She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born
I said who put all the things in your head
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born
She said you don't understand what I said
I said no, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy, everything was right
Everything was right
I said even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born
She said you don't understand what I said
I said no, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy, everything was right
Everything was right
She said
I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
I know that it's like to be dead
She Said, She Said - The Beatles (and many others)
So i was listening to a collection of Government Mule songs this morning when a version of this song came up in the que. It made me feel kind of sad, and I haven't quite figured out why right now. Is it time for me to leave? End something? Begin something? Is it a flashback!?
Maybe I am just missing the Beatles era... Music was so different then. People created it for different reasons. Lives were in transition of freedom then.... Hell, I don't know. And last night when we went to the Pizza Parlor, and they were playing Billy Preston, Sly, Melanie, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and those great songs from the late sixties and early seventie's... Guess I am wanning nostalgic today.
dust off your vinyl. time to remember the old days... YIKES!!!!! (never wanted to hear those words come out of my mouth!)
Nuthin from Nuthin leaves nuthin... :wink:
I used to own vinyl...pants.
ReplyDeleteTwo things:
ReplyDelete1) I know a guy who works with Government Mule. He travels with them and does PR work for them, I believe. Haven't seen him in a while, so maybe he doesn't anymore...but he was the biggest Mule fan evah and he introduced me to their music. Nice!
2)I miss the music from that time and place as well. Actually a little afterwards. That wonderful time in the early to mid-70's before Disco broke. I can't watch "Almost Famous" without a great big smile on my face. Great soundtrack!
Mist: my experience with vinyl pants is kinda like that episode with Ross on "Friends". un-uh. no more.
ReplyDeleteEarl: Keewwl! the Mule makes some good music. And yea. Almost Famous is a GREAT soundtrack.
