Song of the day- Hazy Shade of Winter
So I may have forgotten a deep passion I had for today's artist and song till Susanna Hoffs appeared onstage at the Aimee Mann Christmas show, which was pretty much the greatest thing ever. Suddenly memories came flooding back to my first cassette tape I overplayed dancing ecstatically in my room. And sometimes in the hazy shade of winter (or 60 degree rain weather if your California) you need to dance around. So I leave you this retro gem for the week as I do some out of town gallivanting, then it's holiday hard core till Dec 25. Look out and get those cow bells and big hair out, today's song is for you.
p.s. also, this is a Simon and Garfunkel song?! thanks blog research and also how did I miss this with my dad's garfunkel education?..thoughts for another time
Time, time, time
See what's become of me...
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Hear the Salvation Army Band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Hang onto your hopes my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with their scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
