Evening Blue by Traffic
A while back, a friend recommended this song to me. “Just sit and listen and draw what you feel and hear.” This was what came out.
It's a beautiful and melancholy song. I think that it means different things to different people. But with one set of circumstances, I absolutely get it. The longing for something that cannot be. Acceptance of circumstance is the secret to happiness, but it doesn't mean we never look back and think about the things that may have been. In fact, that is perfectly fine to recall the good and the good people whom we have loved and lost.
Evening Blue – Traffic 1973 – Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory
Sitting all alone by the fireside
Listen to the wind in the chimney top
Haven't slept for days, and I'm still wide eyed
Try not to think, but my mind won't stop
Evening shadows making my heart sing out
With the setting sun, turning leaves to brown
If I had a lover, who's heart was true
I wouldn't be alone in this evening blue
Everybody's looking for something in life
Not everyone's finds what they're looking for
Everybody wants a little happiness in life
But everyone can open the door
Morning wakens, making my heart sing out
Now that summer's here, changing fears and doubts
I miss my old friend who recommended it. I hope they're out there this evening relaxing and listening to this track too.
