Sure did and still do. I remember before my intake hearing on the radio the song "Salisbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel. I thought that those lyrics spoke to me (a precursor or premonition) of what I was supposed to learn or experience during this period, particularly relating to the development of my spirituality.
As a matter of fact one of my first post here on this site was the lyrics to a Dave Mathews song ?Proudest Monkey? as it related to me I thought it expressed very well my emotions as to the time and what I was feeling when I left the Seed.

"Why Go"
she scratches a letter
into a wall made of stone
maybe someday
another child
won't feel as alone as she does
it's been two years
and counting
since they put her in this place
she's been diagnosed
by some stupid fuck
and mommy agrees
why go home?
why go home?
why go home...
she seems to be stronger
but what they want her to be is weak
she could just pretend
she could join the game
she could be another clone
why go home?
what you taught me
put me here
don't come visit
mommy dear

Landy, do you know of John Gorka? He writes fantastic lyrics...my wife and I saw him at a folk festival in Hocking Hills, OH - just him and a guitar, in an old log cabin with about 20 people. One of the best music experiences of my life.

Love John Gorka he is definitely on my list too. Used to listen to Rundgren alot as well. I was always impressed that I heard he had done everything himself on the"Something/Anything" albums and then mixed it. Pretty talented.

Here Here! This one still makes me cry. Whenever I was in a funk, forgot how to smile or what love and light felt like, my best friend in the whole world would blas this and smile with a twinkle in his chocolate brown eyes and invite me to "slide into his room" and remember what fun is. And so I did, some decades ago. I'll let you know how that turns out. :wink:

Song: Slide Lyrics
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
To feel it comin'
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults
Chorus:
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah we're gonna let it, slide
Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can't change
I'll live around it
Chorus
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away
And I'll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away
Chorus

That song from the Goo Goo dolls was great. I saw once on some VH-1 special the lead singer explaining that song was written about some distant memory of a high school girl friend who (if I recall correctly) fell pregant and they had to deal with the issue of having an abortion. (just some mindless trivia)
Funny- this would have been considered a taboo discussion (old ties) at the Seed. [ This Message was edited by: jgar on 2005-12-09 14:00 ]
