About Listen to the music

Doobie Bros.

Dont you feel it growin, day by day
People gettin ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don't you ask me why

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
And if Im feelin good to you
And you're feelin good to me
There ain't nothin we can't do or say
Feelin good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listnin for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly

Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Onírica imagen de delicada composición!
Felicitaciones, esos premios ampliamente merecidos!!!


Shirley D. Cross   {K:135005} 12/18/2007
Twenty years ago?...still here in Salem...lol. I like all kinds of music, but I LOVE "White Room"...the lyrics are wonderful...'Silver horses run down moonbeams in her dark eyes', and 'yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes', and 'where the shadows run from themselves'! "I Feel Free" is good, too.:)))

Want to see the original that I worked over? Hope this doesn't spoil the magic, but here it is, just for you, Luis:

Many congrats for the two fine awards for this one Shirley!
It is very well done. As you already know, I am quite partial to the kind of dark atmosphere that you are using in the background. The effects work well. I like the way the joy on her face shows through an otherwise dark atmosphere.
Well done!
ps That song is etched in my memory too!
Andre
