It’s only words …

I SHOULD OPEN BY STATING THAT Ceeteejackson.com IS THE SOLE AUTHORIZED HOME OF MY WRITING.

Talk about making a rod for my own back?!

I’ve mentioned before, I’m not big on song lyrics. The kind of music I listen to is loud, fast-faced, beat-laden and would have me bopping around my living room like an idiot fed on a diet of energy drinks and green Smarties.

So, I wasn’t too surprised when one evening, as we binge-watched music programmes on You Tube or whatever, my wife Diane had a wee dig at my choices.
“This is rubbish! It’s just a noise! You can’t even make out any of the words!”
(And yes, all the exclamation marks were in her voice.)

“I like other stuff as well, you know,” I sort of feebly protested.
“Aye, right – like what? Quote me some lyrics from a song that have stuck with you forever.”

It was a Saturday night. We’d had a few drinks. You know how it goes? Well … OK I’d had a few beers. I panicked. (I hate to ‘lose’ our wee ‘debates’ – especially if music-related.)

Powered by Tennants lager, my brain quickly fired up.

“Desperado,’ by The Eagles,” I quicky, and as it turned out, rather rashly volunteered.

“Why?”

“Because I can identify with the lyrics. Or at least some of them. I just love the poetic imagery and sentiment of:

‘Don’t you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able.
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.’

“How do you mean?”

I blame the beer – I should have seen that pothole in the road ahead; a pothole that would be the size of the Grand Canyon when I arrived at the edge a few moments later.

Don’t drink and think, kids!

“Well, I think what they mean is for us blokes not to fall for a girl because she is purely beautiful and glitzy. What they’re saying is that perhaps someone who is more plain looking but has a more caring soul …. “

Oh crap!

It was like an ‘out of body experience.’ As the words spilled out my mouth, the air in the room turned chilly. A bundle of metaphorical tumbleweed rolled across the living room floor.

“No, wait! What I mean is …”

Boy! Did that take some explaining. And pleading! (Actually, I think Diane reveled in my discomfort, and prolonged it for a totally unnecessary length of time.)

But is it any wonder the lyrics to ‘Desperado’ WILL remain with me forever?

Sheesh!

Restlessness

A Monday Monday Song

I’ve been thinking lately about what I need.
There’s so much wrapped up in me.
I’m tired of being split in two.
Has the dye been caste or can
I melt into someone new?

I need to simplify find some order to this mess
but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

The taste of my life is bittersweet
like this wine-soaked rag they force on me.
I’m caught between earth and sky
I can’t connect to either.
Eloi. Eloi. Why?

I need to simplify find some order to this mess
but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

It seems I am always cleaning my temple.
I’m always cleaning house,
trying to throw the money hangers out . . .

Phil Collins - I Wish It Would Rain Down ​:nttrainbow:​ ​:rainbowright:​

https://u2be.ovh/w/c9aDLGsDNpNcpxneWVokiQ?start=0s&autoplay=1

"I Wish It Would Rain Down" is a song from Phil Collins` 1989 album "...But Seriously", featuring Eric Clapton.

You know I never meant to see you again
But I only passed by as a friend, yeah
All this time I stayed out of sight
I started wonderin' why

Now I
Ooh, now I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain on me

You said you didn't need me in your life
Oh, I guess you were right, yeah
Ooh, I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again, yeah

Now I (ooh)
Now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me (ooh)
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain, rain down on me now (ooh)
Ooh, girl, I wish it would rain down, down on me (ooh)
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain on me

Though your hurt is gone
Mine's hangin' on inside, and I know
Well, it's eating me through, it's eating me through every night and day
I'm just waitin' on your sign!

'Cause I know, I know, I never meant to cause you no pain
And I realize I let you down, oh yeah
But I know in my heart of hearts
I know I'm never gonna hold you again, no

Now I (ooh)
Well, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me (ooh)
Well, you know I wish it would rain, rain down on me now (ooh)
Ooh, yes, I wish it would rain down, down on me (ooh)
Yes, you know I wish it would rain down, rain down over me (rain)

Just rain down over me
Just let it rain down (rain), let it rain down (rain)
Let it rain down (rain), oh yeah
Let it rain down (rain)
Rain down over me

Just let it rain down (rain), just let it rain down (rain)
Let it rain down (rain)
Just let it rain!

