Favorite lines from Rhiannon

[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

[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

Those are cool lyrics.

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

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

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

Ditto.

I also like,

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

[Vianna]

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

I love that line too! Good one.


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"

Right now, in the context of this news story, it would be: Will you ever win?


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ood/388082002/

I don't know the full context of this story, but I take it at face value: it appears a homeless man was outside of a McDonalds and an ordinary citizen takes him in and buys him food. The homeless man appears to be quietly eating his meal and was told to leave the "restaurant." The man who purchased his meal speaks up boldly to defend the man. About half way through the video, as a police officer was speaking to the homeless man, one summoned to remove the homeless man from the premises, the song "Rhiannon" is playing in the background. The whole thing is sad.

I was impressed with the man who spoke up to defend the homeless man, who purchased him a meal and then later even offered to take him elsewhere to eat. McDonalds- not my kind of place. Dreams unwind, loves a state of mind. I know.

The guy yelling who bought the food is a jerk. He did a worthy and tremendous act of kindness but it was ruined with his lack of respect towards the restaurant and the police. The police must do their job. Anytime someone calls and wants someone removed from their property because of complaints, they must act. To yell at the police and restaurant managers YOU SUCK over and over was pathetic. I feel bad for the customers. He upset the customers way more than any homeless person would. He could have spoke to the officers and manager in a normal voice and the entire situation could have been resolved. But he forced everyone to get into corners and tried to scream over everyone. He antics and behavior really voided his tremendous act of kindness.

actually, she says "Lindsey, isn't Rhiannon a beautiful name?" and then she says, as if she's Lindsey, "Yes, Stevie, Rhiannon is a beautiful name"

I like how she kinda hiccups when she says the sound of (hiccup) birds rising"

she's so toasted on that tape
