This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby
little hands on (so to speak). Now, each
one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit
only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to
make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous
by nature.

The Morning After
Maureen McGovern
There's got to be a
morning after
If we can hold on
through the night
We have a chance to
find the sunshine
Let's keep on
lookin’ for the light
Oh can't you see
the morning after
It's waiting right
outside the storm
Why don't we cross
the bridge together
And find a place
that's safe and warm
It's not too late
We should be giving
Only with love can
we climb
It's not too late
Not while we're
living
Let's put our hands
out in time
There's got to be a
morning after
We're moving closer
to the shore
I know we'll be
there by tomorrow
And we'll escape
the darkness
We won't be
searchin’ anymore
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There’s got to be a
morning after

Solsbury Hill
Peter Gabriel
Climbin’ up on
Solsbury Hill
I could see the
city light
Wind was blowin’
Time stood still
Eagle flew out of
the night
He was something to
observe
Came in close
I heard a voice
Standin’
Stretchin’
Every nerve
Had to listen
Had no choice
I did not believe
the information
I just had to trust
imagination
My heart goin’
Boom
Boom
Boom
Son
He said
Grab your things
I’ve come to take
you home
To keep in silence
I resigned
My friends would
think I was a nut
Turnin’ water into
wine
Open doors would
soon be shut
So I went from day
to day
Thought my life was
in a rut
‘Til I thought of
what I’d say
Which connection I
should cut
I was feelin’ part
of the scenery
I walked right out
of the machinery
My heart goin’
Boom
Boom
Boom
Hey
He said
Grab your things
I’ve come to take
you home
Yeah
Back home
When illusion spins
her net
I’m never where I
want to be
And liberty she
pirouette
When I think that I
am free
Watched by empty
silhouettes
Who close their
eyes but still can see
No one taught them
etiquette
I will show another
me
Today I don’t need
a replacement
I’ll tell them what
the smile on my face meant
My heart goin’
Boom
Boom
Boom
Hey
I said
You can keep my
things
They’ve come to
take me home

Way back when I was in high school I bought a 45 that had the theme from Poseidon Adventure on it. The B side had The morning after. I LOVED that song. Played it over and over
ReplyDeleteThat song always made me feel - deeply. I am not sure why. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! I do not recall knowing that it was from The Poseidon Adventure before seeing a reference to is in Maureen's profile. Wow, it is truly an awesome song sung very, very well by her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Sandie!!! Which one?
ReplyDeleteI've not heard these two songs in a long time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Neither have I--in regards to over the radio or on television, but my Editor keeps track of everything.
