    i decided to toke tonight, and upon giving "one from the vault" a closer listen, i discovered that crazy fingers is one of my favorite dead songs at the moment. it's amazing. it makes me feel warm. i had always skipped it when it came on because, for some reason, i didn't like the first like 5 seconds of it.

    it's amazing, what do you think?

    does anybody else have one from the vault?

    i think it is a most beautiful tune...robert hunter is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. he just has that gift to paint pictures with words:


    Your rain falls like crazy fingers
    Peals of fragile thunder keeping time

    Recall the days that still are to come
    Some sing blue

    Hang your heart on laughing willow
    Stray down to the water
    Deep Sea of Love

    Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
    Swift undertow

    Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know
    See how it feels in the end
    May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you
    Soft, strong, sweet and true

    Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow
    Tapping at the window touch your hair

    So swift and bright
    Strange figures of light
    Float in air

    Who can stop what must arrive now?
    Something new is waiting to be born

    Dark as the night
    You're still by my side
    Shining side

    Gone are the days we stopped to decide
    Where we should go
    We just ride

    Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
    Gone - both dream and lie

    Life may be sweeter for this I don't know
    Feels like it might be alright
    While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you
    Love still rings true

    Midnight on a carousel ride
    Reaching for the gold ring down inside

    Never could reach
    It just slips away but I try

    "paint pictures with words" How wonderful! :)

    "Blues For Allah" is my favourite album and I love this song very much!

    Two days ago I was making pizza for my friends and suddenly one ingredient had run out! It was very cold outside and I had 45 minutes to finish my coock. So I ran to the shop to buy missed ingredient and when I returnet I was very very annoyed. I turned my mp3 player and there was playing this song, "Crazy Fingers" :) Miracle! I became happy and pleasent, my mom was shocked she wandered what I was listening to :) hah
