Wow...

I simply love

this simple quote...

this simple thought...

this simple truth...

that is at times just too fucking

impossible...

too fucking draining...

to achieve!!!

But...

sometimes when we heave...

when we bleed massive amounts of ho...

we do...

find that freedom.

I love this quote!

"It takes huge effort

to free yourself from memory"

These words of wisdom come from

one of my favorite author's...

Paulo Coelho

Paulo is the author

of one of my favorite books...

The Alchemist

The Eagles... Already Gone... A Perfect Lyric

A Perfect Lyric

I heard this song on the radio

while driving back home today...

fuckin' AWESOME!

STILL!!

At first I was listening to

Aerosmith's "Live Bootleg" cd...

love that muthafuckin album!

Right after the last notes to

"Train Kept A Rollin'"...

and the fading of the crowd noise...

I switched over to the radio

and the song was right at the part

of these most perfect lyrics...

that I've heard, AND sang,

a million times over mind you but...

... for some reason, this time around,

they just hit me over the head

like a ton of fucking perfection.

Profound reality

is truly a wonderful thing isn't it!!

The song I'm talking about,

is performed by

The Eagles...

I made the switch to the radio

and this... is what I heard...

"Well I know it wasn't you

who held me down

Heaven knows it wasn't you

who set me free

So often times it happens

that we live our lives in chains

And we never even know

we have the key"

Already Gone

WOW!

That whole verse is amazing but...

it's the second line that just

fuckin' resonated with me SO much

at that very moment.

To realize that it's YOU...

who is the one that's holding YOU...

back...

from being everything

and doing everything...

that your little heart desires

is such a fucking wake up call

I have to tell ya... LoL

wow!!


And that fucking amazing dirty guitar
at the 2:36 point of the song
right after the word "free"...
just kicks my ass...
every time...
still!!

It was written by two guys

Jack Tempchin & Robb Strandlund

and was on the Eagles 1974 release...

On The Boarder

Can I Be...

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

Was listening to a Scott Stapp
song the other day...
picked up a pen...
and this came out.


I really like it!

Can I Be...

Can I be an island

A self sustaining life

Running on cylinders --- full

Throttled to the max

Can I be that island

Without strife

Tensions within me --- pull

As I try my best to relax

Can I be more

Than an ocean filled with doubt

Surrounding my island --- treasure

A pirates creed

Can I be that ocean

Water's clear water's without

Skillfully maneuvering --- taking measure

Fruit-filled limbs only

Life beyond the seed

Can I be a sun

Refreshing yellow glow

Leaving behind shapes --- a stillness

Shadows revealing a tale

Can I be that sun

A brightness  a warmth  a show

Caressing your emotions --- a willingness

To embrace my rays

They never fail

Can I be a tick in time

Just listen to that click

As your heart moves from 1 to --- 2

Such safety is found inside

Can I be that tick in time

You are the candle I am the wick

My strength & love flows & believes --- in you

That time stands still as 1 & 2

You & I

Colide

Can I be your vision

Can I be your season

Can I be your present

Can I be your song

Can I be your future

Can I be...

Song of the Moment

Warren Zevon was about to die...

so what did he do??

He recorded his very last album,

that's what!

It's a really good disc,

but this one track just kicks my ass.

Bruce Springsteen
joined forces with Warren on it.

Awesome.

The album is entitled... 

The Wind

And was officially released on...

August 23, 2003

And then...

Warren passed away

just 15 days later on...

September 7, 2003

Wow!

Love the energy on this track.

Watch and listen to Bruce

just fuckin' wail on guitar in the booth

with that dirty... filthy lead.

I think you'll love this song

Words From The Attic... A Simple Thing That's Sometimes Hard To Do

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

At first I didn't understand the title.
Well, we all know what a crappy title
creator I am right... lol


But then the theme of sharing...
that has to be it... right.
Because sometimes,
a lot of times really...
sharing...
is a very difficult response for us to grasp.


So yeah...
sometimes...
it really is...
hard to do!


I enjoyed this piece very much.

A Simple Thing That's Sometimes Hard To Do

Sometimes

When I'm alone

I start to daydream

Of things to come

I wonder about things

That mean nothing at all

I sometimes dream

Of flying to the sun

I see in my mind

Real pretty things

The trees

The lakes

The springs

I see myself on a sunny day

And realize just one thing

There's no one there

There's no one to share

All the beauty before my eye's

Until I look up

I see you there

You were bright

As the glowing skies

You were willing to share

With someone who cared

About the things that you thought right

I took your hand

It's like it all was planned

And we shared our love

Throughout the night

It's the little things in life

That really mean a lot

Like a cuddle

A hug

Or a kiss

It may be simple to you

But it's the world to me

To be sharing a love
