Topic: Alzheimers - Twist on Mojo's lyrics - Creek Don't Run.....
First - Everybody should check out Joe's ( MOJO) song - recently posted and re- mastered - it is awesome !
After hearing it and reading the lyrics, I could not get that line out of my head!!
However as it ran around crazy in my brain all morning, suddenly - - an epiphany - a new meaning popped in my head.
I got the metaphoric message that had been bothering me. I wrote some stuff down and it started making sense to me.
HOWEVER, I must point out that within Joe's song there were a couple of terrific lines that I needed to borrow because not only did they fit, they were awesome thoughts from my perspective.
Not wanting to be a (lyric) pirate ( which ironically what his song was like ) I emailed Joe to explain my ideas and asked permission to use his words and adapt some of his thoughts to my theme. He granted me permission, which was ever so kind - Thanks again Joe !!
So anyway - i attempted to use some of Joe's ideas mixed with mine - to write about a terrible disease - Alzheimers !
I know that several Chordians have mentioned it in discussions. I tried to imagine being on the inside looking out. I tried to put a couple of metaphors in myself - but still - Joe's line is the King - to me it describes it perfectly - "The Creek don't run by my cabin no more !"
As you all know - I am not a singer, so it won't appear in audio unless someone else does it for me ( hint, hint )
So here it is - hope you like it - and again THANKS SO MUCH to MOJO for his inspiration and kindness to allow me to borrow his thoughts.
