Running Through My Life
So pretty young back then when Small Faces made amazing tunes, how they never became well known like the Beatles or Rolling Stones no one knows. Each time I go back to the 1960s or 1970s, music still brings a spirited life back, as one felt in our early teens.
Not sure how many think back to the music, the fun that must have been had going out as a teenagers popping into a local pub, being entertained by live bands! Oh we some in our city, not as many as London Town.
Songs that I remember which led up to purchases their LP when they got together in 1977 still in my collection, working now I was able to splash out now and then to buy an LP. Playmates which was pertinent as mostly new songs influenced this their fourth and I think last reunion where members of other bands also joined in, those days everyone was in for a good session mixing. Sadly no one realized Ronnie Lane started to show symptoms of multiple sclerosis leaving abruptly after first rehearsal, unbeknownst to other members, who thought it a drunken tantrum.
Steve Marriot went on to start Humble Pie another good band to visit when you have time. My three picks this week all a tribute to this band who still gets cranked up with teenage zest as it did back then, now the stories come out with my sons and the days of our lives being young!

My Mind’s Eye (With lyrics that open ones mind to life.)
Song by Small Faces
I sit here every day looking at the sky
Ever wondering why I dream my dreams away
And I'm living for today in my mind's eye
Things are clearer than before
Showing me the way, asking me to stay
I'll never close the door
To all these things and more
In my mind's eye
Everybody I know says I've changed, yeah
Laughing behind their hands
I think they're strange
People running everywhere
Running through my life
I couldn't give a care,
Because they'll never see
All that I can see with my mind's eye

We come and go the thread of time is short, should be more humour in the world where everyone enjoys life, not the cock and bull we get dished up all to often of late.
Shadows of the past will always sneak up on me like the butterfly in the morning light, last thing on my mind is never listening to music!
