I Turned You Into Music Wed 2-Edit

This song takes a little journey through my mid-pandemic mindset.  Trying to be serious and fun at the same time, or seriously fun, whichever, maybe a bit of both.   Lyrics below:

What's the point now, if it's all a drag?
Everybody's got to have their own bag
Don't leave it sitting by the side of the road
The body's rusted and it needs to be towed 
Away, away...

What's the point now, you're older than dirt?
Somebody diss you and your feelings are hurt
You left it sitting by the side of the road
Your mind is rusted and it needs to be told
Again, again...

Away, away...
Away, away, away...

What's the point now, you're over the hill?
Don't do it now, then you never will
Just leave it sitting by the side of the tracks
This train is leaving and it's not coming back
This way, this way...

Away, away... (going away)
Away, away, away
Away, away...
Away, away, away...
Look out for that hole...
Watch out, watch out for that hole...

Pending

" Away "

Away

This one's a mantra to myself, hopefully I'll pay attention to it.

 See lyrics below:

You can love if the eye of your heart is open
You can sing if the words from your heart are true
You can have everything you've ever wanted
If it's true, what to do, tell me what to do

Live as you love, love as you live
You're only getting one shot now
When it is heavy, when it is hard, you must
Give it the best that you've got now...

The best that you've got...

When the nights are so long, like there's no tomorrow
And you fight with the feeling that it all will end
You can fly, when the dawn comes on wings of music
And the sun is your friend, yeah the sun's your friend

Living to love, loving to live
Putting it all on the line now
When you are ready hold on and be steady
The future is all in your mind now
It's all in your mind...

When you love, you must love like there's no tomorrow
When you smile let it be just as real as gold
When you dance, just let go and your feet will follow
Let it go, just let go, aw... let it go

Listen to love, loving to live
Giving is better than taking
Wherever you go, whatever you know
Remember and don't be mistaken...

Use the eye of your heart...
Live as you love...
Love as you live...

.
Live as you love, love as you live
Give in to love, loving to give
Live as you love, love as you live
Give in to love
Loving to live...
oooh, ooh, ooh,
oooh, ooh,ooh
oooh, ooh,ooh
oooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh

Lyrics:

I sent a message to you, you never answered me back
was it something I said, have you turned me away?
while I wait for your call, should I text you again?
you're so stuck in my heart, is this the way it will end?

Please remember I still love you, you're always on my mind
you're like the missing puzzle piece
and I miss you all of the time

You got a hold of my heart, I hope you never let go
but if you do then I guess, there's something you oughta know
I send this message to you, I hope you answer me back
with so much left unsaid, and I'm all out of whack

Please remember I still love you, you're always on my mind
you're like the missing puzzle piece, and I miss you all
of the time, I do
and I miss you all of the time
I miss you

Puzzle

This is a reference to the " doomsday clock " many of us grew up hearing about, and the quite possible relevance of it today...

Lyrics:

Sixty seconds to midnight, I left my shoes by the pool
I'll have to go back and get them, so I don't look like a fool
'Cause a fool and his memory can go separate ways
I've got my shoes back, I'm better these days
As I'm gettin' older, am I gettin' any wiser?
I've asked along the way

Sixty seconds to midnight just a minute to spare
Why did nobody tell us, didn't anyone care?
How we danced all our dances, and wouldn't you know;
Coaches and pumpkins, where does the time go?


Down a darkened highway, it's long and it's winding
can't see where it ends...

" Sixty seconds to midnight ", said the man on the phone
" Why don't you come get me, or else leave me alone "
'Cause I know I can make it, I know I have grown
It's just that I'm not ready yet, to go home...

There's a meadow with a creek there,
creek runs to a river
river to the sea...
creek runs to a river
River to the sea...
Yeah  yeah   yeah

Portals

This one is for the explorers who did so much, with simple analog computing, amazing gadgetry, and pure guts.  It doesn't get much cooler than these guys.  The final mission was fifty-two years ago this week, Apollo 17.  Harrison Schmitt, one of the last two of twelve humans to walk there said after stepping out onto the surface, " I think the next generation ought to accept this as a challenge. Let's see them leave footprints like these. " 

Lyrics: 

Across the plains of Hadley,
across the Descartes highlands,
our hearts were beating madly,
out on that rocky island...

Driving on the moon,
driving on the moon.
We didn't make it to Mars
but we drove our cars
on the mountains... mountains of the moon.

Left without a suitcase,
in a lonely rowboat.
Three days out in deep space,
I had a lump in my throat

The far side of the moon
Far side of the moon
It was darker than hell,
and they wished us well
'round the dark side, 
far side of the moon...

  (instrumental break)

Sailed the Sea of Tranquility,
walked upon Fra Mauro,
searched the Littrow valley,
won't be back tomorrow...

Driving on the moon
the mountains of the moon.
We didn't make it to Mars
but we left some scars
on the mountains...mountains of the moon
crazy mountains of the moon
ooh ooh ooh ooh

Mountains Of the Moon

Mountains of the Moon

Bluesy, but read Longfellow's "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere"
