HURRAY!

A Safe and Happy Journey, Genie. And sing to those people on the plane!

Hey, this means that our wishes are now your command. (big smile)

So, we wish for another Bruce Murdoch CD to be with us all, As Soon As Possible.

I like your Genie idea, Ron. We can put in loads of wishes for him, whilst he's travelling.

Someone go get Azizi, I bet she's can think of a few. :0)

Does anyone else get this sensation, when Bruce sings this bit, in 'Daly's Song'? ......

You get these wonderful images first...

"Feel her walking so quietly beside the bay
Watch her dancing in the water and the ocean spray
Wild horses can't jump higher
Than angels with out shoes
My soul is on fire
And there's comets passing through

I'm hot wired
Oh Baby hot wired

A million words that can't be said
Within these walls of rhyme
And a million lives that can't be led
Without these walls of time.........."


..and then, *then* you get Niagra Falls coming in, as Bruce tumbles out that Waterfall of Words, which go rushing down, with speed and depth, until they hit the last word at the bottom...

Listen
          to
             me
                  when
                           I
                            tell
                                  ya
                                       that
                                             I'm
                                                 definitely
                                                                HOT WIRED




It's GREAT! :0)

Here is the 'official' version from the website, but, as you'll see, some of the words differ. I've quoted the ones Bruce sings on the actual CD, which I have to say, I prefer.


"Daly's Song" by Bruce Murdoch

"I see a vision so lovely standing by the sea
I heart her heart beat fast but it could be me
The sunset does inspire
I have to tell you true
I think my soul's on fire
I don't know what to do
I'm hot wired

Feel her walking so quietly beside the bay
Watch her dancing in the water and the ocean spray
Wild horses can't jump higher
Than angels with no shoes
The wind sings like a choir
With comets passing through
I'm hot wired

BREAK

A million words that can't be said
Within these halls of rhyme
Countless lives that can't be led
Without these walls of time
(Listen to me when I tell you that I'm definitely)
Hotwired

The morning sun rises softly behind the hill
Speaks like a voice I can't forget and never will
The evening stars retire
The sky becomes bright blue
Accept this song entire
Because I wrote it just for you
I'm hot wired"
