Jesse Joe, that would be "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus". Here's the original lyrics:

O soul, are you weary and troubled?

No light in the darkness you see?

There?s a light for a look at the Savior,

And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting

He passed, and we follow Him there;

Over us sin no more hath dominion?

For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you?He promised;

Believe Him, and all will be well:

Then go to a world that is dying,

His perfect salvation to tell!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His glory and grace.

:)-->

It's a sweet, sweet song.

Interestin' topic, Yana!

For the Beatles, I'd say it was Rubber Soul.

[Drive My Car

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

You Won't See Me

Nowhere Man

Think For Yourself

The Word

Michelle

What Goes On

Girl

I?m Looking Through You

In My Life

Wait

If I Needed Someone

Run For Your Life]

They jumped way out on this album, from the cover art, to the writing. The Beatle suits went south. They really staked a claim with their songwriting on it.

Norwegian Wood is on my personal top 10 list of all time greatest songs. So poignant, understated, musically simple, so much implied and so sweetly.

Michelle really set the McCartney tone for years to come. It was like he took the whole cabaret songbook and lept from "Till There Was You" and stamped his own tune in the book with this one. French lines. Killer tune.

In My Life...a classic.

You Won't See Me...whew! The bridge harmonies and chords on:

"time after time you refuse to even listen.

I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing.

(no I wouldn't, no I wouldn't)

great rhythmic pacing...a real Lennon/McCartney irony/contrast twist to it.

I think they sharked out on this one. :)-->

Ignore, Oaks???? Can'na be, laddie!

In fact, you inspire this confession: I think "Crazy Train" has one of the best opening guitar riffs ever...Randy Rhodes? When Ozzie does his "Aiii aiii aiiii!" it's classic, near as good as Roger Dalty's stutter on "My Generation" as a patented bookmark sound. Course then after the first 30 seconds or so....zzzzzz...... :D-->

But Beck....now yer talking! Friend of mine saw him in Oakland, CA. a while back. Said there was no mic onstage, period. No song introductions, no nothing. He just PLAYED, being his skinny li'l bad a$$ self and it was more than enough to sustain the entire concert, he said it was awesome. How many musicians can do that? :)-->

Johniam, never heard much about the Dead while in the Way. They may have been more of an acquired taste, and too "under the radar" since they didn't have much commercial success. (although they made bundles over the years just doing their thing) I know people that sure liked their stuff, though.

Chatty, this comment of yours resonates: "But like most organizations there is always the anal retentive snot nosed understudying whispering in someone?s ear the evils of thus and thus. Think that is where their attitude on music came about." :)-->

As advisors to The King, they remind me of poor, wretched Gollum in the Lord of the Rings....

"they wants to steal precious, master...don't lisss-sten to them...evil they are, master, follow meeee, my master!...."

(careening off topic....

Hope, they're a kick, hey? The same tired a$$ people saying the same tired a$$ things and flogging the same poor ol' tired a$$ dead horse.

"Look at how wonderful we are, can it be so bad when we all smile soooooo much?!" Meanwhile somebody's porking someone else's wife or husband in the next room. The only fun thing about being alone in a room with their "heavy hitters" would be to lock the door and say "Now NOBODY gets out till I say so...." ;)-->

Maybe they should've just had a big box of condoms out in the entrance to the WOW auditorium before SNS's. Then everyone would have at least known what to expect. .........back to topic at hand....)

Awwwww, Chatty...please? please please please please please please please???? Just one?????? I'll personally polish to perfection each and ever cd, removing all stickiness. :P--> (releasing barrage of marshmallows - spak spak spak spoink!)

Not to change the subject from cake and Ozzie, but I just listened to some GREAT music, Amanda Marshall. (thanks A la! :)--> ) Nice stuff, had never heard her before. Last month it was Jann Arden, I was on her cd for a week like sticky on a stamp.

I am also now a dyed in the wool Great Big Sea fan. Those Newfies have a great sound, full of big guitars, lotsa life.

Got tickets to see Nora Jones in August! Yae!! Picked them up the night before she scooped up all those Grammies! And tickets to see the Moody Blues, March 27th. Never saw those guys in the 60's or 70's so I'm hoping it will be a great night of music with fine friends.

"nights in white satin"....doo doo doo doo dooooo.... :)-->

A-ha! There ya go, Oakspear, thanks. I thought they were BS'ers. There goes that small bit of appreciation. :P-->

Chwester, I see what you're saying. I got tripped up on the food/music comparison, but I think I get what you're saying.

