u.t. dread - a prayer to jah.mp3

I Just heard that Lou Reed is not with us anymore, he was one of my musical heroes.
This, I recorded a few years ago, I'm sure there's thousands of versions of this song that are much better, but this is the best I could do on my own.

Marco Lucchi - Touch the Moon [Naviar Haiku # 535]

Some people compulsively seek love and attention from external sources, a behavior often rooted in deep-seated insecurities and the need for validation. This constant quest, however, frequently results in hurting those who matter most to them. In their desperate pursuit of recognition, they overlook the feelings and needs of their loved ones. They strive to gain the attention and affection of others, even if it means neglecting or jeopardizing their own relationships.

This behavior leads to disappointment and pain for those they care about. Partners, friends, and family members often feel rejected and insignificant, resulting in conflicts and a breach of trust. The compulsive search for external validation makes them appear selfish and unreliable, further straining the relationship. Ultimately, this behavior can create deep rifts in their most important relationships, which are difficult to mend, leading to loneliness and regret when they realize what they have lost.

WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
 It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
 If you don't know by now.
 An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
 It don't matter anyhow.
 When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
 Look out your window and I’ll be gone
 You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
 Don’t think twice, it’s all right
 
 It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
 That light I never knowed
 An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
 I’m on the dark side of the road
 Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
 To try and make me change my mind and stay
 We never did too much talkin’ anyway
 So don’t think twice, it’s all right
 
 It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
 Like you never did before
 It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal
 I can’t hear you anymore
 I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road
 I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
 I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
 But don’t think twice, it’s all right
 
 I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe
 Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
 But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
 So I’ll just say fare thee well
 I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
 You could have done better but I don’t mind
 You just kinda wasted my precious time
 But don’t think twice, it’s all right

Reprising our Joan'n'Bob act ( see Diamonds and Rust Gareth-calway – Diamonds-and-rust) with a return fixture, Bob's trademark protest song against one of his early women. His second album but the first to feature a more or less complete sweep of his own songs, unlike the first which mainly showcased him as a performer of other people's. In other words, the real Dylan. Who was the discarded lover? Some internal evidence suggests this may even be pre-New York with its rustic setting of roosters and dark roads and sense of setting out and travelling' on in which case it might be a memory of some Mid Western affair rather than Suzi Rotolo but who knows. "You just kinda wasted my precious time" is pretty damning but mild compared to some of his later accusations and restless attacks on whoever was upsetting him at the time. We both bought this album about 8 years after it came out probably on the strength of Blowing in the Wind as one of those must have vinyl classic albums from one of the masters of folk rock and Americana and fellow architect of the 60s (with the Beatles) first heard as children but now understood as teenagers and were sent back to it recently by the brilliant film about Dylan's early years (up to 1966) 'A Complete Unknown' which ends with him roaring away from Pete Seeger type folk on a rocknroll motorbike. Around the time of Hendrix there was a rumour that Dylan couldn't really play guitar but made up for it with a unique dramatising voice and the poetry of the lyrics but one listen to the original will banish that thought: his guitar picking (honed by all those folk club performances) is astonishingly good and drives the song.. And contrary to most people's recall, this is not a solo track but has a band behind him playing drums, two bass guitars, piano and a second guitarist. Our version concentrates on the heart-yearning pretty tune. We have a female lead vocal, bass, percussion and add some vocal layers. On the liner notes Dylan protests that it isn't a (slow and easy going) love song. And so of course that's exactly the way we do it.

Don't Think Twice It's All Right (Dylan)

Yes, it's all about the ride, so forget about the finish line
Spoken words mainly from Bob Dishy and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman(in his scene stealing performance as former bagpiping childstar Sandy Lyle) from the 2004 movie Along Came Polly...Let It Rain!

If  you feel the need to bust out and solo,   Mr. Hoffman will gladly demonstrate how to find that freedom to rock out

Lyrics

Yesterday's gone                                              
But this race keeps dragging on                       
The rules they believe
Not the same for you and me 
Hard to play fair                                             
Hard not to cheat                                          
Hard just to stand on your own two feet         
No need to deceive                                        
Just walk on by                                                             
Forget about the finish line                           
Forget about that finish line                               

A prodigal son
I'm tasting moonbeams on my tongue 
Your greatest mistake 
Let's celebrate and cut the cake
Face to the wall
I turn and say cheese
Time to confess this misery 
No need to grieve
Let's dance on by
And forget about the finish line
Let's forget about that finish line

One foot in front of the other                               
Lunge, leap, somersault, and roll              
Always falling down in your bread and your butter             
Take a chance and lose yourself                        
It's not the end you need to encounter              
This life in cruise control                                     

Hard to play fair
Hard not to cheat
Hard just to stand on your own two feet 
No need to grieve
Just dance on by
Forget about that finish line 
Forget about that finish line
Forget about the finish line



Forget About The Finish Line
