Found A Miracle. Bruce.

Link for Bruce Fans. Spent several hours relooking for this footage. I guess kinda fits with my sorrowful self at the moment. This time of year, this time of my life just so low.

Perhaps listening to this, waiting on a Miracle, will help me move on "Thru the Trees"?
 = = = = = = =
At some point I really should take a few screen shots of my computer "history file" it tracks my recent 'discovery' of Bruce. …from early spring thru my trip to connect with him. Geeze about 80% of the web pages I hit were BruceLand. I probably need to post this because I know quite a few of my BruceLand friends I met all over Europe really don't believe I only found Bruce just several months ago, Gad it is still just 9 months ago…yeah heard him in the movie, ..on Fire, you know the story.
  = = = = = === = = =
So here below is link to this special song, the version he does on the end of some DVD, Essential Bruce or hmmm it's a DVD? heck you other guys know this….I saw it before I left to Europe…then tried to describe it and find it for my new Bruce Friend = Regina N in Hamburg… tool a while back then, mid July. So just last night I was trying to share it with my good friend Diane in Seattle and looked for like 2 hours, amid internet connection probs, youtube acct lost playlists [didn't I save it to my Bruce Boss playlist??]  So there we are me describing this clip, about the rareness, the starkness, the darkness, amid the tears of awe, she can tell I think it is special…I remember the words floating along. = your strength, your strength, your faith, your face?, your love…so she pops up that is INTO THE FIRE.   I check setlist . fm, metro lyrics ..oh yeah oh yeah that's it May your Hope Give Us Hope, May your Love….yeah I think, repeating hauntingly ,,Bruce sorta in a corner, sparse.
So I search and search, cannot even find on my youtube channel…just not finding it …oh yeah lots of covers, posts with lyrics etc.  finally at almost 11pm i give up , missed my ice-cream, sorta did not notice dinner go by/in.
I get home…man on a mission. Go to bruce dot net…purse my history file even,,, when did I last or first see it?  hmmm so there on his album list, sure the Rising has it,,,was there some funny ad on at the end? Gad I must have the physical DVD upstairs somewhere,,,, but want to find on line.
  OF Course Bottom Line Coming  I click next album to Essential Bruce.  and there on song number 42 is what?? Yeah Countin' On A Miracle..  The penny drops, duh, Brogan from Seattle had lost it but now I am found….Miracle…check lyrics …oh yeah,,, whoops that was the song. 
 Quick look back to youtube and pop !! There it is.  Oh yeah I forgot I took me  about 1/2 hour to re sign into BTX forum, where you can still see my lame, frustrated request for info. hmm in fact there on BTX, it took me like 4 tries to recover my password ,,,maybe me eyes were getting slow, it is by now almost 1:00 am.
So sure enough I edit my posting to reflect my slow brain work…like I say there ..Oh Nevermind…

I realize this blog post is a lot of verbiage…perhaps for my own processing I suppose. But here are the lyrics…..First for Countin' on a Miracle.  And then a chorus from Into the Fire….see sorta of excusing my mistake, Hey there are some very similar words, repeats.  ..You all remember I always said " I am a late Bloomer, but a Quick Study." well maybe not as quick these days???

I may ask over on BTX or Greasy Lake about the history of this little amazing clip. I mean look at it. Is it not amazingly special? And quite odd really. He's in his pre show type every day  shirt.
Sorta back in the corner, hair slicked back or seems less?
He is just strumming along.
[remember I really don't know many of his songs and am a bit deaf anyway and certainly non-musical]
But I follow along his words ..he is playing with them, messing with them, not really the official order or repeats. ..sorta slurred into and through them. Skips some passages….it all works of course..but kinda different.
Then there is the camera work. I mean who was shooting that?.. Moving up so close shots, seems like inches from his face sort of milling around,, right up to the guitar. Gad it is even Black and White right? and edited from what footage? must have been several cameras right? quick shots from close then far right and back and forth.
DARLIN I WILL LIVE MY LIFE TO YOU….

