What Song Are You *Feeling* Right Now?

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks for the info. I was unaware of this project. My Beatles obsession ended when I was still a teenager. Growing up in New York and being a very sensitive child, I was profoundly affected by John's death. These posts have re-kindled my interest.

You and me both. I was profoundly affected by John's death. I remember being obsessed with this song:

Empty Garden
Elton John


*Stick with me because I play all sorts of Beatles and have some good documentary links.

Oh, man those opening lyrics really reminded me of that winter. I would be hypnotized, hearing "Happy Christmas" on the radio and when it was over I couldn't wait to hear it again

*I started to suspect you were a serious Beatles fan when I saw lyrics from Abbey Road in your signature

We were talking
About the space between us all
And the people
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking
About the love we all could share
When we find it
To try our best to hold it there
With our love, with our love
We could save the world
If they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking
About the love that's gone so cold and the people
Who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know
They can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you



Within You Without You
Beatles (George)

^ I really appreciated that post, honeytoast.

I had never heard that tune before but it is a good one. It has such a happy feel to it.

He sank into their calculations
And snorted on the stench
Of their arithmetic
Looked for the boy who was hanging his head low
More trophies than ideas, to follow their pretense
With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face
He followed with obedience
And fell in the nettles
Afterwards those spikey whispers said he bought his own rope
And skipped the bits they loathed
Didn't scramble to find a dock leaf to capture back our hope
To advice his mind had closed
He lost all of his footholes
And with a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face
He followed with obedience
And fell in the nettles
He was a toothpick
And the garlic and the cinder upon the path
Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse
Clinging to the doorframe he was dragged
Off to a reminder of where he had been
With a smile in his pocket
And a scowl on his face
He had nowhere to flee
So sat content in the nettles
