Music is my soul food. I’ve heard some really great songs lately, all of which have been discovered in my own music library. I don’t know how they got in there, but I have to believe my guardian angel is one of the Beatles…or possibly Jimi Hendrix himself. Here is one of the songs that made me stop in my crazy day tracks and listen. My soul feasted, my breath slowed, and my homework waited.
Listen…..cause I said so.
“Back To Forever”
Frozen in frame. Never get older
Days pass and time just slips away
The summers that came. Lasted for ages
Drinking coke in the shame. Sunburnt faces
I grew up and I.. went away
But I always said that I’d come back someday
To be laid down
Take me back to forever
That’s where I was born to be
How’d I end up in this land of never
Only memories
It used to go slow,
But now it’s so fast
It melts like the snow,
Christmas midwest
Time lapses years just drift away
But I always said that I’d come back someday
to be laid down
Take me back to forever
That’s where I was born to be
How’d I end up in this land of never
Only memories
In this spot.
This exact spot
Is where I’d hide until I got caught
And this place, this is my place
And homes all I got so
Take me back to forever
That’s where I just long to be
How’d I end up in this land of never
Only memories
Oh my memories,
they come back to me.
Oh my memories.
