What are you listening to?

One of the crude songs, with lyrics.


"Wheels Of Confusion / The Straightener"


Long ago I wandered through my mind
In the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I knew no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
It was an illusion

Soon the days were passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
It was an illusion

Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angry delusion
Hiding in everyday fears

So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah when you're gone!

This applies to ALL; substitute "man" where needed. We're HUMAN. Go.

"Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)"


Relax...Take it easy...

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

Great song for recent times. Not well known, 2nd album (1970), "Benefit," from Jethro Tull and my favorite....This song, 'Inside,' warms my hippie soul, I still play this on the RP.....Anyone care to dance in the Light with me? Enjoy! 💚

Yeah this one takes me back- listened to the Thick as a Brick album repeatedly knew every word by heart. Lots of great music here of practically every genre- thanks everyone!
 
Nickelback was my favorite band in high school, because there was actually a point or valid commentary to some of their songs. They were actually allowed to say quite a bit for a mainstream band. Maybe it's because they're Canadian and everyone expects the Canucks to be a bit weird or something:lol: They had a fair amount of sex, drugs, and rock and roll type songs too, like a price they needed to pay to the system to get distributed. They still occasionally make songs. Some of the more relevant recent ones:
This first one makes me think of 4DSTS and how it works vis a vis 3DSTS.
This one could be some sort of SOTT theme song.
This one rounds out the songs that actually have some sort of point beyond the "baby I need youuu, let me hold you toniiight" crap that permeates the airwaves these days.
