Re: Favourite opening lyrics

Here is a rather long one but great start to an amazing song.....

"Music holds the secret
to know can make you whole
Its not just a game of notes
its the sounds inside your soul.

Magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
the notes you play
flow through your head like a dream.....like a dream...like dream

I sing this song for the common man
for the people in dispear
I bring my song into the world
and I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
for everyone to share

so Hold On...
and I will take you there...
hold on and I will...take ..you  there........."

One of the best opening lyrics to a song. My opinion anyway.

Whats the view of other forum members?

Hi Jeff, what artist and track is that from ?

Sorry Brack

Warren Zevon. Werewloves of London from Excitable Boy.

A little different genre, but I always loved:

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so special about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space.

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy... happy
Wish you were here

Re: Favourite opening lyrics

Probably one of my favorite Beatles tunes not just for the lyrics, but the 12 string Rickenbacher intro:     If I needed someone to love
                             
                                   You're the one that I'd be thinking of

                                   If I needed someone

Have your favorite cover band play that and have them dedicate it to your date and see what happens...........now we live together, Thanks George!!!

Re: Favourite opening lyrics

How could we ever forget these memorable opening lyrics?:

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
don't you know that I'll always be true?"


And this is one of my favorite opening lines from our Master of Ceremonies here:

"You drive West on 80 and it won’t take too long,
‘Til the road starts climbing up to mountain time.
There’s a girl I know there, she lives free and easy,
And she shows me wonders and she takes my mind."  cool

Re: Favourite opening lyrics

You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way ?
You could see me bleeding
And you would not put pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself

You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

Re: Favourite opening lyrics

I've been thinking about this long and hard, and I still can't decide if I have a favourite, but some that keep popping into my head are.........

The lunatics are on the grass, the lunatics are on the grass,
Remembering games, daisy chains and laughs,
Got to keep the loonies on the path

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage

and

Don't know much about dancing,
That's why I got this song,
One of my legs is shorter than the other,
And both of my feet's too long

Frank Zappa - Dancing Fool
