GeorgeStGeorge Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks. In the Nostalgia Thread, everyone kind of hints at the answer to the clues, but sooner or later the actual answer is given. Please show the same consideration to those of us not "in the know." George :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Strange Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah... I've been scolded over there for giving the answer... I'm old and have a hard time keeping them straight!

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Here's a little more:
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
The next line would give away the title.

What the heck... it's "Tonight, Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
Very influential band in the 90's, the band is nothing without the leader/songwriter, Billy Corgan.

Here's a new one... it should go quickly...
(editorial aside: there's a lot of 'wisdom' in the words of this song...
or is 'truisms' the word I'm looking for?)
These times are so uncertain
Theres a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?

A Glass of Single Barrel Gentleman Jack on the table,
the sound of ice cracking as it slowly melts...
A 20 year old Churchill in the ashtray
a stream of smoke rising from the half glowing ember,
having just closed a Volume of prose by Poe
when you hear....
You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
flowing out of the Acoustic Wave
It doesn't get any better.....
