Because of the series finale of Brothers and Sisters, I found out about two wonderful songs. The first one is sung by the (emphasis on the) Sir Elton John, entitled Mona Lisas and Madhatters and the other one is from a band called Honey Honey, entitled L.A. River. Both songs are very good and relaxing. You should try to listen to it. :)
Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
by Sir Elton John
Now I know "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York city
Until you've seen these trash can dreams come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you, mm
While Mona Lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say "good morning" to the night
For unless they see the sky but they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark out side or light
This Broadway's got, its got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in, oh and
I go my way alone, grow my own
My own seeds shall be sown in New York city
Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found, oh
While Mona Lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say "good morning" to the night
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark out side or light
And now I know "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words to say, hmm
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York city
Until you've seen these trash can dreams come true and
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there's people out there like you, yeah
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you, oh
While Mona Lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say "good morning" to the night
Well unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
They know not if it's dark outside or light
L.A. River
by Honey Honey
Went down to the banks of the LA river
Had to hop a chain link fence
Concrete walls on the LA river
Water lapping up on the cement
Oh, but I love my new home
Listen to the big city sound
Watching that LA river roll down
By the trains past Chinatown
Dip my fingers in the warm black water
Raw red skin on my knees
Sail my boat down the LA river
Thought I saw a body in the weeds
Oh, but I love my new home
Listen to the big city sound
Watching that LA river roll down
By the trains past Chinatown
Oh, but I love my new home
Listen to the big city sound
Watching that LA river roll down
By the trains past Chinatown
