Barbra Joan Streisand

Barbra Streisand

Where do you fit in my imaginary history? Were your enemies once mine? Did we meet one morning while traveling? What was our altitude?

A Taste of Honey

Martin Denny

Reconciliation is too much work. Coordinate. You don't need the girl. Don't tell me I'm wrong.

Country Sunshine

Various Artists

The night is not only deviance and grift. It can revive. We are cultivated in sunlight and I protest.

Ray Price

New York Philharmonic

You are conspicuous. I prefer caution to bravery, and stillness to shock, but I am here. Is this so horrible? Let's not fight. Let's sing for assembly and radiance. Let's try a new medication.

I Got A Name

Jim Croce

With crates full of booze and sky at hand, we cry, "Rise! Rise and be fixed! Rise and be torn to pieces!" We forget, and we rise, one by one, and we're rent every time.

Greatest Hits

Bob Dylan

Refused and adrift: we choose companionship over character. The damaged mark the lonely and it's all right. It's nothing you did.

Dear Heart

Jack Jones

Babes breathing with care at the gate, hands pressed to the window, watching the free jets taxi.
