The Devil Went Down to Georgia
This is a BIG TIME classic! It may be country, but it surely rocks! Here's Charlie Daniels Band...
Silent Lucidity
This offering is from the great Seattle band Queens Ryche, from their 1990 album Empire. The song is about, oh, a lot of things, but for sure fits the paranormal billing. Here's the lyrics, then the video...
Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A door way that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face the fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
(chorus) I - Will be watching over you
I - am gunna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
[spoken during solo]
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream Control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream Control, dream control)
(Help Me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
come tumbling down,
and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're free from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...
(chorus) I - will be watching over you
I - am gunna help to see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...
Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
spinning in your head

So here it is, another chance

Love is Blindness
This is from the hugely successful Irish band, U2. It is from their multi-platinum award winning album Achtung Baby. The song is the mournful dirge-like song Love is Blindness. Kinda ghostly...
Love is Blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness
In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love, blindness
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money, honey...
Blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love, blindness
Love is Blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness
In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love, blindness
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money, honey...
Blindness
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love, blindness
Fade Into You
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
(chorus) Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A strangers light comes on slowly
A strangers heart without a home
You put your hand into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew
She said, she said & Eleanor Rigby
Ok, look at the black and white cover for Revolver, it could be paranormal! John is sporting the same eyes as a grey alien... oh John... George has the 'alienesque' eye thing too, and Paul looks kind elvin minus pointy ears. And Ringo is, well, just Ringo, however.
My apologies on the video for Eleanor Rigby, I will add a new one to the bottom of the post that actually has all the vocal tracks.
She said, she said Eleanor Rigby
She said "I know what it's like to be dead Ah, look at all the lonely people(2x)
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I'd never been born Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding
I said "Who put all those things in your hair has been. Lives in a dream
Things that make me feel mad Waits at the window, wearing a face
And you're making me feel like I've never been born" that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
She said "You don't understand what I've said"
I said "No, no, no you're wrong. (chorus) All the lonely people
When I was a boy everything was right Where do they all come from?
Everything was right" All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave Father McKenzie writing the words
Cos you're making me feel like I've never been born" of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
She said "You don't understand what I've said" Look at him working, darning
I said "No, no, no you're wrong his socks in the night
When I was a boy everything was right when there's nobody there
Everything was right" What does he care?
I said "Even though you know what you know (Chorus)
I know that I'm ready to leave Ah, look at all the lonely people(2x)
Cos you're making me feel like I've never been born"
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
She said "I know what it's like to be dead and was buried along with her name
I know what it is to be sad Nobody came
I know what it's like to be dead..." Father McKenzie wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from
the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah look at all
the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all
the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
Waiting for a girl like you & Girl on the moon
Foreigner is one of the greatest bands of the '80's. The Song 'Waiting for a girl like you' is a timeless classic. It may not be directly paranormal in content, but as for sound, it has a hypnotic instrumental part that just lulls and mesmerizes! Lead singer Lou Gramm said that when they recorded this song, there was an amazingly drop dead gorgeous lady who entered the studio and it was as if he were singing this song to her. After the recording session, no one else that was there even saw the gorgeous woman... Lou and the band consider it a muse of spirit helping the recording of this track along! You be the judge!
Waiting for a girl like you appeared on the Foreigner 4 album along with another 'Paranormal Tune', Girl on the moon. My take on it, whether correct or not, is that either the author of the song is having a lucid dream, an O.B.E. (Out of Body Experience), or is in a transcendental state. Any way ya look at it, Girl on the moon is an equally catchy and accessible tune with some truly paranormal potential going on!
Waiting for a girl like you Girl on the moon
So long I've been looking to hard It's night again
I've been waiting too long Time for my mind to go wandering
Sometimes I don't know Off on a journey
what I will find through space and time
I only know it's a matter of time In search of a place
When you love someone (2x) I can never find
So I close my eyes
It feels so right and look inside.
So warm and true I can't forget
I need to know if you feel it too the night that I saw her,
we never met
Maybe I'm wrong She felt so close to me
Won't you tell me if as I reached for her hand
I'm coming on to strong she drifted away with the
This heart of mine desert sand
has been hurt before It was her, she was gone
This time I want to be sure
I wish she'd come back tonight
(chorus) I've been waiting Like a star shining bright
for a girl like you to But I know where she's from
come into my life (chorus) She's like a girl on the moon
I've been waiting A girl on the moon
for a girl like you She's like a girl on the moon
who'll love and will survive A girl on the moon
I've been waiting
for someone new Yes it's night once again
to make me feel alive and that same old feeling
Yea waiting is setting in
for a girl like you it all seems so familiar
to come into my life but I hope this time
the girl on the moon will
You're so good soon be mine
when we make love
it's understood All mine... tonight
It's more than a touch Am I asking too much?
or a word we say Should I leave my dream
only in dreams can it be this way untouched?
When you love some one Should I even know
Yea, really love someone where she's from?
Well I know it's right My girl on the moon
from the moment I wake up She's my girl on the moon
till deep in the night Girl on the moon
There's no place on earth My girl on the moon
I'd rather be (Girl on the moon) (repeat 9x)
than holding you tenderly
(chorus)
I've been waiting,
waiting for you
(I've been waiting for a girl like you,
I've been waiting)
Won't you come into my life
Yea!

Building a Mystery
This entry is from Sarah McLachlan, who we'll be revisiting down the road for sure. This song is a virtual 'buffet' of paranormal offerings. From Vampyrs to ghosts and voodoo dolls, this song covers quite a bit with a haunting style.
You come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light and the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
a suicide poem and a cross
from a faith that died before
Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
with a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful with an edge and charm
But so careful when I'm in your arms
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
Holding on, holding in
now you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
and hold back your tears (oh)
and give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
Just when we need one
when the evening's thin
Oh you're beautiful,
a beautiful f***ed up man
You're setting up your razor wire shrine
Because you're working
building a mystery
Holding on, holding in
Yea, you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Oh you're working
building a mystery
Holding on. holding in
Yea you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Yea you're working
building a mystery
Holding on, holding in
Yea you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
Building a mystery
You come out at night
