They've been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their time glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days in remembrance of ignorance's oldest praise
Tell me, who of them will come to be?
How many of them are you and me?
Dissipation
Race relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation
To the evils of the world
They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds for the day that sorrow's lost from time
They keep telling of the day when the savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be?
How many of them are you and me?
Proclamation
Of race relations
Consolation
Integretion
Verification

World salvation
Vibrations

They've been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives living in a pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives, living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones life for living in the pastime paradise

Most of them - well above half - use a I-IV-V pattern - just like the rest, always in 4/4 time, with verse X4, X2, then chorus, possibly a bridge, and repeat. What formulaic bullshit, right? Wrong - knowing how a song is constructed has nothing to do with realizing the art in it. It is the art - the feeling - that is important to me. Sure, I like me some great playing, too, but I also love me some good sampling. That fucking van Gogh - putting oil on canvas! What a shlock! What a farce! I call bullshit! The post of the year - right here. Thank you [ Reply ]

enkay Aug 11, 2012 - 19:24	Oh man, Stevie had great music spilling out of his fingers and toes in the 70's. He could barely get it down on tape fast enough. Love this. And the album is still peerless. [ Reply ]

For those of us who loved him as a pop artist, these works revealed his depth as a musician and his prowess as a composer. Similar runs—with similar attributes (musical depth and masterful composition)—IMHO include the likes of The Beatles, Joe Jackson, and Steely Dan with Prince and Beck close enough. agreed. those album covers are all so familiar. I must have played them to death. thanks for the shot of nostalgia... another similar run was elton john's during those same years... [ Reply ]
fitzworld Aug 01, 2012 - 11:11	I love Stevie but this song (lyrics and melody) brings new meaning to the words "repetitive" and "monotonous." [ Reply ]
