Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Our heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair²

Hearts are achin’, feelin’ like screamin’
The music’s fleein’ this old cold world

Bells should be ringing this sad, sad news³

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

While Death carries another legend away 

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Lent to us we forgot, now lifted high

Frey-man took flight to join heaven’s band

Soaring with a billion stars all around¹

The music shimmers in every star we see

Gives him wings to climb high and far

Nothing made him turn around and stay⁴

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Frey-man gave us the best of his music⁵

Singin’ the vict’ry song, he’s already gone⁸

And we just can’t hide our cryin’ eyes⁶

We’ll dance to remember, Won’t ever forget⁷

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

As Death carries another legend away

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

they come in threes, and there have been such a bunch of celebrities lately...perhaps there will be another rocker?

so sad, they were so young...and gave us so much great music---this is a really excellent poem of tribute to both frey and bowie...they are both soaring above, now.

Great tribute...you"re an amazing writer and this was brilliant... Now I am straving to listen him!

Thank you so much. There are several of the Eagles’ full albums on YouTube. You don’t even have to leave your screen to listen.

[A. Amos]

Thanks Mona...

[MomzillaNC]

Sorry Denise...

[hardeep sabharwal]

This is just brilliant, an excellent tribute

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. :D

[Rita L. Sev]

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives... So true - too many gone all at once. This is a perfect tribute, an homage to the lyrics that stay with us, even when the artist is gone...

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks so much, Rita.

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T
Another masterpiece.

Such a great tribute to such a great star in time. So sad and will be sadly missed indeed.

thank you for this one:)

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Perhaps he is up there teaching the angels new songs to sing. Lovely read

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. :D

[A. H. Pinley]

This would make a great song!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I’d love to have it set to music. Hopefully, my son can do that when he’s far enough along in music theory on the guitar.

[Tate Morgan]

Dont you just ache every time one of them passes away. I want to scream "Hey bands that I grew up with STOP DYING"!

[MomzillaNC]

I know just how you feel. But, there must be one rockin’ party in heaven now!

[Tate Morgan]

lol well maybe but i liked them here and want them tp quit dying on me

[MomzillaNC]

Me too. Thanks for reading this one.

[Einstein Noodle]

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. And, it is a lyric; I’d love to have it set to music. Maybe someday when my son is far enough along in music theory and guitar lessons…

[Einstein Noodle]

now that is a very worthwhile future project. one of those things to treasure!

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. :)

[Jennie Baron]

Excellent way to work in the song lyrics, and the repetition gives this a powerful rhythm. I'm sure he'd love this tribute. Also, great choice of pictures to accompany your words.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I’d love to see this set to music, but don’t hold out much hope of that ever happening.

[MomzillaNC]

Have you written anything new you haven’t posted?

[Jennie Baron]

No new poetry. I'm improving my longer fiction work. Slow going without much guidance to keep it on the right track, but it's getting there.

[MomzillaNC]

Ah… I’m kind of in a similar position on my longer writing. I just don’t know where to go with the stories I’ve got in the works.
