Northern Soul Uk Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Just going through some old documents and found this Soul poem that I wrote about 37 years ago. Wondered if anyone on here had ever sat down and put pen to paper and captured their feelings about this wonderful music? Old King Cole's Soul Old King Cole Loved his Soul Loved merry old Soul did he He called for Danny White, Jimmy Thomas and Bill Black Man! What a fiddlers 3 Now first of all came Jimmy Thomas and he sang 'The beautiful night' when he had finished he left the stage And on came Danny White When Danny White was on the stage He sang 'Cracked up over you' Then he sang 'Natural Soul Brother' To mention but a few Then on the stage came our well known friend Bill Black in great demand And guess who came on with his combo That's right! The Bob and Earl band Now both the bands went on to play 'Little Queenie' and 'My little girl' But all this soulful music Sent King Cole into a whirl Then all the Ladies, Lords and Dukes All did their very best But alas they could do nothing And laid his Soul to rest.

ImberBoy Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Like it, its one of the most moving pieces I have ever read! It's up there with Poe's A Dream Within A Dream or Blake's A Poison Tree.

Guest Brian J Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Here's one I wrote years ago from the darker side and was influenced by a couple of friends on the scene..... Chemical Brains Chemical brains sit alone in their room, frightened of leaving their guilt-ridden tomb. There's a smile on their lips but it's just a disguise, For they can't hide the pain that burns in their eyes. It's a pain they're aware of but one they don't need, that festers inside like an alien breed. 'Won't somebody help me?' their eyes seem to shout but their plea goes unanswered, there's no-one about. It's just them and their world they've created inside, with nowhere to run, so there's nowhere to hide. Just lost in a chasm of nightmares and pain, endlessly floating through oceans of rain. These paranoid minds play their own little games, like pointing the finger and calling out names. Yet their twisted assortment of personal grief, helps no-one least them, to assist their relief. The solution's quite simple, it's easy to fix, a brain and a chemical, really don't mix!

Chemical Brains Chemical brains sit alone in their room, frightened of leaving their guilt-ridden tomb. There's a smile on their lips but it's just a disguise, For they can't hide the pain that burns in their eyes. It's a pain they're aware of but one they don't need, that festers inside like an alien breed. 'Won't somebody help me?' their eyes seem to shout but their plea goes unanswered, there's no-one about.

The solution's quite simple, it's easy to fix, a brain and a chemical, really don't mix! I bet those Winter nights fly by Brian.

viphitman Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 part 2.... Soulheads Soulheads over there friggin talcum everywhere Look what I have got it's really rare it cost me a fortune but I don't care Dancing Dancing all night long Soulheads Soulheads what's going on ????? We don’t need no jewellery or a fancy car we are just happy the way we areIt’s sweet soul music what keeps us sane not a tedious life in the fast lane We sing along dance the blues away or just stomp in happiness any time of day We search for years for that elusive song find the artists although they may have gone They have a special place in our hearts they will live forever and we shall be their guards It’s a feeling so deep inside when you’re on that wooden dance floor you just can’t hide The world is perfect the moment is there pure happiness and you just don’t care A backdrop here some shuffling there right on the beat you jump into the air You land on your feet and you spin like a devil a tattoo on your forearm says ``soul rebel`` You slide away all troubles are gone your close eyes and you finally know where you belong have fab sunday folks
