Heart of Gold
61Watch it awake.
Reprise, under Warner. The search is not for a night. It is for a person who is good.
The review
Reprise released it. Warner holds Reprise. The record is a man who has crossed enough of the country to know what he is not going to find in a bar, and who has not talked himself into settling. That is a rarer pop sentence than it sounds.
Play it when someone young thinks the search should already be over, or when someone old is about to call the search naive.
Journal
Keep Heart of Gold in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 61. Yours can differ.
The glance
Republic is the thin one.
Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Stand by Me
73 instead of 61
Stand by Me is still a music song, and it scores 73 instead of 61. What you gain is courage: The fear is admitted.
The eight
- 7Industry
A harmonica, a simple chord, a life in it.
- 6Household
He wants someone good. The want has lasted long enough to humble him.
- 5Piety
A mine, a hope. Not quite a prayer, and not far from one.
- 6Courage
He keeps looking after the looking has made him old.
- 4Republic
A private search.
- 7Temperance
Weary, not greedy.
- 7Truth
He admits he is aging in the search.
- 7Stewardship
A song for the long want, not the quick one.
