Wow, that was awesome!!!

Hearing that took me back to the good ole days...thanks for posting!

~ The rooms full of smoke & barbs are a-flying ~
One can't hardly breathe ...

Apropos time for this song:


WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees of green red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shaking hands saying "How do you do"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cry I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

LOUIS ARMSTRONG

Harley ... Thanks for bringing that song into play here. I went and saw 'The Lion King' in Hollywood & hearing it live took my breath away!
So meaningful ....

Skyking:
Wrong choice of words ... sorry

Shadowy Figure ... the misc Trivia Board idea sounds great! Trivia is a cool learning tool plus one can have a great time 'learning' while having fun at the same time. That my friends doesn't always happen when one actually attends school!

SkyKing & Purple:
ie., Debate on Pawns posting on message boards

As you can tell, I'm a Pawn & there for awhile I wasn't able to post here any longer, whereas last year around September time (page 8 and up...), I could. Don't know what & why the changes came about but I can tell you that I'm happy to be able to post here again!
Pawns rock too!

Great Idea is right ... when do we start?

Awww... Stevie Wonder ... he is definitely one of the best & this song is one of his finest! Thanks Purple ... how about this one from memory lane.


For Once In My Life

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long,
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong.

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew,
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true.

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore.

For once I can say, this is mine you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

No Doubt!!
((it's like 'white out' ... a great tool for those who ... ahhh ... errr ... well, you know))
Giggle Giggle
(;^)

Boy, do I feel the fool! LOL! But of course "Us and Them" was by Pink Floyd and not The Moody Blues. It must of been that time warp I was caught up in ... warped the memory ...
((((best excuse I can come up with!!))))
Sorry all .... and thanks Magenta Spiral for the correction.

While I'm traveling in the same time warp, how's this for a classic song from a great and memorable band?

US AND THEM

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

ECLIPSE

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy, beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat, everyone you meet
All that you slight, everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under
The sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"

lol... just to quote 'the end' to this timeless tune.
[:^)

Well said taurec & you have a good memory too!
[:^)

Here's an oldie that I think most of you will remember. Unfortunately, the words are all too real today, with the soldiers that are fighting for Freedom & Democracy in Iraq and the innocent people, especially the children, that are caught amidst the gun fire.

The Animals ~ "Sky Pilot"

He blesses the boys as they stand in life
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's here to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.

Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.

He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them it's all right
He knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mother and fathers back home they will cry.

Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.

He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given they move down the line
But hell stay behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.

As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good with god you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage
In the words that he's said.

Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky.

You're soldiers of god you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May god give you strength do your job really well
If it all was worth in only time it will tell.

In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A young soldier so it looks at the sky bright
Remember the words thou shalt not kill.

Thanks Red Dragon! Appreciate your time!

Hiya People!
...BTW, love the new dicussion group! ... [:-) ...

Anyone out there remember a 60's group called "The New Christie Ministrols" ?
(( sp., Christy? ))
A particular fav is called "Today"

~*~ Beginning Lyrics ~*~

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
I'll eat your strawberries I'll drink your sweet wine...
A million tomorrows ................
((( don't know the exact words from here but I believe it goes ... )))
...would have to pass away,
then I'd forget all the Joy that is mine, Today.

Does it ring a bell?
[:-)

Till next time, keep smiling!
