Bob Seger and his CD: "Face the Promise"
His lyrics, as always, are spot on and bitting.
My favorite songs in this collection are:
"Wreck This Heart:
There's time to work, time to live
There's only so much time around
And if you lean to far over the wishing well
You might fall in and drown"
"No Matter Who You Are:
This is an ancient test, it's a shiny lie
Discover somethin' pure then sit and watch it die...
Between the soaring dream and the bottom line
So much is given up so much is left behind
Yeah
This is the price you pay, this is the beast you feed
When you abandon hope and give into greed"
"Are You:
Most of what we want is just illusion
Most of what we buy won't change a thing
Most of what we're told is misdirection
Offered up to easy our suffering"
"Simplicity:
Keep your focus on your goal
Use that iron hard control
Use your power and your speed
Get exactly what you need"
"No More:
It was forty years ago and I was young
And the jungle not the desert heard the guns
Someone said they had a secret plan
And the rest of us were told to understand"
"Won't Stop:
There's always tomorrow, always a chance
You can stand in the spotlight and not have to dance
You can find something solid, stronger than steel
And it might touch your heart 'cause it just
might be real"
"The Long Goodbye:
I look into your restless eyes
You turn away it's no surpise
I wonder if it's even wise...but..
I'm still here"
"Wait For Me:
And I'll fight for the right to go over that hill
if it only means something to me.
I will not be persuaded I won't be still
I'll find a way to be free"
