Subject: eerie occurance From: GUEST,mkebenn@work Date: 21 Aug 02 - 01:44 PM Had a weird thing happen to me this morning. As is my habit, I play for about an hour while I have my coffee, and before preparing for work. Part of the time is spent making new arrangments for songs I haven't played in some time. This morning's subject was Hamilton Camp's "Pride of Man". Spent a few moments working on a chord intro with a walking bass line that I thought was kinda' cool, and then started the song. Now I should say here that about my only real talent is that I generally don't forget lyrics, ever. Music yes, words no. So I hadn't thought about the lyrics. Got thru the first two verses, not really hearing them, and perfecting the bass line. Then I got to the third verse and felt a chill go down my spine.
Turn around, go back down Well, I WAS listening to the next verse
Turn around, go back down

Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: michaelr Date: 21 Aug 02 - 07:43 PM mkebenn -- I know that song from the Quicksilver version only. Who is Hamilton Camp, and when did he write it? Also, could you please post the full text? Cheers, Michael |
Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: Glen Reid Date: 21 Aug 02 - 09:55 PM I could be wrong, but I think Gordon Lightfoot wrote and recorded that song mid sixties. However it does seem to apply to current events? |

Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: ddw Date: 21 Aug 02 - 10:52 PM Paul Geremia does a song that I find really strange. It's called Chickens Come Home to Roost, or something like that. About five or six verses chronical a pretty bad interpersonal situation and each ends with the lines

Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: GUEST,Terilu Date: 22 Aug 02 - 01:22 AM Oh people, look around you The signs are everywhere You've left it for somebody other than you To be the one to care You're lost inside your houses There's no time to find you now Your walls are burning and your towers are turning I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow The road is filled with homeless souls Every woman, child and man Who have no idea where they will go But they'll help you if they can Now everyone must have some thought That's going to pull them through somehow Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow Oh people, look among you It's there your hope must lie There's a sea bird above you Gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky We all must do the best we can And then hang on to that Gospel plow When my life is over, I'm going to stand before the Father But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water, maybe I'll remember Maybe I'll remember how Rock me on the water The wind is with me now So rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow ---Jackson Browne

Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: gwonya Date: 22 Aug 02 - 08:38 PM The expression 'see what you expect to see and expect what you invite' comes to mind with respect to your experience with that song on that morning. |
Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: Phil Cooper Date: 23 Aug 02 - 01:18 AM Hamilton Camp used to sing with Bob Gibson, doing several popular, influential albums with him. He was also an actor. He played the building janitor on the show He and She with Dick Benjamin and Paula Prentiss in the late '60's. And did other walk on roles (a rather funny scene in WKRP for example). I'm sure there's a lot more information out there about Mr. Camp. |
Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: Ebbie Date: 23 Aug 02 - 02:11 AM "Hamilton Camp is elusive. He has appeared and disappeared on the music scene for the last 38 years. Camp is a self-described unreconstructed folk artist, though the original songs on his new CD Mardi's Bard reflect his eclectic interests in a wide variety of styles. He continues to perform at music festivals and clubs internationally, appearing at the Napa Music Festival, California, Sept. '98. Hamilton currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and family. He has six children and nine grandchildren. " http://www.jacana.demon.co.uk/djc/djcrev09.htm |
Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: Jeremiah McCaw Date: 23 Aug 02 - 04:52 PM Definitely written by Camp, Glen. And definitely recorded by Lightfoot on his first album (also had Phil Ochs' "Changes" and Ewan McColl's "The First Time Ever"). Don't think Lightfoot's recorded any covers after that. |
Subject: RE: BS: eerie occurance From: robomatic Date: 23 Aug 02 - 05:26 PM Since this is a BS occurrence, I'm gonna steer it away from songs for a bit, as I was not impressed by this particular 'eerie occurence'. People have been singing of falling towers for a rather long time, as well as bridges, forests, and hopes. The reason is quite basic. Stuff falling down invites attention, "The bigger they are..." If you want weird, check out the first show (I'm not sure if it was a pilot or not) of the now defunct (and never to be repeated, I'm sure) Chris Carter show: "Lone Gunmen" which aired in late 2000 or early 2001. The plot involved an attempt on the part of some secret sub government entity, to create instability by flying a loaded passenger 747, under remote control, into one of the WTC towers. The special effects show a pilot's view into the windows at the last moment.