Here full normal lyrics from bruce.net
Countin' on a Miracle

It's a fairytale so tragic 
There's no prince to break the spell 
I don't believe in the magic 
But for you I will, for you I will 
If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool 
Darlin' for you 

I'm countin' on a miracle 
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle 
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle 
To come through 

There ain't no storybook story 
There's no never-ending song 
Our happily ever after Darlin' 
Forever come and gone 
I'm movin' on 
If I'm gonna believe 
I'll put my faith 
Darlin' in you 

I'm countin' on a miracle 
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle 
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle 
To come through 

Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream 
With her lover's kiss on her lips 
Your kiss was taken from me 
Now all I have is this... 

Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith 
Your face, your face, your love, your love 
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life 

I'm runnin' through the forest 
With the wolf at my heels 
My king is lost at midnight 
When the tower bells peal 
We've got no fairytale ending 
In God's hands our fate is complete 
Your heaven's here in my heart 
Our love's this dust beneath my feet 
Just this dust beneath my feet 
If I'm gonna live 
I'll lift my life 
Darlin' to you 

I'm countin' on a miracle 
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle 
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle 
To come through

And Here is how I got confused because of these lyrics from Into The Fire. .. are these two songs related, yeah of course written by Bruce, but wonder what time frames, Rising era right?  Whoops of course Brog, just looked on net it is track 5 on Rising.  Guess I will go read some more…..quick study.

Here Into Fire= 
 May your strength give us strength

May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

Rule 2 -Try to be Creative by Not Trying

(Note: It being December I usually get quite low but am trying to list a few of my past creative projects or incidents....these are mostly just impromptu ideas that seem to come from somewhere else.)

 LIFE IS A CARNIVAL.... 10 plus years ago a deaf kids group wanted a Saturday Carnival , you know with balloons,  perhaps a clown, some arcade games like bean bag toss, catching little toys in a fake swimming pool. Most parents brought darts, mini bowling.

My friend Willie and I created barracde wall out of cardboard to stand "protected" behind. We would polk our heads over the wall or out the little hatch doors....nah na nah na Bet You can't get ME!

  Now for two tickets a kid could 3 or 4 little FLOUR BOMBS= flour wrapped in cheese cloth and rubber band.  Really mom we tried to wear safety glasses so as to not get flour in our eyes....ok it did kinda go in your mouth.... As you can guess and see in a few minutes it was pretty out of control, the ticket system forgotten, the kids all over....running the booth....flour on the ceiling, bowling abandoned, screams and direct hits ruled.

Here is the early on shot, still slight control....

Note clock time is 11:20. That is little Sam below and BT and Willie....GET THEM!

Now look just just an hour and half later. The adults have been replaced or captured...the kids launch double flour bombs OUT FROM THE CASTLE.....I think we got a few into the crepe paper fish pond next booth over.  Some other parents were kinda glad we had set up over in that far corner.....although they kinda noticed most of the kids were there too.....

Here is one more picture where I always like to point out in my videos COSTUMES BY-BLAME MY MOM. Of course what I mean by this is she gets the credit for many of my antics, she and Dad too...I suppose she would say they just put up with me, but I figure there is some Gene Pool component too, so thanks Mom and Dad.

We had flour floor.   

The other idea was kinda combo blame my mom and myself....i mean credit...well depending.

I do have pictures somewhere of this but names have been changed to protect the families....

                FEED BROGAN BOOTH.              

Mom cooked up a big pan of instant mashed potatoes and a pretty ample bowl of peas. We set those out on a small table. I was right behind a cardboard wall with cut outs for head and arms....you know like one of those stockade things. With my hands free I could use sign language

I AM HUNGRY ..PLEASE FEED ME!

For 2 tickets a kid could have a big soup spoon and feed me. Yum yum. You can guess.......food fight....lucky I wore my safety glasses, THOSE PEAS ARE STILL HOT!

Again the other parents kinda wondered about all the mayhem....lucky we had put down another tarp in our corner so we were done  cleaning up by dark.....may have missed a few peas in those light fixtures....
