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

Flow

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 12:00 pm
 
From French cinema—

Duelle

"a 'non-existent myth' of a battle between
goddesses of the sun and the moon
for a mysterious blue diamond
that has the power to make
mortals immortal and vice versa"

"Moon River, wider than a mile…"

The most damaging and obstructive
cluster of ideas you face as a writer
are nearly all related to the idea of “flow.”

Like “genius.”

And “sincerity.”

And “inspiration.”

Distrust these words.

They stand for cherished myths,
but myths nonetheless.

— Verlyn Klinkenborg, 
"Several Short Sentences About Writing"       

"All she had to do was kick off and flow."

The Gameplayers of Zan

"I'se so silly to be flowing but I no canna stay."

Finnegans Wake
