i couldn’t hear the robins sing – i just wouldn’t have a clue
I remember when I first watched the Concert for Bangladesh. I reckoned it probably didn’t get much more special than that. The Billy Preston That’s The Way God Planned It moment? Quite unbelievable. And then I remember finding this footage of Bob Dylan and George Harrison rehearsing If Not For You on the extras. I didn’t stop playing it for weeks. It’s the tentativeness that gets me, every time. And the bit where they laugh, of course. Too good.
not a word was spoke between us
everything up to that point had been left unresolved,
try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm,
‘come in,’ she said, ‘i’ll give you shelter from the storm.’
they say ev’ry man needs protection, they say ev’ry man must fall
some place so high above this wall.
i see my light come shining
from the west unto the east
and any day now, any day now
i shall be released.
