A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

ATF: Daily Escapes

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Dreamer
You know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head
Oh no
I said
Dreamer
You're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head
Oh no

I said
Far out
What a day
A year
A life it is
You know
Well you know
You had
It comin' to you
Now
There's not
A lot I can do

Dreamer
You stupid little dreamer
So now you put your head in your hands
Oh no

Woo

I said
Far out
What a day
A year
A life this is
You know
Well you know
You had
It comin' to you
Now
There's not
A lot I can do

Work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything
You want boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone
Celebrate boy
Well, if I could do something
You can do something
If I could do anything
But can you do something
Out of this world

Out of this world

Take a dream
On a Sunday
Take a life
Take a holiday
Take a lie
Take a dreamer
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream along

Dreamer
Dream
Dream along
C'mon
And dream
And dream along
C'mon
And dream
And dream along
C'mon
And dream
And dream along

Dreamer
You know you are a dreamer
C'mon
And dream
And dream along
C'mon
And dream
And dream along
Can you put your hands in your head
Oh no
C'mon

I said
Dreamer
You're nothing but a dreamer
C'mon
And dream
And dream
Along
C'mon
And dream
And dream
Along
Can you put your hands in your head
Oh no
Oh no

Hitch a Ride
Boston
Day is night in New York City
Smoke like water runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sunlight's another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

Ooooh
Yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sunlight's another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sunlight's another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

Dream Weaver
Gary Wright
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain

Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light

Dream weaver

Dream weaver



Dream On
Aerosmith
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know
Nobody knows
Where it comes
And where it goes
I know
It's everybody's sin
You got to lose
To know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me
Sing for the years
Sing for the laughter
And sing for the tears
Sing with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow
The good Lord’ll take you away

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for my laughter
And sing for the tear
Sing with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow
The good Lord’ll take you away

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Yeah

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for my laughter
And sing for the tear
Sing with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow
The good Lord’ll take you away
Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for my laughter
And sing for the tear
Sing with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow
The good Lord’ll take you away

ATF: Support Systems

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
The Hollies
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who
Knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
Oh yeah
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he
To bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
Oh no no
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

If I'm laden
At all
I’m laden
With sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love
For one another

It's a long long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way
To there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down
At all
Oh no
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

He’s my brother
Oh yes he is

He ain't heavy
He's my brother



Lean on Me
Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For
It won't be long
‘Til I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on
Please
Swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For
It won't be long
‘Til I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
If you ever need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
