I like this song well enough, but is there anything actually "strange" about the observations he sites?

Surprised to see someone mention the Porpoise Song. Some lesser know Monkees. Someone knows their music! ...oh, you forgot "Blackbird" on the list of bird sounds. |

Though I like the last few tunes very much...I'm falling into the Zzzzz mode and I need energy. This isn't helping. Help. Btw, the voice sounds a bit too much like Dave Matthews for me to appreciate the vocals. Music nice.

bump to the top, it would serve us well if we all stopped and thought a little bit more of our position in life. (again)
adu wrote:When I listen to this song I picture in my mind a father, perhaps middle aged, someone who experience a lot of struggle. Someone who was very caught up in the world, fighting, ambition. A man with a lot of attachment to the outcome, and in that, suffered failure, and witnessed a great deal of pain. But he finds himself, despite himself, at home, stunned by the beauty of all the little things he had always taken for granted. Just absolutely inspiring. I hope I come home some day.
"Gilgamesh, where are you roaming? The life that you are seeking you will not find. When the heavenly gods created human beings, they kept everlasting for themselves and gave us death. So, Gilgamesh, accept your fate, each day, wash your head, bathe your body, and wear clothes that are sparkling fresh. Fill your stomach with tasty food. Play, sing, dance, and be happy both night and day. Delight in the pleasures that your wife brings you, and cherish the little child who holds your hand. Make every day of your life a feast of rejoicing! This is the task that the gods have set before all human beings. This is the life you should seek, for this is the best life a mortal can hope to achieve."

Humm. I think his voice does have a paulish simonish colour to it. Nice tune it reminds me of something else, I can't put my finger on exactly what..
