"Free Ride" by the Edgar Winter Group The mountain is high, the valley is low And you're confused on which way to go So I've come here to give you a hand And lead you into the promised land, so Come on and take a free ride Come on and sit here by my side Come on and take a free ride All over the country, I've seen it the same Nobody's winning at this kind of game We gotta do better, it's time to begin You know all the answers must come from within, so Come on and take a free ride Come on and sit here by my side Come on and take a free ride Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, free ride... --------Can anyone tell me what this song is supposed to mean? The lyrics are vague and confusing, but otherwise a great song. Thanks, dude, that makes sense now. Rock on!

Ok Dict, what's this great song mean?
"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am." Logical Song - by Supertramp, yes we've all heard it, but what does the song mean? |

It's about the loss of innocence... I knew it, that's why I like this song so much. At 40, you can really appreciate it.

Those lyrics make Billy Joel seem retarded by comparison, no?
They're a lot deeper....

Ok, here's one by Neil Sedaka, they had him on the Today Show, today.
"Strolling along country roads with my baby It starts to rain, it begins to pour Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin I feel a shiver run up my spine I feel the warmth of her hand in mine Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Ooooo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside After a while we run under a tree I turn to her and she kisses me There with the beat of the rain on the leaves Softly she breathes and I close my eyes Sharing our love under stormy skies Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Ooooo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside I feel the warmth of her hand in mine [Musical Interlude] I feel the warmth of her hand in mine Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Ooooo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside Ooooh, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Ooooo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside" What do you think of when you hear these lyrics? |

Another pianist, Elton John. "Benny and the Jets."
Hey kids, shake it loose together The spotlight's hitting something That's been known to change the weather We'll kill the fatted calf tonight So stick around You're gonna hear electric music Solid walls of sound chorus Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet But they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful Oh Bennie she's really keen She's got electric boots a mohair suit You know I read it in a magazine B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets Hey kids, plug into the faithless Maybe they're blinded But Bennie makes them ageless We shall survive, let us take ourselves along Where we fight our parents out in the streets To find who's right and who's wrong [repeat chorus] [repeat chorus] What was Elton smokin' when he wrote this song? |
