If I didn’t know better, I would say this song was written for me. It was released in April, 1973, recorded by Eagles. Most people think it is “The” Eagles. Not so. Simply “Eagles”. They were Linda’s backing band for a short road tour in 1971. One big show was at Disney Land. So, Happy Birthday Linda. (July 15, 1947) Linda Ronstadt - Desperado (Lyrics)

This song is a reminder for all those military brothers who came home with PTSD, and nobody knew. “Dreams We Conceive” - Trans Siberian Orchestra [Lieutenant William Cozier] In a city After midnight Neath the halo Of a street light Where the dreams die As the blood dries On the wounds we keep hidden from View In the safety Of this darkness As it hides all Time has tarnished The forbidden Unforgiven Are secure here where no-one Pursues But the night fades away And gives way to the day For what else is the night to do As the dark steps aside With the hopes we confide And never believes That the dreams we conceived Would ever Not ever come true Is life different After midnight With its new dawn And its new light Inconsistent And indifferent To the things We were so sure we knew As you stood there In the night air With such beauty That the stars stared From their distance You were different Like a dream That no-one could refuse But the night fades away And gives way to the day For what else is The night to do As the dark steps aside With the hopes we confide And never believes That the dreams we conceived Would ever Not ever come true (Musical Interlude) As you stand all Alone at your station What if God doesn’t Know where you are As you send out your Prayers for salvation But afraid that They don’t go that far So you wait all Alone in your darkness There’s a train that drives on Through the night And if everyone’s On it except us Would it return for That single life (Musical Interlude) In a city After midnight Neath the halo Of a street light . . .

When looking at the earth from space, there are no borders! There are no names of countries. It is one planet for all living creatures.
“Hopelessly Human” - Kansas - from Album, Point Of Know Return, 1977 (Instrumental Introduction) It's a strange aberration, this brainstorm of youth Though it's lost in translation from fancy to truth It's hopelessly human, both inside and out A joyous occasion, no reason to doubt It's easy somehow, what once was elusive is calling me now I am waiting, I am patiently, Doing nothing, in a reverie Climbing higher, seeing everything Interacting, slowly, spiraling I am giving, while I'm watching the Life I'm living, precious energy Escalating, what was once just a game It's never the same, no one's to blame (Instrumental Interlude) It's a strange situation, there's no cause for alarm All these hot licks and rhetoric Surely do you no harm They're hopelessly human, both inside and out A joyous occasion, there's no reason to doubt When each word is read, would you know the difference If nothing was said All is rhythm, all is unity I am laughing, as it's meant to be Just amusing, I am using the Word was given, making harmony Moving slowly, dancing aimlessly Endless circle, turning fearlessly Resurrected, falling down again Introspective, I'm just stating my views Now you can choose, what do you feel Is it for real this time (Instrumental)
Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer (from The Concert in Central Park) Includes a section never recorded on disc or vinyl.
My musical tastes run from America to ZZTop, Classical to Country. That is, as long as it is well structured, tells a story, or affects emotions. That one was beautiful in my mind. Glad you liked it. Jim Wilson - California
Here are a couple of songs whose themes fit what is going on in the world. The first song is memories of WWII and British Flyers. The term “angels one five brought back memories, as it is RAF and USAF for altitude of 1,500 feet. Pink Floyd - The Hero’s Return “The Heroes Return” Jesus Jesus what’s it all about Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape When I was their age all the lights went out There was no time to whine and mope about And even now part of me flies over Dresden at angels one five Though they’ll never fathom it behind my Sarcasm desperate memories lie Sweetheart sweetheart are you fast asleep, good ‘Cos that’s the only time that I can really talk to you And there is something that I’ve locked away A memory that is too painful To withstand the light of day When we came back from the war the banners and Flags hung on everyones door We danced and we sang in the street and The church bells rang But burning in my heart My memory smolders on Of the gunners dying words on the intercom Jesus Christ I might as well be dead If I can’t see how dangerous it must feel to be Training human cogs for the machine Without some shell-shocked lunatic like me Bombarding their still soft shores With sticks and stones that were lying around In the pile of unspeakable feelings I’d found And I turned back the stone Turned over the stone Of my own disappointment Back home
Warning-This song is considered as Heavy Heavy Metal This song is about those who do not heed the word of God All the way back to Job, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Amos. Accept - Die by the Sword “Die By The Sword” The world around us, frozen in terror The balance of power, a thing of the past Anything human has been abandoned We’re just drowning souls in a river of blood If you live by the sword You will die by the sword If you live by the sword You will die by the sword We’re sinking deeper in a world of darkness It’s kill or be killed from the day we are born We’re an evil seed from the soul of a serpent An evil breed in a valley of thorns What was built up in thousands of years In just a moment is destroyed Have we lost all compassion and love Cast out souls into the void If you live by the sword You will die by the sword If you live by the sword You will die by the sword Blood and vengeance, Iron and bone Fallen warriors, carved in stone Crush this mindless desire for blood And stop this endless crusade Conquer our instincts and lay down the steel Save our children from the blade If you live by the sword You will die by the sword If you live by the sword You will die by the sword
