This is one for me..
Most stuff by The Mountain Goats. And Malcolm Middleton too.
Your video wasn't working hopefully this one will. Apologies if its the wrong one.If you like me won't you stay a little while?
We could count the falling stars above our heads.
Will you walk with me another lonesome mile?
And if you should hear a distant voice
Calling from the bottom of the well...
Well, it's just me---I fell in years ago,
When I stumbled onto
The road that leads to heaven.
See the pretty cloud? It's shaped just like a dove.
There is a gust of wind, now it's a famous movie star...
It's reminding me of someone I once loved...
Another gust of wind,
And now it's just a cloud again...
With so much wrote between the lines
You can go crazy trying to read the signs
On the road that leads to heaven.
And on the road map of my heart you are a city
Throwing bright and shining lights into the sky
But this highway I am riding, it just goes on
Passing by, sorry I
Would love to
Hold you in my arms
But today and always
I'm afraid...
Yes I'm afraid I'm on the road that leads to
Heaven...
A second one from me. This is a song by The Men They Couldn't Hang called The Family Way. The song is written by Paul Simmonds (who is my absolute song writing hero - very much my Dylan), and sung by Stefan Cush, who tragically passed away a couple of weeks ago. Stefan was one of the band's co-singers alongside Swill Odgers. I have played this so much recently, and it brings back very significant memories in my life: The Mean Fiddler with a great pal that I haven't seen I years, and countless TMTCH shows up and down this green and pleasant land; my best mate's brother who passed away far too soon and with a young family; great shows and beers with the band; taking the tapes of the band's albums with me around France during the nineties - whether in my back pack or in the car, they were with me everywhere I went.
Great band, great music, great people, and hugely important in my life. I think of so many other people when I hear their songs. Happy memories but a wee bit sad at the same time.
Her first album is my favourite.When I was in college in my depressed moody teen years this got some play.
Great song its on Spotify playlist and earlier on this thread.Heard it today and cut me was
