What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GEORGE HARRISON "george harrison" vinyl, 1979.

his eighth studio album...
my first time listening to this album.
guest spots from Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton and of course Ringo Starr.
a bit of jazz, a bit of music hall and easy listening/soft rock.
album is filled with love songs, the dude seems content and rightfully so...
he got married not long befor he recorded it and became a father also...
a good solid breezy album
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite isnt a love song, well it is really, its a song about his love of F-1 motor racing and a tribute to F-1 friends Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda :





Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it, people became his friend

Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be a part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked 'til the pieces fit

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"

Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare

Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"

No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"

No one knows quite how he does it
But it's true, they say
"He's the master of going faster"
