Oh, wow--great old tune. Reminded me for a second, for some reaon, of Joe South, too--anybody remember him?

Then, too, I was reminded of that other famous Nillson song, "You're breakin' my heart/ You're tearin' it apart/ so fuck you!"
Oh, gawd, I was tryin' to FORGET that song. "All I wanna do is have a good time, now I'm blue!"

Thanks so very much, Xeric. Haunted now.

As I expected, past comments included several people trashed this song.
I love this song and am so glad RP is playing such a wide range that a masterpiece like this gets thrown into the mix.

I wonder if the author of this comment realizes that this song was a sound track to Midnight Cowboy and starred Angelina Jolie's father?

A very cool movie that is still quite hip.roger wrote:

Sailing on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone."

I would think that the spirit in which a song is conceived & presented can still be perceived by the 'eclectic' few. Is it conceived in the head or in the heart will make all the difference to those who might be receptive to more subtle forces at play.
