~~ random best ~~ Jon Anderson - take your time (1980)
from the album: Song of Seven
Rushing here and there, I'm told to slow down
Just relax, take your time, don't move fast, so fast
Tempers in the air, I'm told to slow down, ease back
By the fire, feel free, feel free
People pushing by and why
I don't mind, take my time, there's no race
Life is fine, life is fine
Come and take my hand and we'll be in a dream
Just relax, there's no rush, take your time
Take your time
Worries on your mind, always try to find happiness
Looking everywhere, life is but a care
Love will come always to you
Rushing here and there, I'm told
To slow down, just relax, take your time, don't move fast so fast
Tempers in the air, I'm told to slow down
Ease back by the fire, feel free, feel free
People pushing by and why
I don't mind, take my time, there's no race
Life is fine, life is fine
Come and take my hand and we'll be in a dream
Just relax, there's no rush, take your time
Take your time
~~ random best ~~ Grace Slick & Linda Perry - knock me out (1996)
Amazing song from 'Jefferson Airplane' Grace Slick and '4 Non Blondes' Linda Perry.
Soundtrack song from the Movie 'The Crow: City of Angels'.
You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober
Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it
Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted
So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain
Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry
It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why
Don't touch
Feel so much
And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know
But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this
So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away
You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober
Jon Anderson - incoming (2010)
from his album:survival & other stories
They come in sacred ways before the sunlight
They come through sacred worlds in stories full of real life
They come in sacred moves that send them flying over you
They come in sacred moves and purpose slowly take like fire like too
With every mountain they invite the sacred song
Within the very lore of being now, now...
So full of wisdom so descend upon this mantra life
They come in sacred moves that turn around and touch you closely
They turn the sacred way the thought is of the first time knowing
So reach out when they are calling
Take the time to even notice they are part of you
For the finding of the secret you can always rediscover it true...
They come in moonlight all the more because they like to
Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon...
Of all the takes and dances of the bitter stone
Of all the fixes and corruption we are ever to see
How the bridge now delivers, the breaking of man
All ever to the sinner life ever total time
Take a drink from this better life
Take a drink from this better life
Better by far...
They call it seeing of the children's life thirst for love
They call it take away the children's fear of life
Call it 'this time' first time, changing the signs
They call it seeing the children for the very first time
Call it 'that, that river of eternal bliss'
Call it quintessential time
Call it 'everything is light'
Call it this time, this time...
Discovery of the silver moonlight turning too
Discovery of the days of happening through to you
Discovery of the days of happening close to you
Discover all the things are coming coming round
They call it days of wonder
They call it every day is calling calling round
They call it 'children of the diamond life'
For giving us light
Forever changing our design
Forever to be sung
For all we see, for all the savior, they're calling us
Sent us giving love, sent us giving love...

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
World pollution, theres no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
God knows how I adore life When the wind turns on the shore, lies another day I cannot ask for more When the time bell blows my heart And I have scored a better day Well nobody made this war of mine And the moments that I enjoy A place of love and mysteryI'll be there anytime Oh, mysteries of love Where war is no moreI'll be there anytime When the time bell blows my heart And I have scored a better day Well nobody made this war of mine And the moments that I enjoy A place of love and mystery I'll be there anytime Mysteries of love Where war is no more I'll be there anytime

The glow around your face
When you see the lightning race
I know I'm very near
And I can hear the thunder
A woman of perplexity
A woman for eternity
A woman of the land
A woman for a man
I'm down on my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
It's hard to fall out
of love
completely
It's harder to find a way
to come back discreetly
To speak of things anew
To weep in quiet blue
Brocade upon your bed
Memories should fade
At least of you
A sceptre of ice and fire
A spectre of my desire
A girl-child of such loveliness
The woman of my emptiness
A woman of famed renown
A woman who kicks the clown
A woman of the land
A woman for a man
Riding in this car on the ~~ highway of love
Simply Looking for a place to dance the night
She smiled at me and said: "Which way do you wanna go now?"
I said: "It could be this way... It could be that"
"Come in to my room"
"You can dance with my tune"
"You can dance with my body"
"You can dance with my love"
"You can dance in these arms"
"You can dance with my life"
"You can dance with each rhythm above you"
She said...
"S—lo quiero tu amor" (I just want your love)
"S—lo amantes saben como vivi" (Only lovers know how I lived)
"Completamente libre" (Completely free)
"Bailando entre sue–os enamorados" (Dancing between loved dreams)
"Pensando en esse amor se puede so–ar" (Thinking of that love, one can dream)
"Revivir, revivir" (To relive,to relive)
"Ven conmigo esta noche" (Come with me tonight)
"A bailar, a bailar" (To dance... to dance...)
"Ven a bailar..." (Come to dance...)
"Come dance with me" she said
So we went into the rhythm of piano conversation
And in the corner was this man singing to his friends
She took me by the hand...
Said "This is the way... this is the way to paradise!"
"Just dance with me... I'll bring you higher... higher..."
"To be true, to be right..."
"This is the play... the place you love..."
"the is the drama within you... they call it Midnight Dancing"

Speck Mountain is a psychedelic rock band based out of Chicago, Illinois. Their sound can be described as space rock although an equal amount of weight is given to lyrics and song structures as to the intricate, echoing atmospheres that surround them. These vivid arrangements are created entirely using analog equipment and recording techniques, just as the songs themselves recall the scope of classic 1970s rock, and even soul.
