Favorite lines from Rhiannon

[Vianna]

Let's list our favorite lines from the song Rhiannon.

Here are mine:

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is your darkness

and

Oh, No, Rhiannon, you cry, but then she's gone
And your life knows no answers

and Silly Dreamer Try hard You can't leave her..

[strandinthewind]

Once in a million years - a lady like her - RIIIIIIIIIISES

Oh no Rhiannon you cry - but then she's gone

And your life knows no answers

stunning to me. AND the million years line was not in the original - it was a live only thing as I gleefully discovered in like 1981 in the piano intro on the Bella Donna video :cool:

[amber]

dreams unwind, love's a state of mind
cat in the dark, then baby, she is your darkness.
there's really only a few to choose from... :p

[ontheEdgeof17]

RHIAAAAAAAAAANNON.....Don't Go.
RHIAAAAAAAAAANNON.....Stay.

(I like that part of The Dance version)


Plus, the lines mentioned above.

[skcin]

Live:

"I don't change, and baby you don't change, it's all the same, RHIAAAAANON!" or "and you still cry out for her...don't leave me nnnnoooooooooowwwwwww!"

Album:

"Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind" and "she rules her life like a fine skylark and when the sky is starless."

[Serrart]

dreams unwind, love's a state of mind

Ditto. :nod:

And considering live versions:

"Well would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?
Ohhh....I don't think you do"

Romy

[GardenStateGirlie]

Live: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I DON'T THINK YOU DO!" :nod:

[GateandGarden]

"She rules her life like a fine skylark"

"Would you stay if she promised you heaven"

[GypsySorcerer]

"Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night, and wouldn't you love to love her?"

[gldstwmn]

Dreams unwind
love's a state of mind

and

'cause baby you don't change
and I don't change
and you don't change
Rhiannon
'cause darlin'
I don't change
and baby you don't change
and it's all the same
Rhiannon

[skcin]

'cause baby you don't change
and I don't change
and you don't change
Rhiannon
'cause darlin'
I don't change
and baby you don't change
and it's all the same
Rhiannon

Thank you for the exact quote! Love it! :)

[DeadliestPoison]

If I don't change and you don't change
Then is it all the same, Rhiannon?
All the same
All the same
All the same, Rhiannon

I just love the All The Sames. <3

[dissention]

dreams unwind, love's a state of mind

there's really only a few to choose from... :p

I agree. That's the best line to me, all others seem mediocre next to it.

[AliceLover]

Another Live: Nothing ever changes, no nothing every changes, RHIANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

RAL Tour: Life holds no promises

BTM tour: ITS YOUR LIFE, ITS YOUR LIFE

[TwistedGypsy]

"Take him by the sky, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" :thumbsup:
"Did your dreams unwind?" "Was your love a state of mind?" "Is that what you want?" :nod:
"All the same...." So profound in so many ways
"Dream on you silly dreamer, try hard you can't leave her!"
Brit

[WildInTheWind]

I think all the good ones were already said...but one that sticks out in my mind is the Japan one "golden, emerald, satin..." I like the 3 birds reference.
And I like the "and he still crys out for heeeerrrr...don't leave me". I like the whole damn song actually :D
~*~becky~*~

[Chain of Chains]

You can't leave her
Dream on...silly dreamer
Try hard
You can't leave her
Leave her...
Try hard...try hard... try HARDER :eek: :eek: :eek:

[GODDESS6]

Live: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I DON'T THINK YOU DO!" :nod:

[GateandGarden]

From this most recent tour:

*head drop*Those are cool lyrics. :nod:

[Vianna]

I just love it when the tempo changes there when the song goes in to the Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind part..

[gldstwmn]

Thank you for the exact quote! Love it! :)

I had to listen to it a few times before I got it right. :laugh: It's almost like she means no one changes Rhiannon.

[MACFAN]

would you stay if she promised you heaven

[cliffdweller]

Once in a million years - a lady like her - RIIIIIIIIIISES

Oh no Rhiannon you cry - but then she's gone

And your life knows no answers

Ditto.

I also like,

"Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and who will be her lover?"

[Vianna]

<i>Richard...When I finish this song...We have to go to a park...and record the sound of birds, rising. You know, the sound of birds, rising..."</i>

I have this. Right before it, she says, "Lindsey, isn't Rhiannon a beautiful name?" and he says, "Yes, Stevie, Rhiannon is a beautiful name"

[golddustwoman77]

"Oh why don't you take me with you to the SKYYYY! Dreamer! Oh you try so hard you can't leave her! Dream on, you're a dreamer! Silly dreamer! Ohhhhohhhhhohhhhhohhhhohhhhhaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

I love that line too! Good one. :nod:


All you have to do is look at my signature.....
"Dreams unwind, Love's a State of Mind" is one of my favorite lines, period. :)

I also like these lines as well:

"Once in a million years a lady like her rises,
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
and your life knows no answer"

"Wellllllllll, take me like the wind, child, take me with the sky"
