Would someone please upload "Golden Ribbons" to YouTube!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

The Loggins and Messina version, plskthxbai.

on edit, the lyrics:

GOLDEN RIBBONS
(Kenny Loggins/Jim Messina)
Loggins and Messina
Listen to the people crying
Hoping for the day they'll be free
I don’t have to tell you we're (they're) dieing
Just wake up, take a look, what do You see?
I see young men my own age in coffins
And mothers in tears for their sons*
And sweethearts and wives
Alone with their memories
And golden ribbon’s those fortunes of war
Thousands and thousands
Shall gather together
To seek and find the Way we all need
And the son will bring (backhanded glory) us together
Hallelujah
and rid ourselves of the pain we all see
We see young men our own age in coffins
And Mothers in tears for their sons
And Sweetheart’s and wives
Alone with their memories
And golden ribbon’s those fortunes of war
What does it to avail a man
To gain fortune
And lose his soul?

1. Does anyone around here even know this song?

or, am I sitting by myself in the 100 acre woods?

2. for the night crew

:kick:

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. I think I used to have that on a 45" RPM single

Wasn't it the B-side of "Your Mama Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock n Roll"??

Don't have any idea where the record is at the moment though, unfortunately. :(

4. I have it on the album ...

Whiskey
Your Mama Don't Dance
Long Tail Cat
Golden Ribbons
Thinking of You Just Before the News
Till the Ends Meet
Holiday Hotel
Lady of My Heart
Angry Eyes

you could be right...it very well could have been the B side to "Your Mama Don't Dance"

I truly wish someone would post it on YouTube. It is a great anti-war tune and it is hardly ever mentioned....
