enjoy the maya in life

when i write it ends up depressing even when it drives it out of my head and i end up smiling. hmm. so today when i'm happy i won't let it confuse. i recently wrote out all 10 songs of led zeppelin 3 coz the cd i bought didn't have lyrics. and i wrote them so small they fit on a folded bit of paper which i can slip into the cd cover. yes! i'm so unemployed. and im surprised iv started liking rock now.

"Friends"

Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.

Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.

So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

mmm i remember putting off someone in the very first 'date' (was it a date now?) because i muttered somethings drunk like theres noone for anyone in this world. and we are all alone and by ourselves, and generally something totally in contradiction with these lyrics... (there that gets depressing again!!! happy bit: we are still together. grin.)

update: the other party says that wasn't a 'date'. he just wanted a 'cute' girl to drink with. we didn't drink much though, did we 'other party'?

friends is a rare song...and its not very rock

its in keeping with zep's fascination with indian music.

@k - really? but i didn't mean just friends. i meant rhcp n howl n bruce dickinson n the rest of this album also. though theres something about the softness in the guitar in friends. and i love the feel of the lyrics as if they are just supporting the music from behind the curtains unlike most other songs where the screaming monopolises ;). actually that feeling is there is this entire album and i love it for that.
