Lyrics:
Morning, Morning
Morning, morning
Feel so lonesome in the morning
Morning, morning
Morning brings me grief
Sunshine, sunshine,
Sunshine left upon my face
And the secret of the shining
Puts me in my running place
Evening, evening
Feel so lonesome in the evening
Evening, evening
Evening brings me grief
Moonshine, moonshine
Moonshine dots the hills with grace
And the glory of the shining
Seems to break my simple pace
Nighttime, nighttime
Feel so lonesome in the nighttime
Nighttime, nighttime
Does not bring me to relief
Starshine, starshine
Chills the moon upon my cheek
Starshine, starshine
Darling kiss me as I leave ~
Richie Havens is a master of bringing together rich melodies, powerful lyrics, pre-punk acoustic guitar and a touch of jazziness for a liberating aural experience. Combining Bob Dylan's lyrical skills with an earthy vocal prowess, Havens reaches near-orgasmic heights in each energetic composition. His 1967 outing "Mixed Bag", best exhibits the duality of Havens' playing: on the one hand, you have sunshine-filled jazzy folk such as "Morning, Morning"; on the other hand you've got electrically charged pieces such as "High Flying Bird." The high point of Havens' long career remains his electrifying performance at Woodstock, where he equaled the mighty roar of Hendrix's screaming Fender Stratocaster with his deep, growling vocals and vigorous, finger shredding acoustic guitar strumming.
