long ride, that you are taking me on
a long strange ride
long ride, that you are taking me on
a long strange ride

keep sunrise, you can forget sunset
i want to see the sun in the middle of the sky
'cause the dawn and the dying light
have gathered too much meaning
and i want to feel numb

there must be something else
we haven't found on this long strange ride

long night and even longer day
i'm so sorry, i've been travelling blind
high time you rest your weary eyes
love, it's been a long strange ride

there must be something else
we haven't found on this long strange ride

Bumped fro 8 to 9.  Dang - this song just gets better with every listen. The vocals that intertwine and gather strength, each from the other, the comfortable groove they have, and the banjo and fiddle - so heartbreakingly beautiful. This might end up being a 10.  Love it. {#Meditate}{#Sunny}

Fred,
Your opinions count too.      Keep 'em coming.......please.
No affiiation to Nottingham, nor Fred, just appreciate diversity of opinion and dislike trolls.
ps: my $.10c don't feed 'em by giving them a target - there's enough idiots who will register under different aliases just to get you/anybody who opposes them out.
So, Fred. You now have to weigh the positives votes against the negatives.............should balance the scales somewhat?
 
Are the polls closed? If not, I vote for Fred.

That's 2 votes. Any more? PMs count too. It's no skin off my nose to quit commenting on here.

 

"stfu" is just plain rude.  Keep those comments coming.  We're all (mostly) adults here.  We can take it.

This is what Alison Kraus and Robert Plant should have sounded like.

For some reason that riff just puts an image into my head of driving through wooded country, in a car where the conversation came to a comfortable silence some time ago and everyone is just looking out the windows.
