Hi there,
Gather, children: This week’s inspiration comes from the words of our mortal prophets Robert Hunter, John Mayer, John Lennon and John Gourley…
Can I share some timely words with you, specifically lyrics?
Attics of my Life – Grateful Dead/Robert Hunter
In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal.
Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see.
When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me.
I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung.
Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see.
When there were no strings to play, you played to me.
In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood.
Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old.
When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me.
In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed.
When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold.
When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me.
You can see Dark Star Orchestra perform a loving tribute to this song on youtube, or witness in person at the House of Blues Thursday night.
Daughters – John Mayer
...Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
John Mayer performs at the Toyota Center on my daughter’s birthday.
People Say – Portugal. The Man.
All the soldiers say
"It'll be alright,
We may make it through the war
If we make it through the night."
Portugal. The Man. (yes, that is the name) are intensely intriguing. Warehouse Live, Thursday night.
From Lennon/McCartney:
All you need is love.
And
You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.
