Soaring Through the Clouds Together

Put itunes/winamp/etc on shuffle
20 (I did 21, sue me) first lines of songs compose a poem
the 21st (22nd) is the title of the poem.

You cannot quit me so quickly
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
She's so wonderful
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility
You're on your own my little nightmare, you cannot stay here
I'm stuck here in the middle of
Can't stop addicted to the shindig

O Green World.
The colors have built up in my mind.
Got woken in the night by a mystic golden light.
We might kiss
In the velvet darkness
Don't worry.
It's funny how your worst enemies always seem to
Là.

If you're alone and you need a friend
We skipped the light fandango.
What will you do when you get lonely?
I was born by the river in a little tent.
So lately, been wondering
Don't kid yourself
No one knows what it's like.

When did you obtain "Changes?" I don't remember you getting into any Ochs.

Well, if you ever have any desire for more Ochs, let me know, though of course "Changes" is his about his only love song of more than 170. Which album is it taken from, There and Now or Phil Ochs in Concert?

Others include "Song of My Returning," though that's only mildly so

"The Best Of Broadside 1962-1988 [5/5]"

You know better than to trust my mp3 tags :p

Actually, that is correct. I forgot about that whole compilation deal, or that "Changes" was considered a part of his Broadside collection, anyway, considering it was on a regular studio release as well (you probably don't understand what that means - http://www.broadsidemagazine.com has their whole backfile from the 60's posted in .pdfs if you want some splendid reading material). That's got to be pretty crappy recording quality, though, because Broadside did their recordings inside their office. The one from "Phil Ochs in Concert," or, hell, any of the six versions of it I have, would be better. Well, probably not the "There and Now" or WBAI recording, but the other four would work better.

I'm kind of rambling now.
