Fiddle and the Drum
    #5053875 - 12/12/05 06:08 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

And so once again
My dear Johnny
My dear friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all

And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry
And I fall
Oh my friend how did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say I have turned
Like the enemies you earned
But I can remember all the
Good things you are

And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace
And the star
Oh my friend what time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

And so once again
Oh america my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all

And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry
And we fall
Oh my friend how did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum?

You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember all the
Good things you are

And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace
And the star
Oh my friend we have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

APC does a kick ass cover of that song. Anyways, very relevant to the current situation in America I think, with "Johnny" being Johnny Appleseed or any other American archetypal figure.

I was just about to say that myself. They covered it very well.

Good song.

The secret to being funny is to say smart things stupidly, or is it stupid things smartly? Whatever..it's not rocket surgery...or something like that.

:thumbup: is right fer sure! I just listened to this song about 25 minutes ago. Maynard does such a great job, I've never heard the original but damn, this version gives me the chills.

this also influenced me to put emotive on!


--------------------
I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo!

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
