Saying something

Saying something

Boston's "Long Time" is one of my all-time favorite songs. Last night I heard it on my car radio on Highway 1 on the California coast. I recorded it while I was driving. When the same song hits you every time for three decades, it says something!

LONG TIME

Its been such a long time
I think I should be goin, yeah
And time doesnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin
Sail on, on a distant highway
Ive got to keep on chasin a dream
Ive gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin on
Youll forget about me after Ive been gone
And I take what I find, I dont want no more
Its just outside of your front door.

Its been such a long time. its been such a long time.

Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I cant forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
Im tryin to forget your name and leave it all behind me
Youre comin back to find me.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin on
Youll forget about me after iv e been gone
And I take what I find, I dont want no more
Its just outside of your front door.

Its been such a long time. its been such a long time.

Yeah. its been such a long time, I think I should be goin, yeah
And time dosnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin
Theres a long road, Ive gotta stay in time with
Ive got to keep on chasin that dream, though I may never find it
Im always just behind it.

Well Im takin my time, Im just movin along
Takin my time, just movin along
Takin my time, takin my time...

Here's another Boston one

by desi on Sat Nov 15, 2008 08:24 PM PST

Here's another Boston one for you JJ.  Irandokht told me how to embed.  I still can't figure the shit out.

Dont look back
A new day is breakin
Its been too long since I felt this way
I dont mind where I get taken
The road is callin
Today is the day

I can see
It took so long to realize
Im much too strong
Not to comprimise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
Ill turn it around

I finally see the dawn arrivin
I see beyond the road Im drivin
Far away and left behind

Its a new horizon and Im awakin now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin
The clouds are breakin
canse I cant lose now, theres no game to play

I can tell
Theres no more time left to criticize
Ive seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong

I finally see the dawn arrivin
I see beyond the road Im drivin

Far away and left behind

if you're sad and melancholic...

by Azarin Sadegh on Sat Nov 15, 2008 01:29 PM PST

Dear JJ,

If you feel sad an melancholic and hope to move on, to forget about whatever you're running away from, etc...please don't listen to the kind of music that would make you nostalgic, miserable and homesick like this:

No! please don't!

I had already posted this song here...but this time is only and just for you !! Take care.

And, above all...take all your time, but take it aggressively because:

Time will heal but, first it kill honey.

Listen to this :

Bah, Bah...

Rocking on your way to the Old Mexico, Awesome! If I were you I'd light up a good size Doobie, crank up the volume while driving on PCH, Enjoy and Take Care!

BTW, Classic Rock sounds even better now than it did 30+ years ago! great choice of music.

"..The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn.."

by faryarm on Sat Nov 15, 2008 11:11 AM PST

Dedicated to Jahanshah as "fuel" on his trip.

Faryarm 

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE 
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by 
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly

And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face 
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste

Time waits for no one, no favours has he 
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me

Men, they build towers to their passing yes, to their fame everlasting 
Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating

And time waits for no man, and it won't wait for me 
Yes, time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

Drink in your summer, gather your corn 
The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn

And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me

No no no, not for me....
