Another Good Song About Hanging Out With The Pals: Down On The Corner By Credence Clearwater Revival

Right now,  I am just reminiscing about the good old days again.  I just trying to shake off that bad funk from the holidays.  I'm trying to think of happy thoughts right now.  The good times when the friends were all there and the parties kept on coming.  As I reminisce, I listen to Credence Clearwater Revival's song "Down On The Corner."

I'm just trying to take myself back in time when things were simple but nonetheless happier.  The bonds were solid as laughter filled the air.  Everybody was there smiling and listening like this.  Sure we didn't have the internet or any of those fancy ipods or whatever devices.  We didn't need them because the only thing that mattered was the gang was all here and everything was cool.

These days it's a different story.  Times are hard and problems start popping so fast and so many, it'll drive you crazy if you're not strong enough to deal with them.  The bonds are once being threatened and the last holiday was one that I would like to forget.  It sure was great back them.  All you needed was place to hang around and cool people to be with to make the world was all right.

Best Describes How I Listen To My 24K Collection: Looking Out My Back Door By Credence Clear Water Revival

The only pleasure I get on Saturday is listening to my favorite radio program which is DWRT FM's 99.5 rt's 24K Weekend.  As I've stated time and time again, it really back the memories when I hear those old songs fill airwaves. As I listen it takes me back in time when things were simple and my problems were non-existent. I think happy thoughts and if the weekend starts to suck, the tunes help make it bearable.  The song "Looking Out My Back Door" by Credence Clear Water Revival bests describes how I feel when I'm listening to this program.

I'd best describe this as Prozac song cause it makes me feel good every time I listen to it.  I wear my earphones on my trusty MP3 player (can't afford the more advance stuff yet but it does the trick) and tune in.  As I listen, I got that silly grin on my face as my head shakes from left to right while I sit next to the window instead of a back door and watch as the scenery change to a more pleasant image of happy people with rainbow shooting from the sky and everything is all right.  It gets even better when you play while you're driving down the road. It's like you're driving away from all the crap and let the happy thoughts take you to a better place.  Now that's getting inspiration from the airwaves.

Well, the weekend is almost over as the night sets in.  The program's over and my player's battery is used which is fine with me since the program's gone. And it's back to reality, the very ugly reality but you have to face nonetheless cause it's the only reality that's there.  Well, I'm recharging the player and this time, I'll be listening to the songs from the program that I've collected over the years.  That why I'll still have happy thoughts as I face the daily grind.

Missing The Old House: Green River By Credence Clear Water Revival

Last year, I blogged about my old house where I used the song "Barry Town" by Steely Dan for that post. Still reeling from that stupid escapade, I remember the good times that me, my brothers and my friends had back there. Life was way much simpler back then and there was always a place to hang out with since it was so large. The good about that is there was always a corner where one could retreat to and just chill. Missing that old house reminds me of the song "Green River" by Credence Clear Water Revival.

Man life was so simpler back then. That was always a place of magic and mystery where there was always something going down on a weekends. Even when nothing was happening, you can simply chill the whole day away without a care in the world. I had a lot of fun living there. It was our own version of Never Never Land.

Sadly, things are different now. Getting genuine down time is now a rare commodity. Worse part about is whenever I pass by the old road leading to my former residence, I can't help but feel a stab in the heart realizing that it's no longer there. Sometimes at night, I remember the place the way it was back then and all the great times that we had which so much fun. Maybe if some miracle would happen, one day I'll back there and the old place restored to its old glory and the good times are back again

Rain Equals Problems 2: Who'll Stop The Rain By Credence Clear Water Revival

In My Rain King Post, I equated the rain with problems. Like the rain, when problems come, they really pour down on you. Even if there was some respite, it would be like a small umbrella and you'd find yourself drenched. One thing about getting wet from rain and having a headache from multiple problems have in common is that you'd wish it would stop. Asking that question makes me feel like listening to Credence Clear Water Revival's song "Who'll Stop The Rain".

Like problems, when the rain comes, it really pelts you when it pours down. It starts off with soft pelts that you pay no head until they get bigger and pour down in large numbers and before you know it, you're drenched from head to toe. Problems are the same thing except with rain, you'll be lucky if it's just about getting wet. Like rain, when problems start falling one after another, it sure wears a man out. You're left cold and miserable, wondering if there's any end to this.

Whether it's rain or problems, there's no telling when it will stop. One thing's for sure and that's whether it's rain, problems or both, the only way to deal with it is to brave the downpour. Even if you do get wet, it's your way of saying that you won't back down to this crap your'e pouring on me. Still, there'll be a time when even the most brutal of storms would stop and a solution for the hardest of problems will be found. It's just a matter of hanging in there and even if there's no stopping the rain, it also about being prepared for it no matter how long it takes.
