Listening to tunes tonight and taking off…kinda like this…(click on pic for full effect & then, the back arrow)…
From Vancouver to Victoria...From BoDeans to Robbie Robertson
I love the ‘BoDeans’…have seen them maybe three times, but the most recent was at the pretty awesome new venue in San Diego, Anthology…it’s a small, cozy little dinner/music venue and I’ve seen it set up different ways for different groups…
They’ve been around for years…and I love the 1987 Robbie Robertson album, by the same name, which Sammy sang on with Robbie…that whole album is killer…you gotta hear Robbie’s “Somewhere Down the Crazy River“…very sexy…
Robbie Robertson
Somewhere Down the Crazy River by Robbie Robertson
Yea, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know where people play games with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from a levee
All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling
From right behind me
I turned around and she said
“Why do you always end up down at Nick’s Cafe?”
I said “I don’t know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way.”
She said “Hang the rich.”
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Take a picture of this
The fields are empty, abandoned ’59 Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
Yea, that’s when time stood still
You know, I think I’m gonna go down to Madam X
And let her read my mind
She said “That Voodoo stuff don’t do nothing for me.”
I’m a man with a clear destination
I’m a man with a broad imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can’t find, … no control
Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Wait, did you hear that
Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She said “There’s one thing you’ve got to learn
Is not to be afraid of it.”
I said “No, I like it, I like it, it’s good.”
She said “You like it now
But you’ll learn to love it later.”
I been spellbound – falling in trances
I been spellbound – falling in trances
You give me shivers – chills and fever
I been spellbound – somewhere down the crazy river

What It Feels Like by the BoDeans
Meet, some girls every once in a while
But it’s always the same
Start out walkin’ on a sunny day
And you end up caught in the rain
Well, I’m lookin’ for somethin’ that I ain’t known
Lookin’ for somethin that’s rollin’ home
What it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love
This and that and the other thing
Don’t mean nothin’ to me
Just for once, for once in my life
I wanna be able to see
Holdin’ your hand, lookin’ in your eye
I don’t know the reason why
What it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love
And I don’t wanna say, that it’s now
Or it’s never, but I’ve waited so long
For someone who will be more than a lover, yea, yea
Oh yea, what it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, oh yea
What it feels like, to be in love
Whoa, to be in love
Yea, to be in love, oh yea
just listening to music…’the donum’
Donum of Visum
