Obscure lyric for the week of Apr.27/09


Good Monday morning music fans. What an incredible weekend I just had. my beloved and I spent the weekend visiting wineries in the Niagara region and stayed with some old friends at the bed and breakfast. We had a truly restful weekend and tried some lovely wines along the way. Here is a view from one of the wineries. this one is from Fielding which is situated on the "Beamsville Bench". The view is looking north over the bench and towards lake Ontario.

On to this weeks song. The song was released on a double album in 1973. In the list of Rolling Stones best 500 albums ever, it was ranked at number 91. This has been one of my favourite albums of all time and I have never owned a copy, either in vinyl or on cd. I might just download it from itunes one of these day, but you never know.

Here are a few lyrics. This is not a tough one, it should be easily identifiable to any of you from the 70's or even the younger crowd.

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song (and it's introduction):
The writer of the music (proper name):
The writer of the words:
The name of the album:
Who the song following this song was written about:

These should not be hard. All of you will have heard this song even in elevators. I have often thought that the intro would be a great piece for either Halloween or at my final goodbye (along with "The great gig in the sky" and "comfortably numb"). The previous sentence was a terrible attempt to give you some clues.

Have a great week. The big reveal will come out on Friday.
