SONG OF THE DAY..... - Marriage Builders® Forums

ok, so it's been a while... slacker <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I'm hanging out on EN these days.... but Jan started a Million Memories thread... and Pepp was lurking (caught ya) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Anybody remember this one?

Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again

I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

CHORUS

It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way
But now I know how love can grow with each and every day
As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me

CHORUS

You and me for eternity in love will always be
Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, it's gross, I'm falling hard. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds?

We have a weiner! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hot dog! Nice to know some folks still like the classics.

I remember this one!!!! I was..... still in school. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

TMCM---good call!

More Hamilton, Joe Franks & Reynolds:

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here
Without a single word
Don't you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

There's so much I wanna do
I've got love enough for two
But I'll never use it girl if I don't have you

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

Hey I remember seeing these guys in 1976 (I was 18) and envied their great hair. Now I'll bet all of them (if they're still among the living) are either bald or their receeding hair line exceeds mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

In October of 1976 I turned 7 years old.

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

But Dad was a music freak and so I know what the good stuff really is.

I thnk some of you guys ( and girls) must be almost as old as me.

I didn't think anyone but JL and 2Long were that old.

SS

Love that old song! Hey - in 1976 I was 7 years old too! Well, actually - add a "1" in front of that 7!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Hey Alberta... How's Sudz?

1976???? Hm... I waz..... trying to look like I was 18 but still got carded in Hawaii!!! Why? Because I looked like I was 12!

Now I wish I looked like I was 6 years younger!

Ok who else was 18 in '76??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Sudz
We spoke on the phone a few weeks ago and we are planning on getting together. I've been busy and quite frankly it's been so damn snowy here I don't want to travel on the highway! (She's about 45 minutes south of me)
She has had such a journey - and she is so strong. I remember how she helped me so much when I first came to this forum.

hehe I was 9 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Okay - so I was 17 in 1976 - but my H was 11! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> That just seems so weird.

Ok, here's a ??

Remember the song..... 'The Horse with No Name' ?

I can't remember all the lyrics but the tune is catchy..... but what was that song about?

L.

Horse with no name -
By America
Some say it was about finding yourself.
Some say it was about Heroin addiction.

Hard to know........unless you wrote the song.

SS

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.
It felt good to get out of the rain.
In the desert, you can't remember your name..
and there ain't no one to give you no pain...

(Or words to that effect)...

la la la la la la la

Going a little further back in time, do any of you know what the story was in the song 'Timothy'? I know and it's quite a shocker. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Timothy - by Elton "feather me up baby" John

This one? never released? kinda creepy? give.

Timothy
Why are you following me
Why don't you take a few chances
while you got time on your side

Timothy
How can I make you see
Somebody's got all the answers
but it sure ain't me

You know that love's a game
And I played it once or twice
Oh you're asking for advice
That I can't give you

'Cause it just don't feel the same
If you haven't paid the price
It's something that you're just gonna
Have to live through

Timothy
Why are you following me

Timothy
I'm not the person to tell you
What you should do with your life

Timothy
The joke's on me
You got yourself more to handle
Than I will ever be

You know that love's a game
You can guarantee to win
Love has always been a game of learning

'Cause it just don't feel the same
When you're outside looking in
And it's still the same old question keeps returning

Timothy
Why are you following me

Well you know that love's a game
You play the best you can
It's hard to understand
Though we keep trying

'Cause it just don't feel the same
When you lose the master plan
I sometimes have to laugh
To keep from crying

Ok, forget that last one... creepy as it may have sounded, stalker is way less scary than being eaten.

Timothy
The Buoys
(Rupert Holmes)

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...

Oh cool!!!

Music to clean toilet bowls by!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Timothy? Oh yeah, I recall...

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see

And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Oh, and how about this... Timothy was written by Rupert Holmes...

Yes, THAT Rupert Holmes who wrote that insufferable song "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song)

You know: "If you like pina coladas...gettin' caught in the rain...
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />"Yes, THAT Rupert Holmes who wrote that insufferable song "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song)" <hr /></blockquote>Yep, he followed up 'Escape' with the song 'Him' about our favorite subject here on these boards. From cannibalism to infidelity, man what a ride. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

OKEEE DOKEEE - Time to lighten things up here I think....

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl....

Who are these people?? I know Elton John, but that's it.

Could it be that I wasn't even born in 1976? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Love ya E!

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl....<hr /></blockquote>'Copacabana' by Barry Manillow circa 1978.

How about this one?

