What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GEORGE HARRISON "let it roll: songs of George Harrison" cd, 2009

a compilation compiled by widow Olivia.
nineteen tracks in total, just over half were singles, the rest selected favourites of hers.
I guess she's not a fan of "this song", "crackerbox palace", "teardrops" or "you" to name a few???
anyway.
a pleasant listen, its easy to forget how good an artist he was when always being in the shadows of John and Paul.
love the 'slide' and wah-wah' sounds he does with his instrument of choice.
great artist, great writer, great philanthropist and gentle soul.
selected track on this occasion is his final single, has a Travelling Wilbury's feel to it and as usual, meaningful lyrics.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM





But I've been traveling on a boat and a plane
In a car on a bike with a bus and a train
Traveling there, traveling here
Everywhere in every gear

But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there

And I've been traveling through the dirt and the grime
From the past to the future through the space and the time
Traveling deep beneath the waves
In watery grottoes and mountainous caves

But oh Lord we've got to fight
With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light
No use to stop and stare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there

You may not know where you came from
May not know who you are
May not have even wondered
How you got this far

I've been traveling on a wing and a prayer
By the skin of my teeth, by the breadth of a hair
Traveling where the four winds blow
With the sun on my face, in the ice and the snow

But oooeeee it's a game
Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're lame
Ah yeah it's somewhere
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there

But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there

I keep traveling around the bend
There was no beginning, there is no end
It wasn't born and never dies
There are no edges, there is no sides

Oh yeah you just don't win
It's so far out, the way out is in
Bow to God and call him Sir
But if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
If you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
