We are rushing inexorably towards Tuesday. I suppose only a huge meteor strike or the caldera of Yellowstone exploding would stop the process. We want so much to believe in the process, to believe in the people running for office.
And so I give you my second to last offering of songs that speak to me.
Reason to Believe – by Tim Hardin off of his first album from 1966 recorded at different times by Scott McKenzie and Rod Stewart
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself
Bahahaha! I guess if the caldera of Yellowstone explodes, I, for one, won't have to worry about the election! ;) Great song. Sad song.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's better to be at the epicenter of that explosion, when it happens (no if) than to be, as I am, left in the aftermath. It won't be pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad song, and beautiful.
Great choice. The lyrics are familiar, now I'm trying to remember the tune...
ReplyDeleteI'll be glad when it's over . . . I think . . .
ReplyDelete*sigh* will it ever really be over?
Well, I suppose it would (for some)if Yellowstone blew . . .
