i'm so lonesome i could cry ... hank williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill

He sounds too blue to fly

The midnight train is whining low

I’m so lonesome I could cry

I’ve never seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by

The moon just went behind a cloud

To hide it’s face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves begin to die

That means he’s lost the will to live

I’m so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star

Lights up a purple sky

And as I wonder where you are

I’m so lonesome I could cry

dokken..."too high to fly " from 2000 live album " live from the sun " with reb beach on lead guitar.....mindblowing lead solo......

" Reb Beach is all over this thing shredding away like the coming of the apocalypse. His leads are nothing short of memorable. But it's his solo during "Too High To Fly" that just plainly takes your head off. "

Dokken Too High To Fly lyrics

(Dokken, Lynch)

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters

Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers

We took the gold, but the gold was water

I tried to save the world, but I failed her

She cries the tears that I never left her

I left them all behind

You were sitting in your darkest hour

Summer's gone

We tried to make the world so much better

We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter

You sit alone in your ivory towers

I'm just one person, I don't matter

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven

You left it all behind

Now you're feeling oh so better

Chorus

Too high to fly

You should've seen me there (Yeah)

Too high to fly, my baby

But you were almost there

The sun shines down on my face

But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)

The lines on the street, and the some rises

You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby

Another morning sun

Another day gone by

The storm's coming

With the pouring rain

Chorus 2

The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)

The lines in the street, and the smoke rises

Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it

__________________________________________________

Charlie Sexton's precocious career began at four when he learned to play the guitar. By 11, he was jamming with the Vaughn brothers. At 13, when he still billed himself as Little Charlie, he became Joe Ely's lead guitarist. Two years later, he toured with the Clash and signed a solo recording contract with MCA Records. At 17, Sexton's

self-titled debut LP hit the Top 20 and his song "Beat's So Lonely" did respectably on the singles chart.

But with MCA placing as much emphasis on his finely chiseled face as his music, Sexton ended up a pinup in teen magazines. He also received flak from blues purists, who claimed he sold his roots for pop stardom. By the time the teenager released his followup album, "Pictures for Pleasure," he was dismissed as a has-been.

Despite this, Sexton said he got what he wanted out of his MCA albums.

"The albums helped me break out of the pigeonhole that I was a blues guy or into rockabilly," he said. "I wanted to expand on the music that I made growing up, and I think I did that."

Some critics said Sexton's pop efforts ripped off David Bowie's deep vocal style. But Bowie, who hired Sexton as his guitarist on a previous tour, is one of his strongest supporters.

"I wave a banner for Charlie," Bowie said, calling from Liverpool, England. "I like him a lot. He's a good kid and very talented. Yes, he's very pretty, but he didn't need to be oversold. (MCA) saw him as a one-man Duran Duran, which was a big mistake. Charlie's a blues boy and that's where he really shines. Arc Angels probably is the best thing for him at this point in his career."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
