Tower of Song

Tower of Song by Leonard Cohen with U2

A perfect song to suit my mood in this cold, rainy night. Put your headset on and let Cohen's poetry and raw voice take you to places you'd like go.

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on

Im just paying my rent every day

Oh in the tower of song

I said to hank williams: how lonely does it get?

Hank williams hasnt answered yet

But I hear him coughing all night long

A hundred floors above me

In the tower of song

I was born like this, I had no choice

I was born with the gift of a golden voice

And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond

They tied me to this table right here

In the tower of song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll

Im very sorry, baby, doesnt look like me at all

Im standing by the window where the light is strong

Ah they dont let a woman kill you

Not in the tower of song

Now you can say that Ive grown bitter but of this you may be sure

The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor

And theres a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong

You see, you hear these funny voices

In the tower of song

I see you standing on the other side

I dont know how the river got so wide

I loved you baby, way back when

And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed

But I feel so close to everything that we lost

Well never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell, I dont know when Ill be back

There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track

But youll be hearing from me baby, long after Im gone

Ill be speaking to you sweetly

From a window in the tower of song

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

And Im crazy for love but Im not coming on

Im just paying my rent every day

Oh in the tower of song

Afternoon Delight

Patapat Viaduct, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte

I dream of driving on this highway someday soon. And this would be the perfect song to sing along...



Afternoon Delight
Starland Vocal Band

"Afternoon Delight" was a quintessential soft rock chart-topping single from the Starland Vocal Band's debut album in the summer of 1976, which peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 200 and remained on the album charts for 25 weeks.

Baker Street



Baker Street

Gerry Rafferty, City to City album, 1978

Winding your way down on Baker Street

Light in your head and dead on your feet

Well another crazy day

You drink the night away

And forget about everything

This city desert makes she feel so cold

It's got so many people but it's got no soul

And it's taken you so long

To find out you were wrong

When you thought it held everything

Used to think that it was so easy

Used to say that it was so easy

But you're trying, you're trying now

Another year and then you'd be happy

Just one more year and then you'll be happy

But you're crying, you're crying now

Ref. [Saxophone solo]

Way down the street there's a light in his place

He opens the door, he's got that look on his face

And he asked where you've been

You tell him who you've seen

And you talk about anything

He's got this dream about buying some land

He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands

And then he'll settle downIn this quiet little town

And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving

You know, he's never gonna stop moving

Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone

When you wake up, it's a new morning

The sun is shining, it's a new morning

When you're going, you're going home...