Song Lyric Sunday

Good Morning! My two week vacation at the end of April turned into extended leave from blogging. I must admit I enjoyed the break. It may become a habit! We will see. Anyway I missed you guys at SLS and this week’s prompt was one I really wanted to do.

So here we are on Song Lyric Sunday and the challenge today is to find a song that includes the act of depending, leaning, relying or trusting another. It reminded me of a Jackson Browne song called the “The Load Out” which he wrote out of appreciation for his road crews when they were on tour. The artist relies heavily on others to get them all where they need to be, on time, set up and ready to rock ‘n’n roll. It’s a really nice song and I found this great video of JB and others doing to song during load out. If you’re a Jackson Browne fan you will enjoy this personal, intimate performance.

https://youtu.be/tNCuwUSPias?si=jwEK_f3lZHcl16Sm

The Song

Browne wrote this rambling piece as an affectionate tribute to the roadies, assistants and staff who help him take his show on the road, setting up and taking down his stage sets and moving his instruments (a process known as “the load-out”). He often played it at the end of each performance, usually with his cover of “Stay.”

The songs on the Running on Empty album were recorded live in various settings. “The Load-Out” was recorded at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland during a show on August 27, 1977. The song was something Browne had been working on with his band – Danny Kortchmar (guitar), Russ Kunkel (drums), David Lindley (various instruments), and Leland Sklar (bass). They didn’t have an arrangement they liked, but when Browne did three encores at the show, they found themselves out of material but still hankering to play. Kunkel suggested they play the song and see what happens. The resulting performance was so good that it made the album. This was just the second time the band played the song in concert.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Browne described “The Load-Out” as “a love song to the audience and the crew.” When it transitions to “Stay,” that’s the band asking the audience to stick around because they want to keep playing.

Browne was very tight with his road crew, especially Donald “Buddha” Miller, who was both his crew chief and his manager. In a radio interview, he talked about what the roadies went through to earn his respect: “These guys work really hard, and in those days they made practically the minimum wage. They used to drive around, six guys in a camper. They’d be leaving the gig and you’d see them crawling into this little space, getting ready for an eight-hour drive to the next gig.”

Songfacts

The Lyrics

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know

Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
And haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still wanna play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're ready to go
We gotta drive all night and do the show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
'Til those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Writer/s: BRYAN GAROFALO, JACKSON BROWNE

Head and Feet Blues (SONG)

One of my favorites when Jeremiahs Run was still performing live.

This is a story about a man who split himself in two.
One part stayed the same the other just grew and grew.
One part stayed in one place, the other up and joined the ratrace.
He had his head in one place and his feet in another.

Head in one place feet in another. You got your head in one place, your feet in another. Your heart’s disconnected one way or the other. Head in one place feet in another.

The part that never changed was always true,
it was always old and the growing part was always new.
While one part was dying from entropy the other part was dying from too much speed,
Head in one place feet in another.

Head in one place feet in another. You got your head in one place, your feet in another. Your heart’s disconnected one way or the other. Head in one place feet in another.

I heard a story about a man who split himself in two.
One part stayed the same, the other just grew and grew.
I got to wondering when the story was through which part was me and which part was you.
Head in one place feet in another

Head in one place feet in another. You got your head in one place, your feet in another. Your heart’s disconnected one way or the other. Head in one place feet in another.

We’ve been taught to call it love, but what if it’s just another high? From “you don’t get me high anymore” to “I don’t know how to live without this,” the language hasn’t changed but the substance has. If you need someone to function, that’s not romance.

The new Sturgill Simpson song “Make America Fuck Again” includes these lyrics:

Getting my heart broke by people I trusted
Weaponizing my autism to shit out an opus
Been coming to terms with my obsolescence
Taking ketamine to kill my depression
Beats being fogged out on antidepressants
Wait, that reminds me, time to book another session

You're reminding me, TheJen, of how Trump used to recite the words of Oscar Brown Jr's song, "The Snake," at his rallies circa his first term.
I personally think he was fucking with us as he signalled what he was going to do to the people foolish enough to vote for him.
