Love's Been Good To Me

[verwoestijning]

"if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

[mettanc]

@verwoestijning Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

[gerdenshed]

This is one of my most favourite songs of yours Michael... I love it ;o)

[JeanaDylan83]

@mettanc Stunning :-)) One word for this video :))

[JeanaDylan83]

Jeana stair's dreamy eyed!!! ~o-o~

!Sigh!

[mettanc]

@JeanaDylan83 i know i am close to the camera, but the mic is there, so i need to be close to give it a personal feel.

[josephdupont]

I've done this song on youtube. I used reverb..

I cheated... you did it without the fancy stuff with great results.

Try it with some reverb... it is a great song.

[mettanc]

@josephdupont i don't have reverb. i do come pretty close to reverb type sound when i sing in my garage however.

i agree, super song.

z 5*

[mettanc]

yeah this is a great song....like "cycles", timeless really.

michael

[westforkcreek]

I've just listened to Love's Been Good to Me and Cycles. You did a great job with both. I'd love to hear your interpretation of

Listen to the Warm

please!!!!!

[mettanc]

thank u...i don' think i know that song...i would like to hear it.

michael

[mettanc]

i just heard that the writer for cycles just died last month...sad.

michael

[westforkcreek]

Listen to the Warm was the title of a McKuen song and the last four words of his poem called Thirty-Six.  This block here won't give me space to post the whole poem. Here are the last few lines, to give you the flavor of it. I do remember. The only fuzzy circumstance is sometimes where-and-how Why, I know. It happens just because we need to want and to be wanted too, when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and listen to the warm.

[mettanc]

i like McKuen song's.....i was so lucky to find this music.....that si the problem...finding the music.

michael

[westforkcreek]

I found the lyrics last night on a CD by Glenn Yarbrough called 'I Think of You.' The songs on it are Rod McKuen's. Unfortunately, Yarbrough's voice isn't quite as good. Here are the lyrics for Listen To The Warm:

Soft ... Listen to the warm

the night is almost gone and we can listen to the warm.

Soft ... Listen to the warm 'till the edge of dawn, we can listen to the warm.

continued next post ...

[westforkcreek]

Listen to the Warm lyrics continued

Love: it's either famine or a feast. You have to learn to smile at least and store up pleasures for that rainy day love goes away and then

Soft - listen to the warm, the night is almost gone and we can listen to the warm.

[helistuntpilot]

that was just great, the best I've come across, and I have seen a few!! well done

[mettanc]

thank you....its a great song......
