DOUBLE DIPPIN’

Today, we’re going to review two Songs by two separate Groups that are truly worthy of the term: SuperGroup !
Both of these Bands began their assault on Rock Music in the late 1960s and, both, found their greatest successes in the late 60s thru the mid 70s.
And even though I’ve enjoyed every Song that they recorded during that time frame - my favorite Tunes that they, both, put on Wax were 1980s material.

First, let’s take a look / listen to a Live version of:

Southern Cross by: Crosby, Stills & Nash
written by Stephen Stills

Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands

Sailing a reach before a followin' sea

She was makin' for the trades on the outside

And the downhill run to Papeete Bay

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas

We got eighty feet of the waterline

Nicely making way

In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you

But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Think about how many times I have fallen

Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'

What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world

Lookin' for that woman, girl

Who knows love can endure

And you know it will (and you know it will)

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time

You understand now why you came this way

'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small

But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dyin'

And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain

I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin'

She is all that I have left and music is her name

Think about how many times I have fallen

Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'

What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world

Lookin' for that woman, girl

Who knows love can endure

And you know it will (and you know it will)

So we cheated and we lied and we tested,

And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do

You will survive being bested

But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you

At the Southern Cross

Now let’s enjoy a retro Video of:

Your Wildest Dreams by Moody Blues
written by Justin Hayward

Once upon a time

Once when you were mine

I remember skies

Reflected in your eyes

I wonder where you are

I wonder if you think about me

Once upon a time

In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new

Our bodies felt the morning dew

That greets the brand new day

We couldn't tear ourselves away

I wonder if you care

I wonder if you still remember

Once upon a time

In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays

And when the words are touched with sorrow

When the music plays

I hear the sound I had to follow

Once upon a time

Once beneath the stars

The universe was ours

Love was all we knew

And all I knew was you

I wonder if you know

I wonder if you think about it

Once upon a time

In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays

And when the words are touched with sorrow

When the music plays

And when the music plays

I hear the soundI had to follow

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

Once when you were mine

I remember skies

Mirrored in your eyes

I wonder where you are

I wonder if you think about me

Once upon a time

In your wildest dreams

In your wildest dreams

In your wildest dreams

Well, go on .. go on .. be off with you, my lads and ladies.
