Man in the Wilderness
10 years ago
General
Somehow, as the decades flow onward into the darkness this song seems to fit my mind all to well.
After spending a unproductive day, and a melancholy evening listening to Scopitone Film reels I cranked up iTunes and scrolled through the cruft of music to find this buried. iTunes says I've played it 24 times, but that's just on this machine. Heavens knows how many times the LP and then CD have been played
Anyway, STYX - Man in the Wilderness

Another year has passed me by
Still I look a myself and cry
What kind of man have I become?
All of the years I've spent in search of myself
And I'm still in the dark
'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely soldier off to war
Sent away to die, never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Ten Thousand people look my way
But they can't see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And I'm still in the dark
'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
(I'm alive)
Looking for love I'm a man with emotion
(And my heart's on fire)
I'm dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean
I'm alive!

I never even expected to find the name "Scopitone" on here. It is one of my big regrets. I had the chance to buy 24 Scopitone machines, partially loaded for about $100 many years ago. No way to move or store. Now, they have become a bit rare. I think they just dumped them...