I saw the Eagles reunion concert a few years back and I still can't stop laughing at the name of their tour: 'The Hell Freezes Over' tour. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I saw the Eagles reunion concert a few years back and I still can't stop laughing at the name of their tour: 'The Hell Freezes Over' tour.
FI - When they broke up previously, it was pretty ugly between all of them.

Later, when asked about a possible reunion, Don Henly said, "We'll get back together when hell freezez over" hence the name of that tour.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />FI - When they broke up previously, it was pretty ugly between all of them.

Man I give good thread. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Ok, answer me this....

father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
the day the music died....

who are - the father, son, and the holy ghost?

Ooh,ooh,ooh, I think I kinda know some of the answer to this -The song is American Pie of course. The reference is to rock legends who died --right? I think Buddy Holly is one of them - not sure which one...

HELP! Anyone know this?
Just heard this tidbit of info a couple of weeks ago listening to my fave CBC radio but have of course forgotten.

Ok, here's another oldie.....Pepper's post to Q now made my mind stuck on this song and I need to know the artist..... HELP!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Pepperband:

"Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby.
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over..."

Now I am sure she didn't mean to do this to me - LOL!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> but now my mind is stuck in the 70's over this song.

For you sweet love....

Rock the Boat
Hues Corporation

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion

To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat-t-t-t-t

Ever since our voyage of love began
Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

Our love is like a ship on the ocean
We've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion

To rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby
Rock the boat-t-t-t-t

Up to now we sailed through every storm
And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
Oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
Don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through

Our love is like a ship ..........

Awwwhhh... E, you bring back such good memories with your sweet lyrics. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hugz,
L.

Boy.... <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> Kind of brought back memories of a when, just a few days before 9/11 I was going to be "leaving on a jet plane, dont know if I'll be back again"

....Was under a lot of stress, didnt know where I was headed, just wanted out. The *only* thing that stopped me was, I would of had a guilty conscience of taking his hard earned money and using it for an airplane ticket. (When you *dont* plan a trip, you pay triple)

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here
Without a single word
Don't you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

There's so much I wanna do

Gina was that the Everly Bros. or Righteous Bros.? H. won't listen and changes station immediately, BUT I love em. The voice sounds like BJ Thomas actually.

When I was a kid I listened to my siblings music so I have heard all types and like all of it. I never knew what Timothy was about, and I will change the station on that next time, YUCK!

Remember the song that went, now that he's gone all that's left is a band of gold all that's left of the dreams I owned is a band of gold Does anyone know the words to it I really liked that one. I was about 6 or 7 when it came out I think.

Darnd if I know, (smile) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I was not good at the words to songs. I never heard the words clearly so I made up my own. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> This is kind of neat to see the words written out here...I listened to my siblings music too. (Had two sisters older then I) Karen Carpenter, Fleet Wood Mac, and who knows what else! Always eaten sunflower seeds back then too. (Oh how funny) I copied this song from the beginning of this thread. (Thats how confused I am with your post and which song is what) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Didnt the Rightous Brothers sing: "You've lost that loven feeling?" (My mind is actually making connections????)I still dont know what the Timothy song is about, I kind of skipped over it. Sounded like it might be too intense to me for today. Maybe I will read it another day.

Esp. when we were younger, making up the words was fun and in a bunch of the songs, your own words made the meaning much better!

Remember the song "Up On a Roof" when this old world starts a getting me down I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.....and ends up with there is room enough for two ,,up on a roof! James Taylor re sang it but think it was a 50's song originally.

HOW OLD ARE YOU???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> (Just Kidding!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Yes, I "may" remember that,vaguely, but, only if I heard it, not by the title of the song.

Gina and Wflower - the first song was posted near the beginning of this thread actually, and it was done by Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.

Up on the Roof - ah - a classic - The Nylons did a wonderful rendition of that oldie in the 80's.

Ok, answer me this....

father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
the day the music died....

who are - the father, son, and the holy ghost?<hr /></blockquote>If you go here you can read all about it. Well, as much as there is to read, anyway. My favorite interpretation is that the father, son & holy ghost reference is to Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and Big Bopper who died in that fateful plane crash. The trip to the coast supposedly refers to the shift to California made by the music business at about that time.

Here's another link, in case you're interested in some alternative interpretations. And by the way, Satan is Mick Jagger.

Hmmm. Guess I will stay away from fleetwood mack.
I should explain something here. Right now I only have a few CD's. For about the last year I had just two classical CDs. (No problem. I was happy.) Then when I started going through this "I am going to be happy phase" I started jumping on the mini tramp and needed upbeat music. Then I started listening to "oldies" stations.

It is neat reading words to old songs here though. Its been a while (over a decade) since I have listened to the oldies. Its bringing back lots of memories of when I was growing up.
