It was in Almost Famous movie. That is the tune of freedom, really.<br />I thought of the beatniks and their "On the Road" idea. Without any visual support I saw the canyons and the hills and probably some pictures from the Easy Rider even.Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419277477943238567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-76781237062995610072006-12-20T15:03:00.000-08:002006-12-20T15:03:00.000-08:00To use an often overused word. Genius!!! Interesti...To use an often overused word. Genius!!! Interestingly enough my first exposure to this song was a cover by the British art-rock band YES. This was the first recording that featured then new guitarist Steve Howe and is 11 minutes of pure joy. This version is interwoven with different musical themes and tempos that add many layers of color and texture to Simon's perfect lyrical landscape. It can be found on several compilations. DO NOT get the one that identifies it as the single version. <br /><br />As a matter of fact this was not the first cover song that YES had recorded. They had a tasty six minute version of the Beatles' "Every Little Thing" on their debut, self-titled LP. An oxymoron of bubble gum and art rock. I highly recommend both.<br /><br />"Kathy, I'm lost" is a line that unfortunately has rung true in my life and shakes me to the bone every time I hear it. He HAS to admit it while she is sleeping. Admitting the truth about the motives and relationship are to painful to voice outloud to a lover. Would one feel "lost" if they were hanging out with their true "soul mate".jeffcrouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256255973040541104noreply@blogger.com
