The Kinks were known for both rocking tunes and thoughtful ballads as well. So were many group in the rock 'n' roll venue. Here's one of my favorites. It's now officially Summer time here in California and this song has been on my mind. Sunny Afternoon.  

 

  1. Sunny Afternoon

    The tax man's taken all my dough
    And left me in my stately home
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon
    And I can't sail my yacht
    He's taken everything I got
    All I've got's this sunny afternoon

    Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
    I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
    And I love to live so pleasantly
    Live this life of luxury
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon
    In the summertime
    In the summertime
    In the summertime

    My girlfriend's run off with my car
    And gone back to her ma and pa
    Telling tails of drunkenness and cruelty
    Now I'm sitting here
    Sipping at my ice cold beer
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon

    Help me, help me, help me sail away
    Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
    'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
    Live this life of luxury
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon
    In the summertime
    In the summertime
    In the summertime

    Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
    I gotta big fat mama trying to break me
    And I love to live so pleasantly
    Live this life of luxury
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon
    In the summertime
    In the summertime
    In the summertime
    In the summertime
    In the summertime

I forgot to mention Traffic, Cream, and Robin Trower (although he wasn't a singer).

I've always admired Steve Winwood from the first time I heard Gimme Some Lovin' By The Spencer Davis Group. And Traffic were also terrific. Blind Faith also. But I think some of Steve's best was when he went solo. No doubt you've heard this, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Steve Winwood ~ Wake Me Up On Judgement Day (7" Vinyl-Extended Cut)  

Find this on YouTube or PM me. I can't post it here.

 

  1. Wake Me Up On Judgement Day

    The story goes, the truth is no one knows
    A stranger came
    A man who lost his name
    At night he tells his tale
    Prison, women, wail
    They took him in, he let them win
    Over and over

    He said if you don't have good words to say
    Don't wake me up until the Judgment Day
    'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
    Then this life is just a haunted dream
    And all this love is just falling
    Down through the years
    And oh, I'd rather sleep

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Let me hear golden trumpets play
    Give me life where nothing fails
    Not a dream in a wishing well

    A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
    The darkness grows, that's how it goes
    Over and over

    He said I think of the beauty I've had
    And all it does is make me feel so bad
    First they make you think you're riding high
    Then they toss you off in the sky
    And all this life is just falling
    Down through the years
    And oh, I'd rather sleep

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Let me hear golden trumpets play
    Give me life where nothing fails
    Not a dream in a wishing well

    Say a prayer for the stranger
    Listen to the stranger

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Let me hear golden trumpets play
    Give me life where nothing fails
    Not a dream in a wishing well

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Let me hear golden trumpets play
    Give me life where nothing fails
    Not a dream in a wishing well

    Wake me up
    Let me hear (let me hear, ooh)
    Give me life (give me life, ooh)
    Not a dream in a wishing well

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Let me hear golden trumpets play (give me life)
    Give me life where nothing fails (ooh)
    Not a dream in a wishing well (woah, woah)

    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Give me life
    Give me life where nothing fails (woah)
    Oh
    Wake me up on Judgment Day
    Give me life, give me life
    Give me life, give me life

Steve Winwood started at such a young age, his talents are practically unbelievable.  Keyboards, guitars, vocals; he just gets better with age.  Steve was 14 when he and his brother were with the Spencer Davis Group.  Many people don't realize he cowrote I'm a Man that Chicago made famous on their first LP in 1967.

Anyone like the Clash?

Well, in as much when punk music and new wave/alternative interspersed as a style at the ending of the 1970's and meshed into the 1980's one basic media for MTV, I did like the simplistic raw sound of The Clash. The one thing I didn't care about them was a line to one of the stanzas on London Calling.

"Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust..." It did whaaaa??? :huh:

Just going to drop this here. Just don't start dancing :ph34r:

Cliff Richard 

 

"Blame It On The Bossa Nova"
 

I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance, swaying' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)

Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt

Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune? )
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)

(Now was it the moon?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
