I Never Dreamed

Who Knows Where The Time Goes
The second song Sandy Denny ever wrote, it was the final ever song she performed live before her death at 31. She had recorded a demo of it as early as 1966, and recorded a version for The Strawbs "All Our Own Work" LP in 1968. Judy Collins recorded a version in 1968 and released it as the B-side to her cover of Joni Michell's "Both Sides Now" single, which introduced the song to a wider audience. Sandy recorded the definitive version in early 1969 with Fairport Convention for their "Unhalfbricking" LP, which was released in July of 1969.

Northern Sky
Nick Drake wrote this song, and recorded it in 1970 with The Velvet Undergound's John Cale producing and providing backing instrumentation on piano, organ, and celesta. It was released on Drake's 1971 LP "Bryter Later", although Island Records decided against releasing it as a single.

Jesus Is Waiting
Recorded in 1972, it is the last song on Al Green's masterpiece 1973 soul album "Call Me".
This is a great live, non-lip-synched version he performed on Soul Train:

Since I'm here and I was just
Since I'm here and I was just writing a "short story" about my final Jerry song in a different thread, I can easily list that final Jerry/GD song here (Brokedown Palace, Shoreline Amphitheatre, 6/4/95) since I went back and listened to it again tonight.
Because of the immensely of that particular version of Brokedown Palace for me personally and in the larger context of it being the final song Jerry ever played in the Bay Area, it ALWAYS brings a tear (or three) to my eye, and it did once again tonight.
(sniff, sniff)
LONG LIVE JERRY GARCIA!!!
LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!

>>>Joni Mitchell at the Grammys a few weeks ago - Both Sides Now<<<
And that's another one, but I would say that the version she did at the Gorge earlier this year was SO much better, but either way, the enormity of her singing that song about the changes of time now at 80 years of age, when she wrote it at 23 years of age, most definitely makes me leak.
How could she know???

What a legend, what a genius Joni Mitchell is.
Long live Joni Mitchell!!!

Not exactly on point, and I don't have a link..... but Trombone Shorty has a ballad that they play while walking up the aisles through the crowd. Last night, in Kingston NY, there was a little girl - obviously paraplegic - on the aisle< He stopped in his tracks and played a beautiful, soulful solo to her.
Not a dry eye in the house ....

Stumbled across this dynamite
Stumbled across this dynamite cover of James Taylor's "Fire And Rain" from Sammi Smith's "Lonesome" LP today. It's a real good album for fans of Sad Girl Country:

Help Me Remember is a great
Help Me Remember is a great song Slick.
I would rather be with you.
Standing on the moon
I got no cobweb on my shoe
Standing on the moon
I'm feeling so alone and blue
I see the Gulf of Mexico
As tiny as a tear
The coast of California
Must be somewhere over here, over here
[Chorus]
Standing on the moon
I see the battle rage below
Standing on the moon
I see the soldiers come and go
There's a metal flag beside me
Someone planted long ago
Old Glory standing stiffly
Crimson, white and indigo
Old Glory standing stiffly
Crimson, white and indigo
Indigo
[Verse 2]
I see all of Southeast Asia
I can see El Salvador
I hear the cries of children
And the other songs of war
It's like a mighty melody
That rings down from the sky
Standing here upon the moon
I watch it all roll by, all roll by
All roll by, all roll by
[Chorus]
Standing on the moon
I see a shadow on the sun
Standing on the moon
The stars go fading one by one
I hear a cry of victory
And another of defeat
A scrap of age-old lullaby
Down some forgotten street
Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up at heaven
At this crescent in the sky, in the sky
Standing on the moon
With nothing left to do
A lovely view of heaven
But I'd rather be with you
A lovely view of heaven
But I'd rather be with you, be with you
[Outro]
Be with you, I'd rather be with you
Be with you, I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you

Yes, beautiful, amazing, and reminded me of my dad after his Alzheimer's had advanced pretty far. Music helped him find his way, and Ripple was a special song for him.

Thanks Mark. Looking forward to seeing Hayes Carll at a local fest this May. A friend took his songwriting class at Targhee Music Camp and just raved about him after.
Thanks Joe. That video is one of the most touching things I've ever seen.

That's incredible, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Gives new meaning to the idea of "muscle memory" too.

A couple of contributions.
A couple of more contributions.
First, "Old Smoothies" by Steve Goodman could bring a tear to someone's eye. Great story and song. Great album -"Affordable Art" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrQkJ2Tn-CY
Miss that guy. Thank goodness he brought Kris Kristofferson to meet his pal John Prine. So many great songs by both of them.
Maybe not a tear, but having been on a few river trips, this "Canyon" album from Paul Winter is one near and dear to my heart and I admit I get somewhat emotional listing to two of the cuts, "Grand Canyon Sunrise" and "Grand Canyon Sunset." When Paul Winter blasts those notes, it takes me places and moves me. Especially the crescendo in "GC Sunrise" as the sun slowly rises and finally emerges from behind the canyon walls and paints the canyon in sunlight. The last blasts in "GC Sunset" as the daylight fades hits me too. The drumming represents the flowing river.
I invite you to check it out here: https://paulwinter.com/canyon/ An amazing album.
