This is a song you all will enjoy--and perhaps it will lure you to check out the band which is amazing: I SEE HAWKS IN LA (yes that is the band's name).
Happiness is the lasting pleasure of the mind grasping the intelligible order of reality.      --Leibniz

Re: Song Suggestions "High Sierra" Boz Scaggs

Is this what you were thinking of, x-man?

The lyrics of this song are pretty vague, but when you add the beautiful melody, it reminds me very much of Jack and Ennis's time apart those four long years:

Sierra, Boz Scaggs

What about the one who said he loved you
What about the one who said he cared
Don't bother trying to find him
Way up in the icy air

Oh, you played with his heartstrings
And you played without a care
But not up in the High Sierra
You won't play his heart out there

The angels lay their clouds across his sky
They line up for him every night
Some have wings and others sing
The rest do lazy ballets in the air

There he's got a bird to give him warning
And he's got a lookout too
The beauty of the High Sierra
And she's looking out for you

The angels lay their clouds across his sky
They line up for him every night
Some have wings and others sing
The rest do lazy ballets in the air

What about the one who said he loved you
What about the one who said he cared
He's up in the High Sierra
But don't bother looking there.

This reminds me, I have another song to add to the collection!

Ticket to the Moon: ELO

Remember the good old 1960's
When things were so uncomplicated
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes
Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh oh
Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (I would see you)

I was reviewing old posts in my blog and inspired by something Serious said. This could be a Brokieish song, especially if you spell Rain the way she did, rein!!

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers layin' in the fields
Love, reign o'er me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me
Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me
Love, reign o'er me
Rain on me, rain on me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain
I can't sleep, and I lay, and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Woo, oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain
Love, reign o'er me
Reign o'er me, o'er me, o'er me, woah
Love, reign o'er me, o'er me
