OK then, this is a mixup, but not really. All day yesterday (or I think it was the day before), I was thinking of that Incredible String Band song Ducks on a Pond. Makes sense, because all I did that day was watch ducks/ducklings on a pond.
I wanted to post my homemade duckling gifs, video, etc. and wondered if the Ducks on a Pond song would be a good accompaniment. Well. . . I hadn't heard the Increds (as we called them back in 1968) for many, many years, but I remembered they were best listened to when you were stoned out of your mind on hashish (with a side of cheap wine). I now see why. The Ducks song just goes on forever, and though it has some arresting images in it, it's just too crazy to include here.
But I found another one, much shorter and more - what, sprightly? Less stoner-rific? Like you can actually listen to it clean and sober. No ducks in it, but it's still a nice song.
So here it is. . . with ducks.
You Get Brighter
You get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
In the morning when I wake I moor my boat and greet you
Hold your brightness in my eye and I wonder what does sleep do
For you get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Oh, wondrous light
Light, light, lighter
You give all your brightness away
and it only makes you brighter
For you get brighter every day and every time I see you
Scattered brightness in your way and you taught me how to love you
And I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
I know you belong to everybody but you can't deny that I'm you
Krishna colours on the wall you taught me how to love you
Krishna colours on the wall you taught me how to love you
(repeat and repeat and repeat)
You get brighter
Every
Day.
