ATF: Coming About

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Turn, Turn, Turn
The Byrds
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

A time to be born
A time to die
A time to plant
A time to reap
A time to kill
A time to heal
A time to laugh
A time to weep

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

A time to build up
A time to break down
A time to dance
A time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

A time of love
A time of hate
A time of war
A time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose
Under Heaven

A time to gain
A time to lose
A time to rend
A time to sew
A time for love
A time for hate
A time for peace
I swear it's not too late



Come Again
Damn Yankees
I was a loner
Cruisin' with the wind
I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
I had to leave you
Like I always did
You knew damn well
I'd come again

Now I'm falling
Where I've never been
My resistance
Is wearing thin
Somewhere in the distance
Like a long lost friend
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again

Yeah yeah

It's been so long since I've seen you girl
Swear I've been around the world
Every room is an empty space
In the darkness I see your face
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa

When I finally get my hands on you
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Lay you down
Strip you bare
Make love to you 'til the morning comes around

I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again

Come again
Come again
I say Lord

I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whao

I wasn't looking
When you pulled me in
Whoa whoa whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Lord
Here I come again

ATF: Ups and Downs

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



High Enough
Damn Yankees
I don't wanna hear about it
Anymore
It's a shame I've got to live without you
Anymore
There's a fire in my heart
A poundin’ in my brain
It's drivin’ me crazy
We don't need to talk about it
Anymore
Yesterday's just a memory
Can we close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say
When you called me baby

Don't say goodnight
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way

Can you take me high enough
To fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday’s just a memory
Yesterday’s just a memory

I don’t wanna live without you
Anymore
Can’t you see I’m in misery
And you know for sure
I would love and die for you
And I’d know just what to do
When you call me baby

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday’s just a memory away

I was runnin’ for the door
The next thing I remember
I was runnin’ back for more
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way
All the way
All the way
Yeah
Yeah

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Can you take me high enough
Won’t you fly me over
Won’t you fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa



Free Fallin’
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
She's a good girl
Loves her mama
Loves Jesus
And America too
She's a good girl
Is crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses
And her boyfriend too

It's a long day
Livin’ in Reseda
There's a freeway
Runnin’ through the yard
Now I'm a bad boy
‘Cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy
For breakin’ her heart

Now I'm free
Free fallin’
Yeah I'm free
Free fallin’

All the vampires
Walkin’ through the valley
Move west down
Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys
Are standin’ in the shadows
And the good girls
Are home with broken hearts

Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Yeah I'm free
Free fallin’

Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free Fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m

I wanna glide down
Over Mulholland
I wanna write her
Name in the sky
Gonna free fall
Out into nothin’
Gonna leave this
World for a while

Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free Fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Yeah I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m

Free Fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Oh
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin
Oh
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
