18. For a Spanish Guitar -- Gene Clark

These are my favorite verses:


And the workings of sunshine and rain
And the visions they paint that remain
Pulsate from my soul through my brain
In a Spanish guitar

The beggar whom sits in the street
On his miserable throne of defeat
Envisions no wealth there to meet
Thinking nowhere is far

And the laughter of children employed
By the fantasies not yet destroyed
By the dogmas of those they avoid
Knowing not what they are

And the right and the wrong and insane
And the answers they cannot explain
Pulsate from my soul through my brain
In a Spanish guitar

To play on a Spanish guitar
With the sun shining down where you are
Skipping and singing a bar
From the music around

Just to laugh through the columns of trees
To soar like a seagull in breeze
To stand in the rain if you please
Or to never be found

_______________

[Lindsay]

53. Nice to meet another Gene Clark fan.

His "Set You Free This Time" absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it, and I was a lifelong fan ever since.

[Hoyt]

59. My favorite singer/songwriter, but a tragic life. Guess that's why his songs are so good.

20. In politics, "Fly Like an Eagle." With business and family, "Renegades."

[socdem60]

23. Paul Simon

Still Crazy after All These Years.

[NNadir]

24. My wife has made my life worth living, and so were I to have a theme song...

...it would be, "You are so beautiful."

Had I not fallen in love with her, and had she not reciprocated, I would not have survived these last 35 years.

[DFW]

48. Exactly the same goes for me, and so:

I also posted this in the valentine music thread. Now 45 years old, this is still me.........

[NNadir]

49. Yes, I've seen your posts about your love for your wife.

We are fortunate to have marriages like ours.

I wake up every morning full of thanks, and I see you do as well.

[DFW]

50. Indeed

I may be stupid, but I'm not THAT stupid.

[liberaltrucker]

25. "A Pirate Looks at Forty"- Jimmy Buffett (I'm now 65)

"Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of them dream, most of them dream

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last"

[nolabear]

46. I love that song. He's pretty much looking at seventy now.

[liberaltrucker]

47. I'm gonna be in your old neck of the woods March 17-20

31. There are 4 songs that are close to my heart and three descibe me at one point or another in my life

The three that describe me are: Sound of Silence ( Simon and Garfunkel )
The Price ( Twisted Sister )
The Unforgiven ( Metallica )

The one that I just love is: Green Fields of France ( specifically The High Kings version. )

Those are the only songs that I could never hear enough to get sick of.

33. Deacon Blues

It was my personal theme back when I was in my twenties.

[IcyPeas]

35. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles

[Iggo]

[The Figment]

37. This...

[Coventina]

38. "The Mayor of Simpleton" by XTC

It's my life's theme song:

[Corgigal]

39. For over a year, i listened to this song daily.

My daughter was going through a really dark time, and I was so worried. I was trying to allow her to work it through herself, and for me, momma, not to step in. One of my hardest times. We're all good now, but for awhile, I just wasn't sure.

[red dog 1]

42. "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" -- The Kinks

(Wasn't able to post the You Tube link)


That pretty well sums me up!

[mopinko]

43. well, it's an- our song. but

it is a very strange set of circumstances. this is deeply morbid humor.

but it is a fine romance, anyway.

[mulsh]

44. I'm getting to this point

[First Speaker]

45. They're Coming to Take Me Away...

[4TheArts]

51. River of Dreams

We all end in the ocean,
We all start in the stream.
In high school (1965) my buddies an I thought Cast Your Fate to the Wind was our theme. Little did we know.

[lisby]

52. It Don't Come Easy -- Ringo Star

I'm going to have that song played as my coffin is lowered into the Earth.

[True Dough]

54. Because I keep

awaiting the "ban hammer" from the DU mods, I'll go with:

Ha ha! That's not actually the reason. I just love the upbeat tempo and Freddie's spirit. This song always makes me feel better about my day. My wife loves it too.

[mainstreetonce]

55. The Dance

Garth Brooks

[lark]

57. I have lived my life on 3 tracks.

The track for my 20s and 30s is "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles.

I got smarter, moved away from our druggie friends and quit the coke at 40. My life since then is mainly "Our House" by CSNY.

When I had cancer and was struggling with a 6 month staph infection and non-stop excruciating pain, my life was Lenny Kravitzs I Want to Get Away". Thank God that nightmare ended after 2 years and I was able to return back to "Our House".

[Wounded Bear]

60. First one that came to mind...

The Boxer

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared,
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know.

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie la la lie
