Zeptember 2, 2015: Over The Hills And Far Away

[men-ee]
adjective, more, most.
  1. constituting or forming a large number; numerous
  2. noting each one of a large number
noun
  1. a large or considerable number of persons or things
  1. the many, the greater part of humankind.
pronoun
  1. many persons or things

Many is the word that appears in Over The Hills and Far Away many times, and all in the adjective form (constituting or forming a large number).

I can relate to the author.  I realize that while these (love, being bitten, lied, listened, dreams) have happened many times, there is still many ahead of me too.   I'm hoping to see the open road., the good things ahead.

The song lends to that hope. In the studio version, 6- and 12-string guitar play together after the introduction, with tight bass guitar and percussion through the main part of the song.  As the song ends, the guitar fades and echoes,  trailing off and ending on an up-note. This version from Madison Square Garden doesn't have those elements; it's a live performance and I  love the synergy of the band as they create this magic.