I'd compare music differently to eating food, though. Hearing music may be more like rubbing an apple on my head than it would be like eating it. Maybe.

In fact, I suggest a test. Let's all rub cake on our heads, the real high calorie stuff, and see if we gain weight. It may take several pieces to get it right. In further fact, let's all rub cake on each OTHERS heads and see who gains weight! Who wants to be first?? :)-->

:D--> :D--> FOOD FIGHT!!!! :D--> :D-->

Well, Chwester, I'd agree with you that Black Sabbath was always a pretty pi$$ poor band outside of the guitarists who came through it, Randy Rhoads, Jake Lee, Zak Wylde, can't recall any others right off.

IMO Ozzie O was and is a sad-sack "performer" who sounds like a bad case of nasal drip. (ducking bananas from the BS fans!) I dunno, they never moved me. I figured, if Satan is actually using fat a$$es like Ozzie to pump his stuff, he's pretty hard up. But then your average televangelist has roast rump too. I just never took them seriously. Like, if they think that's evil, they need to take a walk through the neighborhood I grew up in and see a guided tour of hell.

Anyway, that's my yearly BS rant. :P-->

I don't understand this though: "Any music you listen to is definitely going to have an effect on the listener. Just as any food you eat is going to effect the eater."

Any music? Has an effect? How do you figure?

Music isn't like glue, it doesn't stick to our brains just because we hear it. I'm not sure what you mean. I'm taking it you're talking about pop music and "songs"? Also. instrumental music is a while different ballgame in my book, it required a much more engaged body and mind.

Granted, if I hear lyrics about killing hamsters or abusing ducks, I turn it off right away but in general, I'm not sure what you mean...?

Hey Goey, I'm inclined to agree with you. Another thing that hits me along these lines is that Lucifer/The Devil isn't actually the mirror image of God, as in the "opposite". God's God. Luci's a created angel of high rank with a bad attitude or something. They aren't equal. So it doesn't follow by any "logic" that ol' Luci would be utomatically able to replicate something like a "birth".

The older Dealing with the Adversary class taught that the "seed" birth thing boiled down to an impregantion that "held the mind" open. I pictured it at the time as sort of a permanent wedge. It was taught that it held the person open to the D.S.'s influence.

I know why Ali won the Louis fight though.

He was one BAD mothah!

"Beavis and Butthead Do America", one of, anyway.

The scene where they meet this old, drunk, destitute couple out in the desert and it turns out to be their long, lost parents. It's sad. :(-->

(In the whole B & B series it's never said where their parents are. Although there are hilarious moments, I think, you keep coming back to where's the parents for these two kids? The movie puts that piece in place).

Both funny and tragic. Classic film making. I know, I'm a softie.

I seeeeeeee, EX10....so clear....all so clear! The previous conflabulations are clearing, but now I think I'm seeing double, o wait. Lemme turn the mirror around. THERE! I've seen the light!!

I've missed some detail, I know. I've searched the front, back, and spines of all my books, and besides a few old sunflower seed shells, nada. I'm meek! Realllly! Heeeelp!

Dearest Larry,

I was about to call for the complete and total deletion of this thread, and any thread that refers, implies, insinuates or even sets within close proximity to it, due to various and sundry irresponsible and incredible statements, but I suddenly realized that there is a juxtaposition between the irresponsible and RESPONSIBLE statements which sets forth a little known and heretofore lost structural figure known in antiquity as "apodectinowyouseeitnowyoudontous".

This isn't apparent upon first reading, in fact after poring over this thread not less than 378 times (not counting partial references to the tape library) it still wasn't apparent, however upon the 379TH time, the various statements began to give off a slight green glow, and it was at that time this structural balance stepped forward and fell in my lap, much like a cup of 160 degree MacDonald's coffee, only not as hot and slightly less wet.

It's there, believe me, and if I had the time to show everyone I would, but I really don't right now, but rest assured I am giving it my full attention. I highly suggest everyone do the full 378 readings and see for themselves.

In the meantime, I am REELING at the possibilities of EX10's "forgetfulness, unremembrance, and cluelessness" offerings. The implications are truly awesome, and once I can get the time to post my thoughts, I will, but needless to say, this changes everything. Everything!!! (all hail EX10!)
