They Call The Wind Mariah
Recorded by Jim Ed Brown
written by Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe

C                 Am              C                 Am
Way out west they have a name for rain and wind and fire
    C                Am                  F        G7   C
The rain is Tess the fire's Joe and they call the wind Mariah
                 Am               C                 Am
Mariah blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flying
  C                 Am                F     G7            C
Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks up there were dying

Am      Em
Mariah  Mariah
     F        G7     C
They call the wind Mariah

              Am               C                  Am
Before I knew Mariah's name or heard her wail and whining
  C                 Am             F       G7     C
I had a gal and she had me and the sun was always shining
             Am                  C                     Am
And then one day I left that gal I left her far behind me
    C                   Am            F    G7      C
And now I'm lost I'm so darn lost not even God can find me

Am       Em
Mariah  Mariah
     F        G7     C
They call the wind Mariah

                 Am             C             Am
Out here they’ve got a name for rain wind and fire only
    C                Am                  F        G7       C
And when you're lost and all alone there ain't no word for lonely
                Am             C                 Am
Well I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me
  C            Am           F    G7         C
Mariah blow my love to me I need her here beside me

Am      Em
Mariah  Mariah
     F        G7     C
They call the wind Mariah

In Memory of an LA Artist — “A Vertical Band of Color”

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 11:54 pm

From an LA Times obituary for an artist
who reportedly died on July 30 —

"In his abstract paintings, he often returned to
the image of the atomic bomb, through
a recurring motif of an orb hovering
in a vertical band of color."

Jena Malone’s Really Nice Dance

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 1:44 am

Some lines from "Psychedelic Love," a song in
the album "New Truth" (2020), by Jenny O.

I went and saw my sister friend
Told her I been compromising
And I would like a psychedelic love
I will give all day long

She says, "Here's a piece of paper
      and a really nice pen
Write it down, read it out, tell me
      what it says, baby."

These lyrics, and the accompanying music, were presented
not in writing, but in dance, by Jena Malone in her Instagram
highlight "Dance revolt."
