Text of the page (random words):
it had absolutely nothing to do with the girl eventually the girl grows into a young woman goes to the prom and years later has a family of her own it s here that the song gets even more moving i don t want to give anything more away so you ll just have to listen to it yourself the lyrics and story are captivating and well deserving anyone s attention by the end i always find myself an emotional wreck even now despite hearing it for the umpteenth time over the years such is its effect that sometimes when it comes on my player and i m not in the right mood to cope with it i might skip it since it hits just so close to home the late american christian singer wrote other songs about separation and kids dealing with it in the next time you see johnny which also featured here he tells the story from the perspective of a young boy whose father has also left and he prays could you bring back my daddy i know that you ll find a way it contains one of the finest guitar passages i ve ever heard wrapping up a song it s heavy subject matter but kenny treats it with the respect and sensitivity it deserves while also highlighting the impact of family breakdown on the young and innocent it s a subject rarely broached in modern contemporary music if only one person has been so touched and made to think twice while listening to this before making a decision that leads to an unwanted pregnancy as explored in the party s over marks prequel to the above johnny song or before a man or woman walks away from their family then it has served its purpose i became familiar with the christian singer kenny marks when a friend of mine eric lent me his cassette tapes in school in no time i consumed a lot of kenny s music and even bought his greatest hits collection years later called absolutely positively all of his songs had very strong and uplifting messages kenny comes from the evangelical and charismatic branches of the christian tree having played for fellowship groups and at billy graham events although his name may not be known to a younger generation of christian music aficionados at his height in the 80s and 90s he was a true contemporary christian music star with a string of us christian radio hits his songs might be considered too sanguine sentimental and rote by numbers by modern tastes and a cynical world but i won t shy away from them since they impacted and informed me at such an impressionable age they haven t worn on these listening ears despite how long i ve been hearing them as always thanks for reading and listening cheers folks she wore a white dress and a rainbow ribbon in her hair one candle burned on her birthday cake mom and dad are there wishing they could be like her without a care she wore a pink dress to her school on the very first day her mom and dad drove her there and they cried as they drove away tears for her but more tears for yesterday she wore a blue dress and rode her bike to the corner store daddy said now he s leaving for good and he slammed the door no goodbyes no more daddy anymore well as she grew up they grew apart it ll never be the same now they watched love go with a heavy heart and they wonder who s to blame it s not your fault that he went away he went walking out the door and it s not your fault that he had to say he didn t love me anymore she wore a red dress and her momma s single strand of pearls dressed and ready for the senior prom what a lovely girl and her momma said you re a woman now and it s time i said this certain thing or two have the time of your life and remember dear i m so very proud of you oh it s not your fault that he went away there was nothing you could do and please believe me when i say there is nothing wrong with you she wore a white dress one candle burns as it did before her baby smiles at the sad old man standing at the door and he said i don t know what i ever left here for well i can t stay long but i want to say a certain thing or two since i ve been gone my world s been grey the color stayed with you and before he left he laid a gift on baby s little bed inside they found a rainbow dress of white pink blue and red of white pink blue and red references 1 kenny marks wikipedia tagged with kenny marx white dress posted in music northport yachting club posted on august 17 2026 by observationblogger 8 comments i think going clothes shopping is one of my most difficult assignments especially when it comes to t shirts seinfeld does a bit about how at a certain age men just get bored or nonplussed with the whole charade and decide i m going to wear this for the rest of my life so often when you see older gents you can almost determine which decade they decided to hell with it i m just going to keep wearing these clothes from this era and be done with it there s another funny bit about men wearing their underwear until the last bit of fabric remains or at least until the elastic loosens to such a degree that you return home with your undies hanging nearly beneath your butt cheeks ok well i added that last bit because it happened to me yesterday so the last time i went clothes shopping arghhh i came across a two for one bottom of the barrel t shirt deal i snapped it up i figured if they didn t last after a few washes at least i could turn them into shirt undergarments for my makeshift pyjamas sweet anyway the shirt you see above was one of the two i bought and i m relieved to say that despite a few loads they ve held up pretty well bargain the weird thing is it was only this morning when i laid it out to put on that i actually read what was written on it for the first time at least from what i remember northport yachting club huh and i wondered if by wearing it people walking past me might think wow did you just see that guy who walked past he s in the northport yachting club that s pretty neat although he s obviously not too fond of ironing i have a hard enough time spelling yacht let alone being a member of a yachting club even trying to spell it here to begin this article my immediate attempts