Blind Man

As I couldn't seem to get the song Sameway out of my head the other day and seeing how the pipes kept banging last night, keeping me awake to give me this brilliant idea - I have decided to spend the next week or so blogging about nothing but the soundtrack of my life. This little adventure has no beginning, no end, no middle, no rhyme, and certainly no reason. As it is well put in Alice's world, "Oh, you can't help that . . .we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." What a great way to put it. For my first little post, oh and in my madness I might have forgotten to mention the rules, at least as they exist tonight, tomorrow, well it's my game and one rule is rules change. I figure I'll slowly make my way through my itunes list and songs that have special signifigance will get posted with or without a story. This first one is dedicated to my friend Searcy. This was a song we both listened to for a long time after some heartbreaks in high school. I recall driving around way too fast, listening to music way too loud, and just living life way too much. What great times, from the gunclick at the beginning to the classic Aerosmith fade out - nothing but pure adrenaline! Here's to old heartbreaks from high school, hope youre doing well and until this summer my friend, I'll be cranking this beat with the sunroof down in the city of blinding lights!

Blind Man by Aerosmith
I took a course in hallelujah
I went to night school for the blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya
but nothing seemed to light my fuse
but it's all in the past
like a check that's in the mail
she was a tall whiskey glass
I was an old hound dog that just loved to chase his tail
until I met a blind man
who taught me how to see
a blind man
who could change night into day
and if I can
I'm gonna make you come with me
because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the cloudsaway

I've had some lovers like a joy ride
some things are never what they seem
my heaven's turned into a landslide
I thank God I woke up from the dream
because here comes the sun and we'll be chasing all the clouds
the way bees chase honey
and drink all the flowers dry
we'll be saving us a little money
and if that don't do it, yeah, I know the reason why
don't make no sense lightin' candles
there's too much moonlight in our eyes
because here comes the sun
ain't no surprise
ain't no doubt about it
gonna open up your eyes
