People Got To Be Free |

Favorite Line(s): | |
All the world over, so easy to see | |
People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free) | |
I can’t understand it, so simple to me | |
People everywhere just got to be free | |
If there’s a man | |
Who is down and needs a helpin’ hand | |
All it takes is you to understand and | |
To pull him through, ah hah | |
Seems to me | |
We got to solve it individually, ah ah | |
And I’ll do unto you what you do to me | |

It’s a beautiful mornin’ | |
Ah, yeah. | |
I think I’ll go outside a while, | |
And just smile. | |
Just take in some clean fresh air, | |
Cause | |
Ain’t no sense in stayin’ inside | |
If the weather’s fine and you got the time. | |
It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day. | |

This year, my wife has spent seven long (to me anyway) weeks visiting her family back in Liverpool, England. She is coming back to me today. | |
If my life can be described as a tree with all of the branches and leaves as my personal choices and experiences, then our marriage has been the tree’s trunk and my Hil has been the tree’s roots, binding us to the good earth. Winter is over and Spring has arrived! | |

Today I’ve added two song lyrics to my Poems page. I’ve also updated six more of the ones already on the page to include the YouTube videos. | |
The additions are: “Lydia – The Tattooed Lady” and “People Got To Be Free“. The performances are by Groucho Marx, and The Young Rascals, respectively. | |
Both of these songs are songs which just popped into my head when I woke up and stuck there for the rest of the day. Both are from my earlier years – the first (“Lydia“) before I understood the “implications” of being a female in the circus and “tattooed”. While humorously presented, it has a quite serious side. | |
The second song is from one of my all time favorite groups as an early youth: “The Young Rascals“, later shortened to just “The Rascals“. These guys had a string of hits, and this is one of my favorites. I’m sure there will be more to come… | |
My favorite lines are: | |
“Ask me my opinion, | |
My opinion will be | |
It’s a natural situation | |
For a man to be free“ | |
The six updates are: | |
I Am A Rock | |
Like A Rock | |
I Hope You Dance | |
She’s Gone | |
Like A Rolling Stone | |
I’m A Believer | |
If you don’t know these songs or haven’t read the lyrics lately, you owe it to yourself to check them out. Then you can drop down to the bottom of the page to enjoy the performance. | |
As always, read the lyrics, enjoy the performances, then go support these artists or the artists of your choice. Participate in supporting the Arts locally! Keep Art alive in your community! | |
