Talkin' to the Buddha

We went out on the road today
And the sky was full of tears
And each small town looked so blue
And they seemed to ache for better years
Then my cell phone started ringin' wild
Like a fire alarm from hell
And when i picked it up a sad voice said,
"It's time to ring that golden bell"

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
Yeah i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain

He said meet me at joe's diner
Where route 6 meets 88
Well i arrived at the appointed time
But Buddha said, "you're runnin' late"
We both ordered an espresso
From the owner's new machine
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
He said, " ignorance is mean"

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
Yeah i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain

Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
And creation's in travail
Waiting for us all to see the light
And restore what we have failed
The waitress said, "hey you want a refill?"
But Buddha said, "there is no time"
"There's three seconds left to zero"
Then that white light stole my mind

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
I was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Help me stop the rain...

We've been talkin' to the Buddha

Formed in Sleepy Hollow, New York in the late 90's, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams is one of the best known and loved bands in their home state, singled out as Hudson Valley Magazine's "Band of the Year" for the past 3 years. On stage they create an enchanting atmosphere, using traditional folk instruments, tasty electric guitar and the distinctive singing and songwriting of Joziah Longo. Citing influences as diverse as Hank Williams, Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band and early Pink Floyd, Longo describes the band's music as "punk-classical-hillbilly-Floyd", a mental rollercoaster of whimsical, thought-provoking songs. The Circus' live shows are where the real magic comes down, earning them critical acclaim as well as a fiercly loyal following. Their last studio release, "Flapjacks From The Sky" has been hailed as a masterpiece by many and continues to make a buzz internationally as a great americana work of art. Their latest cd, "The Great Unravel", recently released in '08!

What great imagery of upstate NY (?) roads, nice imagery overall, this vid.

And that Steampunk't Cellphone!

I know about Rte 6...but: does it really run into a Rte 88?

[ravensky23]

@Thaxt Glad you liked it. The opening vid I shot in the car coming over from Kent, CT into NY state at Clove Valley. The sign for Rt 6 & 88 was my Photoshop creation ;-)

Love what you did with this terrific song ~ I'm an old friend of GM& SCD

Maybe if you like a song by one of our bands you could create something similar~

In any case, cheers!
