Jeepers that's an awful song.
ReplyDeleteThe solo version of Tumbleweed is my favourite song on Storytone.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of any of the orchestral performances. I think a small ensemble might have been interesting (eg, just one violin, viola, cello, and bass) but the full orchestra makes the songs sound like they belong in a Disney movie.
BTW, did anyone else notice Nico Bolas lurking around behind Neil in some of the videos?

Sorry, that should be *Niko* Bolas.

I rest my case
ReplyDeleteTumbleweed, your inner spirit is a peace sign to me
Life is full of little tricks and we can always pick up sticks
And build again, that’s what we do
Harmony, the way we hold on when we tumble though the night
Life is full of strange delights, in the darkness we find lights
To make our way, back home again
Tumbleweed, I’m baring my soul to you
Tumbleweed, it’s all that I’ve got that’s true
Bite me now, with your confusion, your happiness and delight
It will only hurt a moment, then it’s gone and you can see
There’s nothing left, to leave a mark
Animal, care for your kind, in the way you always do
When the flower moon is shining, it’s eclipse and your lips smiling
Comfort me and I comfort you
Tumbleweed, your inner spirit is a peace sign to me
I think this is a beautiful song either version. I think people if they actually listen to the record will find it much better than they think. Each listen brings out more the litmus test
ReplyDeletefor a great record
i say stop making jokes about the record and start listening
Agree with Joseph
ReplyDeleteSome of these folks are inexplicably bitter and cynical
It's a lovely song on a wonderful record
Why come here to bash?

ReplyDeleteHas anybody noticed the irony of Neil's new album Storytone came after him starting to date Daryl Hannah; and Jackson Browne's CD "I'm alive" writen about his breakup with Daryl Hannah, many years ago?