were yaght then yaut well you get the drift excuse the pun i actually had to insert the image to get the spelling right or perhaps people wise up to it you know what i reckon that guy s full of shit and is brandishing something he has absolutely no claim to also bogotá is so far removed from the coast that you d have to travel a full 24 hours before even getting within the vicinity of a yaghting yauting yachting club i remember my father wearing a cap that had skipper written on it along with some us navy emblem same thing people can pick up the scent of bullshit a mile off anyway these bizarre thoughts sometimes come to me and i find myself chuckling on the street in any time previous people might have thought there goes another one for the looney bin thankfully because i have an earbud in to listen to music i lost the other one people can just think i m responding to a conversation on hands free i m hip i m down with it the grey hair is just a cloak so i m squeaky clean and can go on without a care in the world just like people often do oh i have a call coming in it s the northport yachting club wondering when i ll be needing my skiff tagged with northport yachting club t shirts posted in reflections where were you last night the traveling wilburys posted on august 17 2026 by observationblogger leave a comment the tone of the acoustics on this track is the standout for me here and combined with that tasty rhythm and the congenial vocal harmonies we re accustomed to hearing from them it makes this yet another keeper from the supergroup the traveling wilburys it s just got a great sound you can also tell they were having a lot of fun making this record given the frivolous nature of the lyrics and their playful alternating of vocals the song s lead vocals here are by bob dylan and george harrison the song tells of a love interest who has gone awol and they ask where she s been and who she s been seen with worst of all she s making a name for herself it s all a bit twisted and tongue in cheek really but in keeping with the humour throughout the record this cool little toe tapping number is taken from their second and final studio album traveling wilburys vol 3 1990 volume 3 seems less well honed in its endeavour compared to their classic volume 1 debut petty described the album as a little more rough and ready a bit more raucous than vol 1 also considering the fairly recent tragic passing of roy orbison i imagine the group wasn t trying to live up to or measure themselves by what they d done previously you simply can t replace someone like roy we d become this unit we were all good pals we always knew we were going to do another one and now it s just the four of us jeff lynne harrison was the most active in promoting the wilburys carrying out interviews well into 1989 he said he was waiting for all the other wilburys to finish being solo artists so that they could renew the collaboration despite volume 3 not being anywhere near as popular as volume 1 it still contains some very good songs that have unfortunately flown under the radar when people recall the music of the traveling wilburys i assumed vol 2 was skipped in memory of roy orbison but according to jeff lynne that was george s idea he said let s confuse the buggers after roy s passing the remaining four members adopted new pseudonyms for vol 3 spike george harrison clayton jeff lynne muddy tom petty and boo bob dylan vol 3 was dedicated to orbison as lefty wilbury the pseudonym orbison had used in 1988 in honour of his hero lefty frizzell after the wilburys wikipedia according to jim keltner the decision on the group s future after vol 3 lay with harrison keltner said that from his conversations with lynne petty and dylan they were all keen to reunite whereas harrison wavered in his enthusiasm where were you last night you were so uptight what did you do who did you see were you with someone who reminded you of me where were you last night where were you last week were you up a creek did you stay up pacing the floor got me worried you ignore me more and more where were you last night you weren t around me when they found me where were you last night you better stop your messin around your name is going round from town to town it s making me sad making me feel bad where were you last night where were you last year you sure as hell weren t here you weren t waiting where you said you sent someone in your place instead where were you last night it s getting to me making me gloomy where were you last night references 1 traveling wilburys wikipedia tagged with the traveling wilburys the traveling wilburys vol 3 where were you last night posted in music darlington county bruce springsteen posted on august 16 2026 by observationblogger leave a comment springsteen and the e street band are putting the pedal to the metal in this no nonsense rocker with him and his buddy wayne racing down the highway it s one of his purest escapist songs and you can t help but be taken for the ride it s once again great ol bare knuckles storytelling from the boss but not just that the music seems to mimic the car s motor as they roar towards darlington county hey you kids out there don t copy what bruce and wayne are doing here or you might find yourself like wayne does handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper s ford he picks up a girl on the way to party all night and then after sha la la sha la la la la you get the picture this song doesn t mess about and that s what s so exhilarating about his real time telling of his trip to darlington county in south carolina i think lots of men and women can recall from their young adulthoods having taken some crazy trip chasing excitement and opportunity and where they might not have got up to much good it fits perfectly on his global mega hit and most commercially successful record born in the u s a one of the biggest selling albums of all time cha ching darlington county also reflects like many other songs this working class everytown usa image which is of course highly relatable
