Other places will eulogize him far better than I could here. I’ll just note that it is a certainty that, had there been no Pete Seeger, there would be no Digital Cuttlefish.
The Digital Cuttlefish
Since the music plays so briefly... Can you blame me if I dance?
So I guess that’s another thing you can blame him for…
I was always worried by “A time to gather stones together”
I ask you WHY???!?
Clearly, rock collecting.
I mean, what else could it possibly…. oh.
A friend on Facebook mentioned this. My response was: to every thing there is a season. I wonder why we both went there.
Stones can be gathered for building as well as throwing.
Nate
And of course stones can be gathered for throwing as well as building. So your point is???
I’m saying that the intent of that line in the song is not necessarily ominous…
My Rainbow Race, Pete Seeger
Chorus:
One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more
And because I love you
I’ll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It’s too soon to die.
1.
Some folks want to be like an ostrich,
Bury their heads in the sand.
Some hope that plastic dreams
Can unclench all those greedy hands.
Some hope to take the easy way:
Poisons, bombs. They think we need ’em.
Don’t you know you can’t kill all the unbelievers?
There’s no shortcut to freedom.
(Repeat chorus)
Go tell, go tell all the little children.
Tell all the mothers and fathers too.
Now’s our last chance to learn to share
What’s been given to me and you.
(Repeat chorus one and a half times)
i just found about him and already i feel like crying.
