Poetry in Music
Which comes first? A beautiful melody or beautiful lyrics? Or do they both work together? I can't share with you the melody of the song Trampoline by Tony Carey, but I can share the lyrics.
Some people got the midas touch now
Some people are waiting for the train
Some people get blood on their hands
Some people see disneyland now
Some people are candles in the rain
Like a trampoline
Goes up goes down
Out of luck or heaven bound
But we've got something and we'll never touch the ground
On the trampoline
Just me and you
Just a little love will see us through
Hang on to me baby, I'll be here with you
On the trampoline
Some days are like a leaky boat
Some days are like all she wrote now
Some days I'm so happy I could sing
I won't tell you 'bout the things I've seen
The ups and downs and the inbetweens
I get so low but I know
My bells are gonna ring
It's a trampoline
We are on a roller coaster
We have made it through this
Baby what we need is mostly
Being sure of what we are
On the trampoline...
Tony Carey is an artist that my husband has introduced me to. I think his most known song is "Fine Fine Day." One of the advantages of hooking up with an older man. He has different music from his generation. Some of it is actually good. (tehe)

Always like to discover a new artist like this. Going to his website I was able to listen t o a 5 min cut "In Babaylon."
Looks like he is pretty much established in Europe. Shame he has not made a bridgehead in the US.
