♦→ ‘The severed garden‘ ⇓ Jim Morrison ⇐[1943 – 71]
wow, i’m sick of doubt
live in the life of certain, south, cruel bindings
the servants have the power
dog men and they’re mean women
pulling poor blankets over our sailors
i’m sick of dour faces staring at me from the tv tower
i want roses in my garden bower, dig?
royal babies, rubies must now replace aborted strangers in the mud
these mutants blood meal, the plant thats ploughed
they are waiting to take us into the severed garden
you know how pale, wanton, thrillful comes death
in the strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like the scary over friendly guest you bought to bed
death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws
no more money, no more fancy dress
this other kingdom seems by far the best
until its other jaw reveals incest
and lose obedience to a vegetable
i will not go
prefer a feast of friends to the giant family

I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps – Cool and slow with a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance – Others, mean and ruthful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We’ve constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
Well, this is the land where the Pharaoh died
Children, the river contains testaments
the voices of singing women call us in the bar shore
And they are saying, «Forget the night. Live with us in forests of azure.»
The meager food for souls forgot I’ll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
and one morning you awoke and …

¤ GRATEFUL DEAD
◊ ‘Friend Of The Devil’ ↓
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty houndsDidn’t get to sleep last night ‘till the morning came around.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one’s named Sweet Anne Marie, and she’s my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff’s on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I’ll spend my life in jail. Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she’s got my child, but it don’t look like me. Set out runnin’ but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
◊ Truckin’ ↓
Truckin’ got my chips cashed in. keep truckin’, like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on.
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on main street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.
Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans;
New York’s got the ways and means; but just won’t let you be, oh no.
Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home.
One of these days they know they better get goin’
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.
Truckin’, like the do-dah man. once told me you’ve got to play your hand
Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay ‘em down,
Sometimes the lights all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.
What in the world ever became of sweet jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Livin’ on reds, vitamin c, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is ain’t it a shame?
Truckin’, up to Buffalo. been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on.
Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in.
Busted, down on bourbon street, set up, like a bowlin’ pin.
Knocked down, it gets to wearin’ thin. they just wont let you be, oh no.
You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel;
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down.
I guess they cant revoke your soul for tryin’,
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.
Sometimes the lights all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.
Truckin’, I’m a goin home. whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin’ on.
Hey now get back truckin’ home.
◊→ ‘Ripple’ ↓ [GRATEFUL DEAD_1980]
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near, as it were your own? It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall, you fall alone
If you should stand, then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home
¤ History of the Grateful Dead ⇐
They were the Godfathers of the jam band. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’re taking a look at the history of the Grateful Dead.
• The Warlocks
Rock band the Grateful Dead formed in Palo Alto, California in 1965 when guitarists and vocalists Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, keyboardist, harmonica player and vocalist Rob “Pigpen” McKernan, bassist and vocalist Phil Lesh and drummer Bill Kreutzmann first started performing as the Warlocks.
• Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests
The band’s longstanding association with psychedelic drugs began early on when they became the house band for author Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests, which were LSD-fuelled parties in the San Francisco Bay Area. After discovering another band called the Warlocks, they became the Grateful Dead and started building on that name by playing free shows.
• Debut
Following a short stint with MGM, the Dead released their eponymous LP with Warner Bros. in 1967. However, the blues and psychedelic rock effort received little attention outside San Francisco.
• Live Shows
The band then continued developing their live reputation by playing events like the Mantra-Rock Dance, the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. They also added drummer Mickey Hart and keyboardist Tom Constanten to the lineup, while Robert Hunter began making lyrical contributions.
• Jamming and Experimentation
Soon, the Dead released the highly ambitious but extremely expensive albums Anthem of the Sun and Aoxomoxoa. These records showcased their fondness for jamming and experimentation, as well as a psychedelic sound that spanned pop, rock, folk, blues and country.
• Live Albums
The band’s talent for improvisations and varied song interpretations was best captured on their multiple live compilations and the recordings taped by Deadheads throughout the years. 1969’s Live/Dead was considered one of their absolute best.
• Chart Success
Though a drug bust in early 1970 put a damper on things, the Dead found chart success when Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty charted within the top thirty that same year.
• Line-up Changes
The Grateful Dead soon added keyboardist Keith Godchaux and backup vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux to the team, while John Perry Barlow started writing lyrics. And, despite Pigpen’s alcohol-related death in 1973, the Dead marched on.
• Commercial Success
After the colossal Summer Jam at Watkins Glen festival, they finally found commercial success through their own label with the jazz-tinged Wake of the Flood and the acid rock-based From the Mars Hotel. They also distinguished themselves by using their massive Wall of Sound audio system during live performances.
• Hiatus and Other Projects
Mid-decade, The Grateful Dead went on a two-year hiatus while members concentrated on side projects, though the studio LP Blues for Allah was released in 1975.
• More Music and Line-up Changes
They resumed touring the following year and in 1977 they dropped the more symphonic and less freeform studio album, Terrapin Station, via Arista Records. Late in the decade, Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux were replaced by keyboardist Brent Mydland.
• Touring
Following 1978’s Shakedown Street, the Grateful Dead only came out with one studio album in the early 1980s: Go to Heaven. Though a few live compilations were released, the band instead concentrated on touring.
• Top Ten Hit
After a health scare forced Garcia to curb his drug use, their next studio album was only unveiled in 1987 – but it was worth the wait: In the Dark became the band’s first and only top ten effort, and spawned their highest charting single: the top ten track, “Touch of Grey.”
• Last Album
Reinvigorated by this success, the Dead were as present as ever on the touring circuit. Unfortunately, 1989’s Built to Last was the group’s final studio record; the next year, Mydland died from a drug overdose. With keyboardist Vince Welnick and pianist Bruce Hornsby as his replacements, the band slowly got back on the road.
• Jerry Garcia’s Death
After another health scare in 1992, Garcia died of a heart attack while in drug rehab three years later.
• Posthumous Releases and Projects
The band retired in 1995, but they remained in the public consciousness through various releases, including the Dick’s Picks concert series and merchandise sales. Surviving members continued making music together and separately, with notable projects being The Other Ones, The Dead and Furthur.
• Musical Legacy
Though originally categorized as psychedelic rockers, the Grateful Dead essentially spearheaded the jam band. By bringing thousands of Deadheads together through their unique musical style and transcendental live shows, the Grateful Dead altered the history of rock music for the better.
