My dad is a drummer and has been learning this song (aka listening on repeat)
Iāve been listening to this song basically my entire life and it always lived in my brain as a āmusic songā more so than a ālyric songā if you know what I meanā¦ BUT hearing it recently I realized it has the most beautiful lyrics ever so it now lives in my head as one of the best songs of all timeš
āā¦
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no moreā¦ā

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages
Found me well on her words
I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The TuscarawasĀ flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
(Can't count to all the lovers I've burnt through
So why do I still burn for you? I can't say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days) BEST VERSE EVER
Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests
So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem
A star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices are heard along the way
(Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore) ahhhh

I fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
And again, and again, and again
And again, and again...

Itās a strange song from 1972 about a father leaving his wife and daughter while his child runs after him in confusion.
I love a weird bop and this one takes the cake. Itās unfortunately stuck in my head so Iām sharing itās curse.

There are SO many great series out here these days, and this isnāt anything new or groundbreaking, but Iāve been watching Adventure Time since I was a little kid- I have watched it in full dozens of times at least.
Iām amazed every viewing at how I am able to understand new profound themes along with new levels of silliness.
The creator is basically a genius and I think itās one of the most beautiful and underrated cartoons everrrrr

Iāve been obsessed with this app that identifies birdies based on their calls and songs!
Itās incredible how many different birds are in my yard at different times of day.
Iām so excited to use it while traveling tooš
