Barracuda
by Heart
So this ain’t the end
I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the sun
Kisses for everyone and tales
it never fails!
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You’d have me down on my knees
Wouldn’t you, Barracuda?
Back over
Time when we were all
Trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong your selling a song
My name whisper game.
If the real thing don’t do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren’t you, Barracuda?
“Sell me sell you” the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You…I think you got the blues too.
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools – silly fools!

Great song! It’s my 2nd favorite of Hearts’, the first being “All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You”, probably because I’m very fond of songs that tell a story.
Here it is, a song for a song. 😊

Wow, such a siren! I like songs that tell stories, too. I liked that one. Here’s my the one I like next best, Magic Man… https://youtu.be/2jKgQfohoG8?si=9Zgu9qdnuVjOqqKM

I can see/hear why…loved the guitar in it.
To me, about all of the music churned out in the last 15 or 20 years—maybe longer—all sounds about the same, like it came out of the same bland can.

Mostly, I agree. But there have been some what I would consider good ones and some excellent convers of some iconic 60s – 80s music produced lately as well. I’ll be posting some of it in the weeks to come… I’ll be interested to see what you think of them…; -)

Have you seen the video of Disturbed doing “Sound of Silence”? It’s awesome!
