Always liked this song and it’s not that I’m directing it just a jab at  women. Really like the second verse and how the song takes an ironical twist, with its humor.  Probably the best song Ronnie Wood had a hand in..we get fooled a lot in life….
It leaves you ‘twinkling with the stars.’ It won’t be the first time and probably not the last. But I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger and stronger. This one goes out to UWE and I’m sure he knows why just like i. Here ‘back on earth again a lot more than dressing rooms turn grey.

Ooh La La
Song by the faces

Poor old Granddad, I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you when they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far to kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
Leaves you twinkling with the stars
Poor young grandson there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger

The smoke and ash left by a fast burning fire 🔥 has slowed me down over the years and there was a time I was in the presence of people that meditated so much it absorbed most my time. I was always drawn to the unusual types and those with psychic and spiritual abilities that supported my interests and experiences. So I’ve got mostly good things to say about them, even though at the time extinguishing a fire with cold water left me back at the quest for something with more lasting appeal.

It’s an interesting phenomena how some musicians can stir up excitement and personality into the mix and not necessarily have all the lasting melodic appeal that other musicians evoked. i see Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood in such a lite. Certainly personality gives appeal to music. Though from a young age also, more and more, I’ve even grown aware of how music can be used to express wisdom and lessons people have learned along the way. It is the unique ability of some artists to be able to reflect on life’s experiences and convey them back at the public in an expressive manner that makes you repeat their words and feelings in your head and heart 💜 that lives on and influences your life …. many decisions you make. In those cases viewing it all from someone else’s perspective really lives on making you a different person or at the very least enhancing your life with how rich experiences can be.

This material life is really a lot about experience and exploring experiences first hand. That’s why it is so dramatic to most of us. And sharing our experiences really helps us understand what it’s all about. I have found that Kriya Yoga gives us ‘ never a dull moment ‘  as it unravels a lot of personal factors with more speed that would otherwise lie dormant. We become more accustomed to a vast inner world that lies adjacent to all our outer experiences. Therefore it inspires practice. I appreciate your reflection - UWE - of your life’s telling a story. Every picture (of life ) tells an important story if we can just ‘see’ what that picture is really all about.
