about

Half a century on, are we still “stardust and golden”? Of course nobody could write on this theme without referencing Joni Mitchell's classic 'Woodstock'. In Howard's version, a wistful, wandering melody evokes some magical imagery and poses some poignant lyric questions. The album begins by glancing back...

‘ We’re so many miles, and so far away… “

lyrics

Oh how I liked your smile
Everything beautiful lasts a little while
You were the angel in the flower dress
In the rain and mud, your hair a mess
The window was open we could float above
High on music in the sea of love
How I wished the feeling could stay
We’re so many miles and fifty years away

We drove all day in fog and rain
The rolling hills of New York State
Into the garden and entered the dream
Barriers were broken, freedom and love the theme
Music rose up the hill in harmony and grace
A celebration on earth, a special time and place
How I wished the magic could stay
We’re so many miles and light years away


Looking back over the fleeting years
The dream has faded and sometimes re-appears
We’re water under the bridge, wiser I suppose
When despair rises, I still believe in hope
Here’s a prism to revisit the past
Where is the angel in the flower dress?
How I wished the feeling could stay
We’re so many miles and so many years away
