Kate Bush "The man with a child in his eyes."
I read somewhere that the song is about reincarnation and re-meeting an old friend from a post life.

You know that feeling you get when certain songs play. Songs like Wichita Lineman, White Bird, Nights in White Satin, etc.
There’s another one that’s about the Mason Dixon line of all things. It ‘gets’ me every time.

What songs ‘Get’ you every time?
The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon The Tragically Hip - Wheat Kings The Tragically Hip - 38 years old Yup, I'm a hip fan. Just finished the 4 part series of the bands beginnings to the final concert before the death of the lead singer Gord Downie from brain cancer. They are a rock band but also put out some of the most beautiful songs with meaning. No band has ever cought the hearts and imagination of Canadians more the the Hip and their charismatic poet singer. As we say " in GORD we trust " ... RIP |
re: Goodbye, Francoise, my trusted wife Adieu, Francoise, it’s hard to die Those lyrics are from the original translation by Rod McKuen in 1963, of Jacques Brel’s "Le Moribond" (1961). Terry Jacks Turned changed those lyrics and made this beautiful song into mediocre bubble gum rubbish. I like version done by the Kingston Trio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLfRtK0oxYE More about this tune: http://tbquirk.com/?p=570 I also like McKuen’s "Love’s Been Good to Me", written for and sung by Sinatra in his "A Man Alone" album, along with other McKuen songs and verses.
