Download "Seven Island Suite" By Gordon Lightfoot. It's one of those songs that jsut paints an image in your head, and really makes you think. It's one of the best songs ever written in my opinion.
I'll post the lyrics if anyone is interested....

This is one of Capt. and my favorite songs. The lyrics do it alone, but you really have o ehar the entire song to get the full effect. It's ona twelve stirng uitar, adn is simple yet extremely intricate with the other instruments in it. It was written in the early seventies, which was a time of peril, and is All in all just a wonderufl song:
Seven islands to the high side
Of the bay, 'cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light
Of a fiery autumn haze
We went walking on the high side
Of the bay on a chilly morn
And we saw how leaves had fallen
On the beds where trees are born
Any man in his right mind could not fail to be made aware
Any woman with a gift of wisdom
Would not seek her answers there
Seven islands to the high side of the bay if you're looking west
To the sunset you can see it, all in fiery autumn dress
Anytime would be the right time to come up to your bed of boughs
Anybody with a wish to wander could not fail but to be aroused
Living high in the city, guess you think it's a pretty good way
You get to learn but when you get burned you got nothing to say
You seem to think because you got chicken to go you're in luck
Fortune will not find you in your mansion or your truck
Brothers will desert you when you're down and shit out of luck
Look around at the morning, guess you're doing the best you can
Surely you know that when you go nobody gives you a hand
Think of the air you're breathing in, think of the time you waste
Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
It's time you tried living on the high side of the bay,you need a rest
Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away, could be so blessed
Fortune will not find you in your mansion turned to gold b Brothers will desert you when your nights turn long and cold
If you feel it you (F) better be(G)lieve it
You're gonna see it, so (F) you really (G) know
It is rising like a feather
Dipping and dancing from below
There's a new wave that is breaking
In the wake of a passing ship
Every nation's gonna be shaken
Put it together, don't let it slip
It's time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
Any man or a woman with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Seven islands to the high side of the bay, 'cross the bay
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
