so luckily) I was obsessed by music as a teen. anyway, I think that I can find this horse..

[Tom Strange]

great song! one of my faves...

[waysider]

Wasway-------Don't forget to give her your brand.

T. Strange----One of my favorites too.(Even though it has no bongos )

NEXT!!!

[wasway]

I have to leave for work butr before I go I wanted to leave ya'll with this

We all want to prepare you

The unbelievable is going to happen

It will linger in your mind forever

Let this carry you wherever - wherever

[waysider]

I haven't a clue, but when I see the answer I'll probably go

[wasway]

Looks like I got a tough one...

So here's another verse

Removing all your inhibitions

Releasing complete freedom of thought

Sensations of ev'ry sense will prepare

With this you will see ev'ry thing.

Andd the album its from was titled "HEAVY"

[waysider]

"Heavy",I think, was a product of Iron Butterfly but the tune still evades me.

Inna Gadda Da Vida was one of those tunes that broke the "3 minute rule", along with Light My Fire by The Doors.

[Tom Strange]

are we doing Raf's or Wasway's?

If it's Raf's, it's Don Henley and "all she wants to do is dance"

If it's Wasway's I don't know any more than that I think waysider is on to something...

[wasway]

You on the right track WS The song was "unconsious Power" IB's first single.. There are no more verses except '...Its the unconcious power" between the 2 verses and at the end

[wasway]

somebody go i gotta go to work

Here's one from our youth:

I should have known you'd bid me farewell

There's a lesson to be learned from this, and I learned it very well

Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea

If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

[waysider]

Tom S.---------We did this one about a month or so ago.(Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle)

ChattyKathy did some cool stuff on her post.

How about another one from the same era?

[Tom Strange]

OK... did she mention it was co-written by Paul Simon? I've got another one.

[Tom Strange]

I don't know if it's quite as far back as "Red Rubber Ball" but how about this:

Now, when i talked to god i knew he'd understand

He said, "stick by my side and i'll be your guiding hand

But don't ask me what i think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to"

Should be pretty easy for this crowd...

[waysider]

Quite an excellent choice, Mr. Strange. The guy who penned this one has been quite active in the past decade cranking out some pretty decent blues, having departed from the group that made this tune a hit.The name of his subsequent band is a bit amusing in light of what has been discussed on this here forum as of late.

[wasway]

sounds like its something by Mick and the girls

[Tom Strange]

sounds like its something by Mick and the girls

I don't really recall if "the girls" were around yet then... at least not the blonde one...

[wasway]

I think that there was just one...the witch was with Lindsay then, If i remember correctly

[waysider]

This is somewhat

Jeremy Spencer has a new release. Somewhat generic but not too bad, all in all.

Sorry, it was a fleeting thought that popped in my head.

Tom Strange-------Paul Simon co-wrote "Red Rubber Ball"?

Who'dda thunk it?

More stuff!!

Peter Green Was Really Good

Bob welch was better

All that stuff they did in the late 70's wasnt as good as

It's the same kind of story

That seems to come down from long ago

Two friends having coffee together

When something flies by their window

It might be out on that lawn

Which is wide, at least half of a playing field

Because there's no explaining what your imagination

Can make you see and feel

[waysider]

I kinda lost track. Is that the next post or an aside?

BTW---Peter Green's band that I referred to was------------Splinter Group!-------now that's irony!
