Before you go to sleep
And close your eyes
I'd like to kiss you
One more time
Touch your lips
Perhaps your soul
I'll be still and say no more
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Well the night was sweet
You filled the air
Your gentle hands touched me everywhere
I don't want this moment to end
I'm afraid that we can't find it again
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
The fragile bond
Between us here
Would take to build, a thousand years
Before you close your eyes
Just one more kiss
A million years before we feel like this
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
How can I trust my feelings
In a moment that's always changing
Tell me do you feel the same way I do
The same way I do
Hey do you feel
Yea do you feel
Hey do you feel
The same way I do
And close your eyes
I'd like to kiss you
One more time
Touch your lips
Perhaps your soul
I'll be still and say no more
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Well the night was sweet
You filled the air
Your gentle hands touched me everywhere
I don't want this moment to end
I'm afraid that we can't find it again
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
The fragile bond
Between us here
Would take to build, a thousand years
Before you close your eyes
Just one more kiss
A million years before we feel like this
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
Oh tell me do you feel the same way I do
How can I trust my feelings
In a moment that's always changing
Tell me do you feel the same way I do
The same way I do
Hey do you feel
Yea do you feel
Hey do you feel
The same way I do

Heard him interviewed on NPR. His voice is trashed after his heart attack and years of smoking.

That's it exactly. Except for the "good part." Faux Springsteen.
I dunno, I've tried to like Mellencamp, but there are artists who do this sound with so much more conviction and soul.
This isn't bad ... but it doesn't feel like the "real" article, more a very good facsimile.
I just don't believe it, it's almost there, but falls short.
Really hard to put a finger on it - and sure, totally an opinion.
But you know what, it's still good, just not amazing.

No.
I don't I know, John just never gets the respect he deserves as a songwriter. Go figure....

That sounds about right.
He recently said of his breakup with Meg Ryan: “I loved Meg Ryan. She hates me to death.” “I think it’s because I’m a child. I throw fits, I gripe, I complain. I’m moody. Every bad thing that a fella can be, that’s me.”
So he probably is all of those things. However, none of that changes the artistry of his music. It might even inform it.
And so qwhat is her problem - he's just a normal guy /

Yeah, but I think his music is getting better. He still plays good RnR. He's got quite a legacy of pretty good albums. His live shows are good.
He's the epitome of the "hippie-redneck" music genre. I think you gotta be from the midwest to get it.

Caught a TV interview that Sammy Hagar did with John. Mr. Mellencamp came across as a crotchety, old, angry SOB.

I just read the Allmusic review in this LP, Here is an excerpt.
" This may not be a record that brings chart success, or even critical acclaim, but it does find Mellencamp at a kind of peak, turning out vividly socially conscious roots rock that works not because of the message, but because the music is seductive and sinewy enough to deliver the message. The grooves and riffs are earthy, so much so that when Chuck D drops a rap at the bridge in the title track, it seems natural, not forced; similarly, India.Arie's presence on "Peaceful World" enhances the plea for understanding at the core of the album, instead of distracting from it, and it feels as right as Trisha Yearwood's duet on "Deep Blue Heart." Ultimately, this is a record of small, subtle triumphs, but they are triumphs all the same, finding Mellencamp crafting music that's earthy yet succeeds because of the small details. It's a laid-back record — even when it rocks hard, it rocks like a bunch of guys having fun on a back porch on a Saturday afternoon — but that's its charm, since it's natural, real, and unassuming...."

Drive you crazy. Don't ever assume that everyone else has your issues and, even if they did, they probably wouldn't cry about them twice in the same thread.
Not bad. Not great. It's not the 2,678th FM replay of Little Pink Houses, a song to drive us crazy.

Not usually a Mellencamp fan, but I'm liking this one.

Good tune. Great slide guitar!

Liking this a lot. Good addition to RP.

It's not great, but it's good and it anytime sure beats the hell out of the vastly overplayed dreck of Little Pink Houses or that little ditty about Jack and Diane. And a reprieve from his thump thump thump drummer.
I like this, and will have to check out other recent stuff. Mellencamp seems like one of the rare pop artists who gets better, and changes, as he ages.
First impression: I like the slide guitar.
Simple, elegant song that slowly builds.
Nothing fancy, just a well written song.
...hmmm. I was bored. I didn\'t hear the song. But, I decided to read the comments. I read the comments. I searched out the lyrics. It\'s a simple but deep love song. Play it again, Bill :roll:
Very John....slinky....
To poop on!
has a good groove, sounds good - gave it a 10 because it was dipping below decent (which is what I would give this song)
This song is actually okay!
