{CHICAGO} ~ "Beginnings" ~ (7/21/1970) ~ @ Tanglewood ~ MUSIC ~ ("Only the Beginning . . .")

CHICAGO - Beginnings
Recorded Live: 7/21/1970 - Tanglewood - Lenox, Massachusetts: U.S.A.

When MEN played their own instruments, and they and their managers/agents/labels/lawyers/hangers-on, and assorted shady characters fought it out for the MONEY; day by day.

Gig by gig.

These weren't soy-boys.

(This is a tune about how the emotions of early love could SOUND.
The lyrics are second. The music/sound is first.
The SOUND of music is what was talked about, back then . . . from the beginning of recorded history, up until egomaniacs took over our reality. Believe it or not, SOUND was the most important concept, with regard to music.

Now, it's moronic egos.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LYRICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I'm with you
It doesn't matter where we are;
Or what we're doin':
I'm with you, that's all that matters

Time passes much too quickly
When we're together laughing;
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no
How I wish I could sing it to you

Woah oh woah woah woah woah
Woah oh woah woah woah woah . . .

Mostly, I'm silent
Silent
Even though I just hold your hand . . .

But, when I kiss you
I feel a thousand different feelings;
The color of chills
All over my body . . .

And when I feel them
I quickly try to decide
Which one I should try to
Put into words
Did you ever
Try to put it into words?!

Woah oh woah woah woah woah
Woah oh woah woah woah woah . . .

Mostly, I'm silent
Silent
(C'mon, man . . .)

Silent.

Only the beginning
Of what I want to feel forever

Only the beginning
Only the beginning.
It's only the beginning . . .
It's only the just the START . . .

. . .
