If you weren't real I would make you up
Now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.
Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet
In love's game
You would call; I'd call you back
And then I'd leave
A message
On your answering
Machine
But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives
Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom, freedom
Run away
Run away tonight
We're made out of blood and rust
Looking for someone to trust
Without
A fight
I think that you came too soon
You're the honey and the moon
That lights
Up my night
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish that I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives
Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight
We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill
We hang around
Ever since I've been with you
You hold me up
All the time I'm falling down
But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish i could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives
Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight
I agree. Politics has been in art, music and entertainment since..i don't know..Aeschylus, Aristophanes, etc. (Lysistrata anyone..)
Today's snowflakes are just too sensitive to hear opinions different from their own and start their endless whinging about politics and cry out for censorship and cancellation. Music can be a powerful mover for change - consider all the pro-labor songs during the labor conflicts that consumed the period between 1870s-1930s. There would be no Woodie Guthrie, etc. without those!
Are you serioiusly suggesting an equivalence between Woodie Guthrie's songs of social conscience, which were calls to arms against the oppression of the powerless, and a complete and utter bellend using his platform to blather dumb conspiracy theories, and completely ascientific and potentially dangerous drivel?
This would almost be funny if intended as sarcasm, but I don’t think it is.

Agreed! Politics has no place in art, music and entertainment!

Music so so. Thinking absolutly insulting. Sorry aquí no hay debate ni libertad de opinión. Solo un loco insultándonos por creer en las vacunas. You don't believe in them...fin with it. Don't get the shot but don't get close to me
Arthur first commented publicly on his beliefs related to Covid-19 in April 2020. He stated that Anthony Fauci should be imprisoned and later referred to those that endorse the Covid-19 vaccinations to Nazis. His manager, booking agent, and record label severed their associations with Arthur in 2021. New West Records also declined to release an album he recorded with Peter Buck.[44]
the further along we get, the less crackpot the "crackpots" are becoming about this ordeal

Great songs. It's a shame that he started ranting on vaccines, ivermectin and nazi's. (see article in Los Angeles Times 11-08-2021)
Despite the general "don't mix politics with music comments" push, I appreciate that the "anti-vax" claims were made on this board as I didn't know Mr. Arthur had been so vocal about this.

I FULLY support these discussions, finding censorship to be one of the worst things to come from this entire pandemic situation.
LLRP and not being censored!
Proof that artists (or anyone) should not make strong statements about things they don't understand:

Dude, TMI.

One man's villain is another man's hero.

Arthur identifies as Christian. He champions fitness, wellness, but also pseudoscientific homeopathic remedies. He and his girlfriend, Anna Sophia, have one daughter, Alessia, who was born in July 2021. They have a 29-year age gap.[44]

He has a very unique, distinctive sound and style.
A Paris ma ville est Capitale,
Quel bonheur d'écouter
A une heure si matinale
Une chanson d'espoir et de liberté."
Joa
...
Great line.
In NYC with a few bucks in your pocket chasing "girls". Are you sure they were girls you were chasing? Sorry, don't mean to pee on your parade... ;-)
Uh, yeah, no.
...don't think I'd miss it if I never heard it again. Not unpleasant, but utterly forgettable (for me anyway).
Yep.
It's a big leap to go from 'Great artist' to 'Dawson's Creek episode' in one statement.
Enjoy this song. 7
Tried watching 'Dawson's Creek' once. No Richard Dawson anywhere in the show. I turned the channel.

Uh...do you mean "What a lot of DRIVEL"?
Jeez, "affected or stoned"? That describes nearly every rock/pop music vocalist in history. This does sound pretty weak though.
A solid regular in my 'most frequently played' list.
