Old tunes

Ready for a new one? May we try something different? I have been tripping of late through my old tunes and find many memories stirred through the process. They are coming out in my haikus. Loose rules here except for the 5-7-5 standard. Write a haiku about your favorite tune, capture favorite lines from your song, write about your favorite songwriter or however you choose to do it. You can tell what the song is if you like or have your friends guess. Let's have some fun here and bring back some of our favorite tunes. Might be a way of honoring our "heroes" of younger years. Below are a couple of haikus from our prior discussions as examples:

I talk to the wind
time to say goodbye my dear
the wind does not hear

(by Scott Williamson in 'Goodbye and Wind')

OR -

c'mon and touch me
can't you see I'm not afraid
c'mon touch me babe

old train to breakdown

please just, let me please breakdown

but I can't stop now

you can't stop nothing

you got no control of thoughts

you kept in, you know

you don't know nothing

the wisdom's in the trees

not the glass windows

I need this old train

please just, let me please breakdown

but i can't stop now .......

you are happiness

you are the wish of my soul

everything is love

Meet me in San Francisco, Darling...I'll have flowers in my hair.

the falling leaves drift

autumn leaves of red and gold

hands I used to hold

since you went away

soon I'll hear the winter's song

when autumn leaves fall

come little closer

we could dream this night away

on this harvest moon

when we were strangers....

I loved you with all my heart

when we were lovers

now it's gettin late

and the moon is climbing high

want to celebrate

i've looked everywhere

searchin' for a heart of gold

and i'm gettin' old

The search ended when I met you, D. You are my heart of gold.

My Beloved turned me on to the lush and melancholy CD Painted from Memory, which was released September 29, 1998. I think the songs, a collaboration between Burt and Elvis, are simply mesmerizing.

(This is a condensed, but particularly beautiful, version of this song.)
