Silence
And a deeper silence
When the crickets
Hesitate

Be aware: there is a Fake Hallelujah sung by Elvis Presley in Youtube. I have just seen it. The date is "five years ago". (It shocks me not having noticed, giving the time lapse). It's a very well done montage, probably with an audio program, with a program that converts text to audio (voi...

Re: Looking for an axplanation for "Seems so long ago Nancy
Gary Rob: "If she committed suicide, how are many men seeing her everywhere and coldly using her body for sex?" I think this is kind of a flashback, where after Nancy's death you [we?] (And now you look around you/See her everywhere) you remember her, and you remember when she was alive. B...

Excuse me for writing again in Spanish, but the song of Jimmy Webb remembers me of another song in Spanish!

Re: Remembering Leonard
Federico García Lorca wrote a poem called "La Guitarra" (The Guitar): LA GUITARRA - POEMA DE LA SEGUIRIYA GITANA (Cante Jondo) Empieza el llanto de la guitarra. Se rompen las copas de la madrugada. Empieza el llanto de la guitarra. Es inútil callarla. Es imposible callarla. Llora monótona ...

Re: Song Meanings
I always wondered what was the meaning of "The Old Revolution". I thought it was a reference to Vietnam War. After reading your message, I wonder if what you say about "A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes" can apply to "The Old Revolution".
