Around the sun from going upriver lyircs

[JohnKleeb]

I want the sun to shine on me
I want the truth to set me free
I wish the followers would lead
with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees

Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming
Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off
Hold onto this boy a little longer
Take another trip around the sun

If I jumped into the ocean to believe
If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach?
Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe?
Give me a voice so strong
I can question what I have seen

Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming
Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off
Hold onto this boy a little longer
Take another trip around the sun

Around the sun
Around the sun
Around the sun
Let my dreams set me free.
Believe. believe.

1. do you know who sings it?

I'd like to download it.

[JohnKleeb]

2. Yes its REM

oh and if you have AIM, I can get it to you much quicker.

[Goldeneye]

3. I thought that might be it...

It was either REM or Jimmy Buffet w/ Martina McBride :o

Its already partially downloaded thanks for the offer though.

[JohnKleeb]

4. sure, took me a while to find it

[JohnKleeb]

6. it has such a cool sound to it

[Goldeneye]

7. I just watched going upriver over the internet

and I copied down all the songs at the end. I hope your song is in there if you havent found it yet.

Wandering Souls
Greenfields
Grazing in the Grass
Nowhere to Run
Machine Gun
Almost Cut my Hair
Long time gone
Dreams
Follow
Gimme some truth
Ballad of a Thin Man
When Johnny comes Marching Home
Daylight again
On the Road again
Trip around the Sun

I'm not sure why, but none of them had singers afterwards. I know Philip Glass did a lot of the composed a few of the songs. Hope this helps.

9. If it's the one when he starts Yale

It's Grazing in the Grass - it also was a song that had lyrics but I don't remember the artist - I think it's very early 60s.

[JohnKleeb]

10. no not that one

the one where he is a kid, not a college student, but thanks, I found grazing in the grass :). Oh and welcome.

11. Greenfields

The song is Greenfields. A vocal version was by the brothers Four. I love the music used for "Going Upriver". (I couldn't check yesterday because my kids were monopolizing the DVD player. We were snowed in yesterday and my high school senior on Saturday prepared for the snow by inviting her best friend to stay over with us and getting several DVDs from the video store.) (I googled some of the lyrics that I remembered when I heard the instrumental - "Once there were valleys" and got the lyrics.)

I have been reading this group since November. I really had enjoyed following the campaign reading the Kerry/Edwards blog and loved that they listed when people were on C-Span or other channels. Between the blog, C-Span, and reading Tour of Duty, and Call to Service. Rather than an exceptional politician (like Clinton), Kerry was a unique, brilliant statesman who could be seen as the conscience of his generation. It was hard, especially after the euphoria of thinking he won on November 2, to face the reality of November 3.

I've especially enjoyed reading the Massachusetts comments as my daughter will be going to Holy Cross next year.

12. I know someone who goes to 'The Cross'

Wonderful school. You'll like it. Worcester is not a bad town, there are concerts and clubs and stuff.

Ask away on any questions... will do my best or punt to someone else.

[karynnj]

13. Thanks,

She loved the school when she visited in the summer and after she interviewed in November she really was positive it was where she wanted to be. In the past, we've vacationed in Massachusetts (Boston, Cape Cod and the Berkshires) and have been impressed by both the people and the beauty of the state. (Not to mention, she'll be represented by two of the country's best senators! (Laughtenburg and Corzine - her current senators - are good too.)

[JohnKleeb]

14. Thanks

I found a ok version but the version in the movie is cooler, its actually done by Kerry's band, the electras I see.
