Peace Train

What a wild ride!

I haven't been drawing, but listening to this song over and over...

Imagine a train that could go anywhere you wanted to go.

Let's ride on the Peace Train.

 

Here is Cat Stevens in 1976 - live version

 


Peace Train (live) - Cat Stevens

 

... and thirty two years later in 2008.

What an amazing song.

 


Yusuf Islam - Peace Train - OUTSTANDING!

 

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on peace train
Yes, it's the peace train

Sunshine 日光

Are you glowing? Is the sun sparkling through you?

I have no memory of where I heard this song, probably the radio, but it is familiar...

Long live the music of the 60's!

 


The Fifth Dimension - Aquarius - Let The Sunshine In - Bubblerock Promo

 

Here's another 60's classic by the Fifth Dimension. I love the outfits, designed for an optimistic future... and flying. Imagine that.

Breakthrough to something new

 

Carly Simon sings:

We can never know about the days to come

But we think about them anyway...

 

Breakthrough to the future, I wonder what's coming?

 


Carly Simon - Anticipation

 

Here's her classic hit included just because it's so great.
