SONGS YOU WONT HEAR ON AMERICAN IDOL

Old men crying, young men dying
World still turns as Father Time looks on
On and on
Children playing, dreamers praying
Laughter turns to tear as love has gone
Has it gone?

Oh, it's a hard road
Oh, it's a hard road

Whirlwind churning, lovers learning
On this path of life we can't back down
Is it wrong?
Widows weeping, babies sleeping
Life becomes the singer and the song
Sing along

Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load

Why make the hard road?
Why can't we be friends?
No need to hurry
We'll meet in the end

Why make the hard road?
Why can't we be friends?
No need to worry
Let's sing it again

Brother's sharing, mother's caring
Nightime falling victim to the dawn
Shadows small
Days are crawling, time is calling
To the Earth another life is gone
Love line drawn

Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load
Oh, it's a hard road
Oh, it's a hard road...

Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past
And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know
Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past
And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know
Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past
And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know...



I’m posting this mostly because it hardly sounds like Black Sabbath.
It is on one of their later albums, an album I didn’t really care for, even after being a HUGE Sabbath fan when I was in my teens. It severely lacks those wickedly strange riffs, and musical theme changes  typically done by Sabbath.


But I found this live version, and it sounds better than the album version, which had a bunch of orchestration included in it. It was the only song I liked on the album at the time, but I do like this live version better.

I like it a lot, I just can’t stop listening to it and humming it as I drive home in the afternoon.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that even if you don’t like Black Sabbath, and don’t care for Ozzy, that you might still like this just the same.
Because to me, it sounds like a pop song.
Just because you won’t likely hear it on American idol, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be there.

You will let me know when they have Black Sabbath night on the Idol, yes?
