17. Do you really think so? Why? Do you mean that Journey had

intended to write lyrics and didn't?

:hi:

[lildreamer316]

28. Yes..

If you read the book that came with the box set it talks about how Johnathan Cain had the music but they never recorded it with Perry, so he and Schon went back in the studio and recorded it this way.
One of my faves.

4. ??? "Keep your heart open ,'cause love will find a way"--I think that's a fine message

to hear expressed , and to try to internalize. ( BTW , glad to see you back)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. I just think the song needs no lyrics. The groove of the song (to me)

is interrupted by the vocals and I always find myself trying to "ignore" the words and wonder what the song would sound like as an instrumental.

and thanks.................it is good to be back.

[abq e streeter]

22. Ah--OK... I thought your point was nice songs ruined by dumb lyrics...

that song does have a very nice groove, and I sometimes do the same thing; hear a nice song and wonder what it would sound like just instrumentally.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. so...then...post it already! --

:D

[abq e streeter]

24. actually I have some cool tapes of The Beachboys and Jan and Dean in the studio

(um, not showing my age , am I) that include just instrumental tracks, as well as, of course, tracks of my own stuff, but I am among the very most technologically-challenged doofuses ( or would the plural be doofi) on DU and don't even know how to post a you tube, much less something from an old cassette tape........BTW , totally off-subject, but on one of the Beachboy tapes , you can clearly hear one of em ask another "what happened to the hash joint". I don't think they were talking about a restaurant...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. Morrissey's "King Leer."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGpBHWR9N0s

Your boyfriend, he
Went down on one knee
Well, could it be
He's only got one knee ?

I tried to surprise you
With Vodka
Or Tizer
I can't quite quite remember
But you didn't thank me
You didn't even thank me
Because you never do

Your boyfriend, he
Has the gift of the gab
Or, could it be
The gift of the grab ?
I tried to surprise you
I lay down beside you
And ... nothing much happened
And you didn't phone me
You didn't even phone me
Because it's not your style
To dial

Your boyfriend, he
Has displayed to me
More than just a
Real hint of cruelty
I tried to surprise you
I crept up behind you
With a homeless chihuahua
You "coo"-ed for an hour
You handed him back and you said:
"You'll never guess
I'm bored now"

[MorningGlow]
