Anyone who knows me well enough, knows that I truly believe I was born in the wrong decade and that I am a Hippie at heart. I wish, so much, that I was a "Child of the '60's" because everything from the era fascinates me. Woodstock is somewhat of an obsession of mine, and I would have LOVED to have been there to witness it all! I could go on and on about it all, but that is a new post in itself. So, instead I have chosen one of my favorite songs simply titled "Woodstock". It is about the most historic music festival of our time, to date. It is by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, off of their album 'Deja Vu'. I love the lyrics, the music and everything about how this song takes me there! It makes me feel like I am being transcended through time...a little dorky, maybe. But that's the truth! I love this song! Take a listen. You may just enjoy it as much as I do! P.S. - this video is from the movie 'Woodstock' - check out the real footage! LOVE IT!
"Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, Tell me, where are you going?
This he told me
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Well, then can I roam beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning.
And maybe it's the time of year,
Yes and maybe it's the time of man.
And I don't know who I am,
But life is for learning.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are caught in the devils bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden"
