Out of Time

Things have been pretty busy lately.  I have some ideas floating around in my head, but am having trouble finding the time and energy to get them on here.  So in the meantime, here are a few songs that have also been floating around in my head...  Most of them are very "of the moment;" they capture a sense of the time when they were made.

So, this one came up today, in a great Facebook comment.
Moon Unit Zappa- Valley Girl


This one, I don't know why I was thinking about it.
The Moody Blues- Legend of a Mind (Timothy Leary's Dead)


Very of its moment, but has some lines that resonate today-
Buffalo Springfield- For What It's Worth (Stop, Children, What's That Sound)

there's battle lines being drawn
nobody's right if everybody's wrong

singin' songs and carryin' signs
mostly say hurray for our side

paranoia strikes deep
into your life it will creep
it starts when you're always afraid




And one still of its time, but with a lot to say today.  It was originally about a relationship, I guess, but the lines that stick with me apply more to today's political climate.  Or maybe I just keep running into people who don't get the title...

Beatles- Think For Yourself 

Although your mind's opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
