In a dog's life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven



These lyrics make me sad.... sad for Neil that he has to live with knowing he wrote them.

Pretty much every lyric on Vapor Trails makes me sad, but in a good way. Bittersweet, I guess. Not depressing sad, but kinda nostalgic.

Some of his best, for sure.

goodpost.gif The lyrics to the title track are particularly chilling:

 

"Swept away like voices in a hurricane"

The lyrics to "Vapor Trail" give me chills every time.

 

 

How about

 

You can never break the chain

There is never love without pain

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

You can never break the chain

Life is a power that remains

There is never love without pain

A healing hand, a secret touch on the heart

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?


From "Tears"

doh.gif forgot tears! It does make me feel sad but I love that track!

"Available Light"- 1989, I wonder how Neil feels now.

I never took these lyrics as sad. Emotional for sure.

 

I'll have to re-visit them...

 

play of light

a photograph

the way I used to be

some half-forgotten stranger

doesn't mean that much to me

 

trick of light

moving picture

moments caught in flight

make the shadows darker

or the colors shine too bright

 

Seems he's saying that memories captured in photos are often shadows of the truth, amplifying our emotions, whether happy or sad.

I let out a tear or two when I listened to Middletown Dreams.

 

"The office door closed early

The hidden bottle came out

The salesman turned to close the blinds

A little slow now, a little stout

But he's still heading down those tracks

Any day now for sure

Another day as drab as today

Is more than a man can endure

 

Dreams flow across the heartland

Feeding on the fires

Dreams transport desires

Drive you when you're down --

Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town"
