From the Beach Boys to will. At least this song has shock value on its side: when even these surf-pop gents turn from the sea, there is likely good reason for it. And not just that Brian Wilson never actually learned to surf. And then it gets really bizarre when the pair harmonizes balefully about whales that have beached on the shore. Their voices crest prettily but overall, the song struggles to stay afloat in its own ponderousness.
A sullen ballad that lazily swipes at manifest destiny and Christian conversion, the last track on Hotel California saves it strongest vitriol for the suburban encroachment of the Wild West. Then there are still half of the seven-plus minutes left. American musician - performs on stage at Chicagofest, Chicago, Illinois, August 9, Her heart will go on, but her lungs are full of smog.
Jam-band kingpin Dave Matthews can write with surprising tenacity… but only when he wants to. Rippling strings, soprano sax, featherweight harmonies: James Taylor will see your mawkishness and raise it.

Swing in this tree Oh I am bounce around so well Branch to branch, limb to limb you see All in a day's dream I'm stuck Like the other monkeys here I am a humble monkey Sitting up in here again But then came the day I climbed out of these safe limbs Ventured away Walking tall, head high up and singing I went to the city Car horns, corners and the gritty Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Then comes the day Staring at myself I turn to question me I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen Monkey see, monkey do Monkey see, monkey do Edit Lyrics.

I love the last couple lines But on a simpler level it's about moving onto to new and different experiences, but still being able to stay yourself.
