That Girl Could Sing - Jackson Browne

WRITTEN ABOUT " LAURA NERO:"J.B."S GIRLFRIEND ONCE UPON A TIME; EVERYONE SING ALONG......

She was a friend to me when I needed one
Wasn't for her I don't know what I'd done
She gave me back something that was missing in me
She could of turned out to be almost anyone
Almost anyone--
With the possible exception
Of who I wanted her to be

Running into the midnight
With her clothes whipping in the wind
Reaching into the heart of the darkness
For the tenderness within
Stumblin' into the lights of the city
And then back in the shadows again
Hanging onto the laughter
That each of us hid our unhappiness in

Talk about celestial bodies
And your angels on the wing
She wasn't much good at stickin' around--but
That girl could sing
She could sing...

In the dead of night
She could shine a light
On some places that you've never been
In that kind of light
You could lose your sight
And believe there was something to win
You could hold her tight
With all your might
But she'd slip through your arms like the wind
And be back in flight
Back into the night
Where you might never see her again

The longer I thought I might find her
The shorter my vision became
Running in circles behind her
And thinking in terms of the blame
But she couldn't have been any kinder
If she'd come back and tried to explain
She wasn't much good a saying goodbye--but
That girl could sing

More than a feeling ( extended version ) - Boston 1976

"Seems the music listening audience has "no interest" in my attempt at " musical poetic liberty". Putting it out there "again" just because: QUOTE FROM STEVE ECKSTEIN: POSTED ON Y/TUBE 3 MOTHS AGO:"NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED TO RUN, TO HIDE, " SHE" STOOD BY MY SIDE, GAVE ME BACK MY PRIDE, OPENED MY EYES WIDE, TILL THE DAY I DIE, I'LL ALWAYS ASK WHY. SO MUCH MORE THAN A FEELING, HER KISS SENT ME REELING. THESE DAYS FIND ME KNEELING, SO MUCH MORE THAT I'M DEALING WITH , THESE BURIED FEELINGS, THAT'S WHY I'M DREAMIN', WHY DID I DRIVE HER AWAY, WHAT DID IT TAKE TO MAKE HER STAY"(MY WORDS").

Laura Nyro " Interview " (1989)

So sweet, so rare, so overwhelming vocally.It appears "the lot in life of "the purest,most endearing & talented artists thru modern history suffer a tragic, shortened life,leaving only there acclaimed,sometimes under appreciated works as their "footprints" thru this life.The most wicked, crooked evil ones seem to keep on ticking like the old "TIMEX WATCH" commercial. No one, nowhere, has found an answer.So, " QUE SERA, SERA"(WHAT WILL BE WILL BE"(DORIS DAY)
