You seem so sad...why not smile

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today I’ll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

  • Creedence Clearwater Revival

If you go down in the woods today, you’d better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic

James Kennedy/ John Brandon
(Was gonna just write BBC or something,but I googled it. YW.

Oh, this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high-alive
Blind to the tide that’s turned the sea
The storm, it came up strong
It shook’ the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn’t even hear
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone and hold it along
And hold
Go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it…

People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down

(The Doors)

I thought I recognized your face
Amongst all of those strangers,
But I am the stranger now
Amongst all of the recognized
What is this, are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around, the sun eclipse behind the cloud

And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

(Pink Floyd)

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all

Nick Drake

Did you know we’re experiencing a lunar eclipse of the sun right now, in the sign of Taurus? Well, we are. Not surprised to see these lyrics here. All kinds of bonkers astrological stuff going on in the cosmos right now.

All, all that you dream
Comes to shine in silver lining
And clouds, clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all these cautions
Right into your life, make you realize
Just what is true, what else can I do
Just follow the rule
Keep your eyes on the road that’s ahead of you

  • Little Feat

I’m pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming

  • R.E.M.

Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss’s head
Because I don’t want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day

(Todd Rundgren)

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh, can’t you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me?

Stone Poneys feat Linda Ronstadt

(written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees!)

The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind

(Alan Parsons Project)

'I’ve been thinking about our fortune
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame
For the love that’s deep inside us now
Is still the same
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It’s been shining down upon you now, I realize

The Moody Blues

Very cool about Mike Nesmith! I didn’t know he wrote that.

Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground or fly me in the sky
Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
Oh, heaven let your light shine down

(Collective Soul)

When I feel the aggravation
When I feel the old frustration
I go into my room and hit my drum

  • The Osmonds

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
I’d rather done it with you
Your boy’s smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love

  • PJ Harvey

There’s a true blue moon in the black city sky
But it looks white as an eyeball from here
And I wonder tonight, does it look white from where you are too?
And so far every morning, I wake up missing you
The sweat in my T-shirts and dust in my shoes
Reminds me that paradise is only a point of view

Del Amitri

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away
But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light
We know where the music’s playin’
Let’s go out and feel the night

  • Neil Young

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away
But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light

Did you see the sky? I think it means that we’ve been lost
Maybe one last time is all we need
I can’t really help it if my tongue’s all tied in knots
[Jumping off a bridge, it’s just the farthest that I’ve ever been

Gin Blossoms

Yes, formatting. I know. Soz, the good one’s charging

Strong and wise and you are love
And when the tide, it comes, you will float above
And you will be, one day, exactly what you are
Just keep your head held high, kiss your fist and touch the sky

  • Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra

This is a song for someone looking back
There is something good that someone said you lack
May it make you whole again if only while it runs
This is a song for someone
Someone who laughs
Someone who cries
Someone whose heart beats just like mine
Another soul who soldiers on
Oh, this is a song for someone
