Release in 1970
and I actually got the original LP from then.

I took myself a blue canoe
 And I floated like a leaf
 Dazzling, dancing half enchanted
 In my Merlin sleep


Crazy was the feeling
 Restless were my eyes
 Insane they took the paddles
 My arms they paralysed


chorus:

So where to now St. Peter
 If it's true I'm in your hands
 I may not be a Christian
 But I've done all one man can
 I understand I'm on the road
 Where all that was is gone
 So where to now St. Peter
 Show me which road I'm on
 Which road I'm on


It took a sweet young foreign gun
 This lazy life is short
 Something for nothing always ending
 With a bad report


Dirty was the daybreak
 Sudden was the change
 In such a silent place as this
 Beyond the rifle range


(repeat chorus)

I took myself a blue canoe

This is a re-make of The Candle in the Wind referring to Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe on the Yellow Brick album) to suit Lady Diana at her funeral ceremony.

The Swedish Music mystery continous.
Here a release from June 10th, some few days ago. I just heard the track on the car radio and I knew they had a hit and a release going on but haven't heard it.
The Video adds here ... hmm ... the kids today like the retro of psychedelic images, this video would have been a blast in 1970.

Do like me, before looking at the video, just listen.

That was a good one Jahn. Swedish? with American voices?
But they had a great intent - I liked the braking crockery. Except they were too young to know what they were asking for - still I applaud their spirit.

Yes, they are Swedish and they are also also sisters. Their thing is much to sing in harmony.
This Sliver line track (each cloud has a silver line) hijacked me completely. It was like a beam of light into my heart - blowing away 30 years of dust from the road - and made me young (full of spirit) in an instant.

Wtf?

I need to watch this one several time...sometimes I get filled with so much sorrow, I feel like the room is too small, and I can't breathe. This song triggered that, often I will stand up or sit up more straight, maybe open a window...but I need to dive into it.

why sorrow with this song....

It is about the shortcoming of our lives - that we die - and some of us die to soon.
Both Marilyn and Lady Di was beautiful women that became icons while they lived, Elton captures all this.

Yes, one of the songs that can start a still cry, a single tear that dim our sight and makes us hear the distant call.

"I wont take the Easy road"

Yes, OMG - if I had to choose again - I had done that (taken the easy road  )
