Captured by the Moment

[arden]

I found this topic at another site. I never really noticed before all the people that Steve is paying tribute to in this song...people who died young and tragically.

Captured by the Moment

Where did he go
The man who said "I have a dream"

Martin Luther King

Where have they gone
The four who sang to "Let It Be"

The Beatles...John Lennon...and now, George Harrison

Jackie's alone
She lost him one November day

John F Kennedy

L.A. Motel
One sad mistake took Sam away

Sam Cooke

Oh, remember then
Remember when

Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away

Sweet Janis cried
"Lord won't you buy a Benz for me"

Janis Joplin

Jimi was right
Castles made of sand slip to the sea

Jimi Hendrix

Oh, remember then
Remember when

Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh in the magic of a yesterday

(guitar solo)

Otis replied
A little tenderness we gotta try

Otis Redding

One open door
He tried to set the night on fire

The Doors- Jim Morrison

Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh, in the magic of a yesterday
Oh whoa whoa

I remember a long time ago - probably back when the album first came out - an article I read that broke that song down. I love this kinda stuff. Thanks for sharing that now.
Anyone remember reading something similiar for "Suzanne"? I know I did but I can't remember the whole story behind the song.

I like that song myself (captured by the moment) AND I like Suzanne too, who knows the story behind the song Suzanne out here? The song was written by Cain and Perry so it could be for someone in one of their lives?

I remember someone asking Steve about "Suzanne" in an interview a long time ago. He said it was based on a real person but he'd promised not to reveal any details - he didn't say but I seem to remember I had the impression it was one of the Journey guys.

One of the Journey guys' relationship, I mean. LOL. Or who knows, maybe Jon dressed in drag and called himself Suzanne... ;D

I thought I read that about the song Donna, Please. ?

Oh, maybe that was the one I was thinking of. Makes more sense doesn't it?

Suzanne was about Tane McClure= jon's exwife. who is now remarried and has a child(girl). Tane turned into a soft porn actress. (doesnt show everything). Shes been in some videos- country "shouldnt have kissed me like that" i think is one by Toby Keith i think it is. And in movies as such as Legally Blonde(and part 2)- as Elle's mom.
