Old Friends (for W@@dro) - napman - 24-09-2009 I was kind of hesitate to put this in this Songbook Forum but then I think it's more suitable than at YouTube Forum because for one reason it's Farang song and the other reason is because I wanted to dedicate this one for friendship between I and W@@dro. Someone may say "Big Deal!" and he's right! I and W@@dro first met and became close friends more than 40 years ago, we became friends by choice not by chance. We've spent only few wonderful years together doing what we loved most and went seperate ways and after so many years of searching I just gave up thinking that I would never see him or hear from him again. Now it seems like we are back together again (Thanks to Nimit in particular), enjoying what we still love most and also have a chance or two to give some precious experiences that nobody could buy it, we paid the price by years of our lifes, so I think they are priceless!! I'm so glad he re-appeared in this Bluehouse to entertain quite a lot of our younger generations and me too. I thought of him today and Impromtu!, this song came out from me to him, 40 years from now I wonder if there'll be any other two friends that will re-act what we're doing today? OLD FRIENDS (Simon & Garfunkel) Old friends, Old friends Sat on their park bench Like bookends. A newspaper blown though the grass Falls on the round toes Of the high shoes Of the old friends. Old friends, Winter companions, The old men Lost in their overcoats, Waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, Sifting through trees, Settle like dust On the shoulders Of the old friends. Can you imagine us Years from today, Sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange To be seventy. Old friends, Memory brushes the same years Silently sharing the same fears Friendship is one of the most wonderful things that we human beings can experience in our life times. RE: Old Friends (for W@@dro) - Microtone - 24-09-2009 I'm still in shock. Get back to you later! w@@dro RE: Old Friends (for W@@dro) - Microtone - 24-09-2009 Napman, I was so deeply touched by the fact you took the time to perform and dedicate this song to me and our friendship. I was so blown away I couldn't think of anything to say but have finally found the courage to thank you for our friendship over the years and many years to come. I'll treasure our friendship always. I love you..man. Sincerely, Woody Bangkok Napman! This one for you. Didn't we nail it, my friend? This one for you too. Didn't we nail it, my friend? This one for you too. Didn't we nail it, my friend? This one for you too. Didn't we nail it, my friend? One more for you. Didn't we nail it, my friend? RE: Old Friends (for W@@dro) - Microtone - 24-09-2009 And..remember this song? Didn't we nail it, my friend? In the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find In the year 3535 Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies Everything you think, do, or say Is in the pill you took today In the year 4545 Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes You won't find a thing to do Nobody's gonna look at you In the year 5555 Your arms are hanging limp at your sides Your legs not nothing to do Some machine is doing that for you In the year 6565 Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too From the bottom of a long black tube In the year 7510 If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then Maybe he'll look around himself and say Guess it's time for the Judgement day In the year 8510 God's gonna shake his mighty head He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been Or tear it down and start again In the year 9595 I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing Now it's been 10,000 years Man has cried a billion tears For what he never knew Now man's reign is through But through the eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday In the year 2525 If man is still alive If woman can survive They may find RE: Old Friends (for W@@dro) - v74 - 24-09-2009 Very impress ! RE: Old Friends (for W@@dro) - napman - 24-09-2009 Wow, W@@dro, What a great memory you got! Yeah, we nailed them all I guess (one way or another!) And you still remember "In the year 2525"? 5555 Long live our Friendship and let's hope our younger friends here follow our ancient footsteps. I love you too..man (as always)
