Linda Ronstadt and Eagles – Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Linda Ronstadt and Eagles – Silver Threads and Golden Needles
No synthesizers, no auto-tune, just real instruments, real lyrics, true talent and real music.
Linda Ronstadt was the vocal gift that just kept giving. Cool , creative, deep musical chops. This is the easy stuff yet her voice is so honest, clear and unadorned. She lifted the best to their highest.
Lyrics:
I don’t want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room.
All I want’s the love you promised
Beneath the haloed moon.
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine.
You can’t buy my love with money
Cause I never was that kind.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
…
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine.
You can’t buy my love with money
Cause I never was that kind.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine.

Such memories from this song. I remember The Springfields doing this when I was a wee shaver. I was born in 1952.
