John's thoughts during the bridge/solo of 'Bold as Love'
Alright, So check it out right,
I've tried every approach to life, and I've tried it all. I haven't tried everything, but i've tried every approach. Sometimes you have to try everything but the approach is the same...but
I've tried it all, I've bought a bunch of stuff and went "Nahhhh I don't like that." I kinda came in and out of that a couple of times.
Thought i would shut myself off,thought maybe that's cool... maybe that's what you have to do to be a genius; you have to be mad. So if you get mad before the word genius, then maybe you could make Genius appear.
Right?
That doesn't work either.
And I'm, I'm in a good place, Paced myself pretty well at 30. I've seen some cool stuff, made a lot of stuff happen for myself. I made a lot of stuff happen, right? That's a really cool sentence when you're in your 20's. I mean, I made it happen for myself, right? But all that means is that I've somehow or other; found a way to synthesize love, synthesize soothing or, you can't get that.
And what I'm saying is that I've messed with all the approaches except for one.
And it's gonna sound really corny,
But that's just love, that's just LOVE.
I've done everything in my life that I wanna do,
except just give and feel love. For my living.
And i don't mean like, uhh Roman Candle Firework, Hollywood Hot Pink love,
I mean like, I-got-your-back-love.
I don't need to hear 'I Love You'
You guys love me, I love you; We got that down.
But some other people who would tell you that they love you, the same people who were the last to just have your back.
So I'm gonna experiment with this love thing-- giving love, feeling love...
I know it sounds really corny but it's the last thing i gotta check out.
Before I check out.
