to my boyfriend
Love Is Only A Feeling

by DARKNESS (Permission To Land)

The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand

'Cos you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be all and end all

Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
When I'm in your arms I start believing
(It's here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway

The state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved
I had seen, I had touched, I had tasted and I truly believed

That the light of my life
Would tear a hole right through each cloud that scudded by
Just to beam on you and I

Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
When I'm in your arms I start believing
(It's here to stay)
But love is only a feeling
Anyway, anyway

Love is only a feeling
(Drifting away)
And we've got to stop ourselves believing
(It's here to stay)
'Cos love is only a feeling
Anyway

I am going to Glenn Hughes concert tonight ... so here is, just a little reminder, one of my GH favourite songs!
Looovely!

Holy Man
(Coverdale/Hughes/Lord)

Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand

Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand

Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enought sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?

[WILLOW]

AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!
No....I'm not jealous....*pout*
I am teasing, Dagmar. Have a GREAT time!

[DagmarS]

This song is dedicated to Willow. It is one of many Glenn played last night. And was brilliant!!!


BLACK SABBATH(Glenn Hughes)

Seventh Star

There's a vision in the sands
Rising from the ancient past
Crying let my spirit go
Lead my burning soul to rest

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star

There's no shelter from the heat
There's no mercy from this land
Hear a thousand chanting souls
Waiting judgement from God's hand

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh star

The pyramids will fall
Turn to dust before the sun
And the star will rise again
Until destiny is done

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh star
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh star


Glenn Hughes's gig yesterday was better than I could ever imagine. I am not familiar with all his songs. To tell the truth, I went there just out of curiousity, because I LOVEd him in Deep Purple and wanted to see him because of that. I have only one of his albums, but to be honest I've become Glenn Hughes nut after last night gig and will be buying more of his CDs in the near future!

He sounds FANTASTIC!!! The Highs and Lows, the power and the full body of his voice (it is still ringing in my ears), he is sooo full of energy - he was the man of the stage! ... well last but not least - HE IS IN A GREAT SHAPE - looks great and you would hardly tell that he is fiftysomething. Just like David Coverdale - they are both sooo fit ... OOO-ER.

Like I said, I am not very familiar with all his songs, so I can't give you the set list here. Just few that I recognised - Seventh Star (from his Black Sabbath years - perfect), killer version of Mistreated (oooh, I will never forget that song hughesLIVE...), one of my all time purrrple favourites You Keep On Moving (again, superb version) and ... how could he miss out Burn!!! BRILLIANT!!! He also played a tribute song to Tommy Bolin - (another purple one) Getting Tighter ;D. He has a new CD out and played few tracks of that album as well, and believe me, they sounded pretty good too.

Well, I am amazed, because I wasn't expecting the gig to be that good. And with my purple songs dreams coming true, it was an unforgettable night. If you get a chance and he is playing near you, GO AND SEE HIM!!! He is just sooo worth it!

:-*D

P.S.:Willow, I am not rubbing your nose in it. I am just trying to draw a true picture of Glenn Hughes genius. But like I said on BBS, nothing I say will/can do him any justice. I hope you get to see him LIVE soon as well. He is going on the WORLD tour next year (i think that it will be with Joe Lynn Turner ... mabye we could talk DC into teaming up with them at some point in their tour).

Dagmar, you lucky creature! Glenn Hughes is one of my all-time favorite singers, and i have been so deprived of his live appearances in the States that it's downbright depressing. He also did some songs in Gary Moore back in '85-'86 that I adore....and they are still classics (though much less known). Get the Gary Moore CD "Run For Cover" and you'll see what I mean. Great stuff. Ciao.
