Dead Songs in Depth

    
What is behind the spelling of Trichromes? Shouldn't it be Trichomes?
  

    
No, it's definitely Trichromes as the name of the group including
Bill Kreutzmann. I've just checked.
  

    
158/366. From 'When I Leave This World Behind', from the Moonlight
Rodeo album Rio Lindo (music by Kurt Huget):

Sorting through the memories of my dreams
Glimmering of sun on the mountain streams

www.whitegum.com/songfile/WHENILEA.HTM
  

    
Wouldn't Trichromes be translated as "three colors"?
  

    
Ha. No: Trichrome staining is a histological staining method that
uses two or more acid dyes in conjunction with a polyacid. Staining
differentiates tissues by tinting them in contrasting colours.
  

    
Wow! - impressed with David's research
  

    
160/366. From 'Eulalie', a song Hunter first performed on his 2004
tour:

Rockabye lady in the sky, come and hear my lullaby
Far from care and far from pain, fields of roses wet with rain

www.whitegum.com/songfile/EULALIE.HTM
  

    
161/366. From 'Down The Middle', a Hunter/Nelson song played by
NRPS:

Whatever they say will be a lie
So cover your ears and pass on by

www.whitegum.com/songfile/DOWNTHEM.HTM
  

    
162/366. From 'Key To Your Room', a song Hunter worked on for a long
time before unveiling it in 2003:

Do what you gotta do and do it some more
And try to believe in what you're doing it for

www.whitegum.com/songfile/KEYTOROO.HTM
  

    
I got my numbers muddled up and missed the proper #162 I've posted
elsewhere (Key To Your Room should have been #163).

162/366. From 'Believe It Or Not:

I know what I'm asking, and I know it's a lot
When I say that I love you, believe it or not

www.whitegum.com/songfile/BELIEVE.HTM
  

    
164/366. From 'Big Six', a Hunter/Nelson song played by NRPS.

Teach us to talk right, to do right, and then
How to walk in like children and walk out like men

www.whitegum.com/songfile/BIGSIX.HTM
  

    
165/366. From 'Supersonic Vision', on Mickey Hart's Mysterium
Tremendum:

Visions of a dream come true, another dream denied
Everything that's granted reveals another side

www.whitegum.com/songfile/SUPERSON.HTM
  

    
166/366. From 'One Dog Blues', music by Rob Barraco, played by the
Dragonflies (and by him with <tnf>)

Good afternoon, babe, morning went by so fast
Nothing you can do about it, to make the damn thing last

www.whitegum.com/songfile/ONEDOGBL.HTM
  

    
167/366. From 'Wilma And Beauregard', in the second edition of Box
Of Rain but never seemingly never played:

I met a friend of a friend and we stopped for a chat
She works as a stripper cross town at Schrodinger's Cat

www.whitegum.com/songfile/WILMAAND.HTM
  

    
Well now ...
  

    
158 From 'Prodigal Town', on Hunter's album Jack O'Roses:

I hear Vivaldi come drifting on by
From a ladies' quartet down the hall

www.whitegum.com/songfile/PRODIGAL.HTM
  

    
158/366. From 'Solitary Word', a Hunter/Lauderdale song on Blue Moon
Junction:

It don't come so easy as once it came before
Got to get up earlier, just fifteen minutes more

www.whitegum.com/songfile/SOLITARY.HTM
  

    
Nice album, and a beautifully constructed song. I hadn't come across
the Solitary World aspect. From the same song:

It's how you say it, more than what you say
The way you play it, more than what you play

Something from Edward Young (Night Thoughts) for us to consider:

Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote,
And think they grow immortal as they quote.
  

    
Wow - had never come across that or the Blake illustrations
(http://50watts.com/Night-Thoughts-of-William-Blake). Thanks for the
tip-off.
  

    
170/366. (back to correct numbering) From 'Walker After Midnight',
set to music by Vince Welnick:

Maybe it's my destiny to love what others hate
Maybe there is time to change, and maybe it's too late

www.whitegum.com/songfile/WALKERAF.HTM
  

    
Young's Night Thoughts was on my shopping list for about thirty
years, until I eventually found a copy printed in 1800. It is
sometimes held to be the founding text of surrealism. Now you can
get a nice soft back abridged version with the William Blake
etchings.
  

    
171/366. From 'Where Did You Go?', the penultimate part of Robert
Hunter's Amagamalin Suite:

Laying awake in a strange part of town
Sky like slate, rain patters down

www.whitegum.com/songfile/WHEREDID.HTM
  

    
172/366 From 'Clementine', only performed a few times in 1968:

Chopped olive sandwiches, roses and wine
Cold ripe persimmons, my sweet Clementine

www.whitegum.com/songfile/CLEMENTI.HTM
  

    
just love alll these...thanks Alex!
  

    
So was he referring to a Clementine tomato?
