Martyn,
Ah - from Q 82 -"Can't Depend On Love" . I agree - those words
work, like you say. I've always loved that song, and it has one uniqueness that stands out to me instrumentally.
I don't think - off of the top of my head, that any other song has what I assume to be a
HARP.It rips just a few times,
but ads a light-hearted ..thing... to the song, making it unique in that regard to me.
The orchestration is beautiful, too, one of my hallmark reasons for liking the 70 - 78 period, and most specifically the 72 - 75 period. I'm glad this thread has had some general comments on the songs, too, as you chose;
just as I have tried to inject some
humour, some western matinee, and this last piece of hooey I did announcing Q's 85 -90, I found bits and pieces of that on the thread from some really
weird and pretentious grad student in literature stuff that was hilarious.... and strange. Not that I am that way, lol. This guy that did most of that actually
created a new universal language, but all he did in his long paper was talk about it, not reveal it. haha .
I pulled lines here and there, changed the wording, and added the Lightoot'isms in order that I not plagiarize.
It might be wise of me anyway to cite it. But this isn't an academic site... ya know ?...
I mean... we pull stuff off of the thread all the time, and the only citing we do is to hyperlink for people, I think.
Still..... I'd hate to see my work -
shudder if that was mine
-that he wrote, if it were mine, torn-up, rewritten, and have humour and Lightfoot words replacing his "
a little to serious stuff..." lol... Thanks for the input Martyn, and I hope to see you playing the quiz game herein.
