And we are supposed to like it.<br /><br />Seriously. Any of you 'over there' looking in 'over here' and wondering if ther's some kind of "club" arrangement I can assure you there ain't... Some violently emotional assholes yes, but no rules. So get amongst it.<br /><br />OK.

This recording has got a great folksy, confessional quality to it. And a stupid dog barking.<br /><br />I didn't that much care for Shot of Love as an album, but always was in awe of this song: Not many songwriters could do this - Every Grain of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psqb4cRCbJA&feature=PlayList&p=F97D4480AED6E3CF&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=27" rel="nofollow">Sand</a>. <br /><br />For the uninitiated, here are the words. Laid out on a sheet, they probably warrant some kind of minor Nobel Prize in their own right<br /><br />++++++++++++<br /><br />In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need<br />When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed<br />There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,<br />Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.<br /><br />Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,<br />Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.<br />In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand<br />In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.<br /><br />Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,<br />Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.<br />The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way<br />To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.<br /><br />I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame<br />And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.<br />Then onward in my journey I come to understand<br />That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.<br /><br />I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night<br />In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,<br />In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,<br />In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.<br /><br />I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea<br />Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.<br />I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man<br />Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.<br /><br />+++++++++++Bitterweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290137850441509784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-38268958393727896662009-11-15T03:26:40.653+00:002009-11-15T03:26:40.653+00:00Thought for the Sabbath Day:
