  5. I Can't Stop Lovin' You

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Does anybody remember a song that was popular in the late '60s or early '70s called "I Can't Stop Lovin' You"? It's not the same one by Ray Charles. This song was by a group called "Group Therapy" (I think that was who it was by, anyway). I only remember snatches of the song. The first line is "I can't stop lovin' you, no matter what I try to do". I never could understand the second line but the next line is "accompanied with-a sleepless nights". Then, it says "baby, I was wrong. Love you girl so long".

    I don't remember what the second verse says but the chorus says, "Listen to me. I need somebody. Listen to me. Somebody, help me. Somebody, please!" Something like that. Does anybody know the words to this song exactly? Did Group Therapy record this song? :help:

  11. Jim Morrison

    Jim Morrison -- a fascinating and mysterious man who left this world 33 years ago, but his legacy lives on!

    Some people see him as nothing more than a heavy drinking, self destructive wild child who was out of control, and well on his way to becoming a has been. In Jim's death, some people see him as an overrated musician and undeserving of the title "icon".

    Toward the end I think Jim probably wanted to be far more serious than what his audience would let him be, but it was his own antics that created a standard for what people wanted and expected of him. While he probably knew this, he couldn't go back and change things he'd done, and he couldn't control things he continued to do -- so he gave up.

    I honestly believe there was far more to Jim than what he projected outwardly, but on such a complex level that even he didn't truly understand it, much less know how to deal with it.

    In another thread I posted that "Jim lived too fast in a time that he was way ahead of, and he died in a time that passed way too fast"...or something to that effect.

    Jim once said, "I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps, "Oh look at that!" Then whoosh, I'm gone, and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me...ever."

    As I've said before...prophetic.

    :guitar: Some people might think I'm crazy and I wouldn't have admitted it at the time, but I was in LOVE with Jim Morrison! I was VERY sad the day he died and to think I bought The Doors last album, L.A. Woman, the day he died. Nobody knew about Jim's death until a week later. Those who loved him and knew him well wanted to wait a few days because they wanted to avoid the circuslike atmosphere that surrounded Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin's death.
