"white bird"----it was by a group called "it's a beautiful day"---
i hesitated to look into the meaning of the song, for fear it could mean something, that i had not read into it all those years ago---i might look it up after i finish this---
but whatever the intent of the song---for me, it spoke of passions for living and it spoke to my soul and touched me in a extreme way
it stirred my emotions and made me dream of possibilities and the power inside myself--to soar, like this great white bird
when i bought their album for this song, i discovered another wonderful cut----"hot summer day"---which proved to touch me in much the same way
it is one of those albums that can transport me back----sitting by the river with my friends---staring at the sky and daring to let my mind wander at the future while realizing the depth of connection that music would always hold to those days
I have some songs that transport me back too. A few of them I listened too during my college years which were the most carefree of my life.
ReplyDeleteyes---i listened to half of this album this morning--wonderful feelings, it all brings back :)
DeleteAh, memories! People talk about scents taking them back in time, but I don't think there's anything as powerful as music when it comes to time travel.
ReplyDelete...
...
Oh my gosh! That's it!
*racing down the stairs to the scientists locked in my basement working on a time machine* "Hey, I think I know what we're missing!"
haha i think that is an excellent idea crystal!!!!
DeleteI love your memories. It's a Beautiful day is great group.
ReplyDeletethey really were---and i am pretty sure they are still around--thought we might both remember them--thanks teresa :)
DeleteSome songs definitely bring back certain moments of my life. I remember being in junior high and lying on my back on my bed, staring at the huge pine tree in our yard and listening to Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence." The memory is as vivid as if it had happened yesterday...
ReplyDeletei know---it's great when that happens--i think i remember that song, but i am going to look it up--have a great weekend dana :)
Deleteoh yeah, playing it now and shared it on my fb -- dedicated it to you-- i always thought jackson browne sang this!
DeleteI have given you a 'Versatile Blogger' Award. http://msdeniseh553.blogspot.com/2013/04/v-is-also-for-versatile-blogger.html

DeleteI love how music has the power to touch our hearts & souls. I often write with mood-matching music in the background as inspiration. Cheers!

i will read other people's blogs and comment with music on--but as i have gotten older, i have to have quiet when i write--cheers to you!
DeleteMusic has the ability to transport me back to the times I was a different person, more energetic and alive with possibilities for the future.
ReplyDeleteoh i know---it can sometimes make me restless if i listen too long, ms. a :)
DeleteWhite bird has a special significance for me. I had a little sailing boat named Arawa which is a Maori word meaning white bird. It was also the name of the first Maori canoe to reach New Zealand.
ReplyDeletereally, that's so cool jp---do you know the song?
DeleteMaybe don't look it up? Reminds me of that line in the movie 27 Dresses where she says 'I feel like I just found out my favorite song is really about a sandwich.' : )
ReplyDeletewell ya know, i was afraid it might be about drugs, but i actually did look it up and it is a sweet story about their early years and struggles--so no worries :)
DeleteSuch a cool song! It's amazing how a song can transport you back to another time and place... although I should probably avoid regressing back to my 80s cheesy pop phase! ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha--hmmm there maybe a few good ones from the 80s ;)
DeleteMusic has such a powerful affect on the memories. Nothing can make them come flooding back like a song.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this one, but I like it!
oh you listened--yay---i love sharing stuff--glad you enjoyed it theresa :)
DeleteMusic is a powerful medium. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, one of the best---hey you too christine :)
