Rivers, Johnny - What's The Difference? Lyrics
Hey friend wake up. Can't you tell that you're sleepin
How far can you go with unopened eyes
treating your mind like it was something to play with
you're sleeping on a feather bed of lies.
You won't know yourself when you finally do.
You look into some mirror and wonder what you're looking at.
So what's the difference if you do.
I have shared your journey from the beauty of childhood
To uniforms of flowers that you wear like Sunday skies
Til you can't hear them when the soft words are sung to you.
you're sleeping on a feather bed of lies.
So what's the difference if you don't wake up.
You look into some mirror and wonder what you're looking at.
So what's the difference if you do.

Rivers, Johnny What's The Difference? Comments
Quando ouco essa linda cancao me volto aos meus 23 anos de idade
Lado b do compacto de scoth Mackenzie.. lado a era San Francisco
JR - the most diverse recording artist in history, Remember how many ;greats were dead at 25, here at 78> Dennis Wilson, ny favorirte t beach Boy- his pure vice extremely rare -because of smokes and drink , compare to JR, where I will die not having heardf= ahh his cuts
Johnny Rivers, TRULY TEAR-JERKING VOICE !
Realization was probably one of the finest albums ever recorded. Johnny Rivers could sing almost any song and make it better than most.
THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN!!!!!!
He is the best doctor of the healthy and wholesome healing in this mean world. Oh I drift around , but he mKES ME FEEL LIKE i HAVE BEEN TO A GRACEFUL, Church, no pretensions, we are all sinners. JR no doubt has grown into this role of TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY of keeping the nasty out of his music, and Dylan I believe felt it both being "brothers" with the crooning soulful vibe. No tricks. No gutter trash...... Both men refuse to be branded and provide such diversity, rearely disappointed, only good disciples. Lastly- Rivers Voice. Really listen to the minute' subtleties- almist like a song-bird in creole land lol.
I very much agree with you!
A sad song, deep and emotional feelings touchin' my young heart, fourty years ago...
beautiful song and beautiful
Johnny Rivers is the one performer who truly touches my soul , I love his music.
beautiful
Thank you Scott McKenzie for writing this song so our Brother Johnny could adapt it to be included with all the other "spiritual sounds" on that Masterpiece he named "Realization"
"Realization" and "Homegrown" are among Johnny's finest albums. Contemplative, searching....special! Thanks for posting these songs from Realization.
WOW I had forgotten how good this song was. I LOVE JOHNNY RIVERS, the most soothing voice EVER. LOVE THIS ALBUM
Linda esta canção, demais !!!!!!!!
Until I heard this forty years ago, I thought the only song Scott McKenzie wrote was San Francisco. This song is much better than that. It gets better as it gets older.
Scott McKenzie didn't write San Francisco John Philips of the Mamas and Papas wrote because Mama Cass said so when she introduced him and the song as the Monterey Pop Festival but i stlll love this song,Johnny Rivers and this whole album
Love this song!!!
That's me sleeping all the time!!!
Just so beautiful ! The whole album is great ! Takes me back to my days in Broadway Court 1975 & onwards when I learned to really "get INTO the music" ! How, you may ask... Just like brian Wilson of te Beach Boys advises.... put all the lights off, so as not to allow yourself to be distracted from the music, put headphones on & slip INTO the groove. Try it, you too may learn what "Getting INTO the music" is all about ! :D
Don't get to do that much anymore, but when I do this is one of the songs I take with me.
Deep lyrics, and that voice of Johnny's - beautiful song!
I love my music today's so much variety,But I just fold in two & weep to this Lp. Johnny has always made a sobering,humbling feeling inside. I was very Young ahead of my time to recognize music than my same aged peers. This is good & still works for me when I think I need to step back & account for my life did I live it the way I truly wanted? Todd
this is the REAL STUFF from such an amazing album !!
A very underrated Scott McKenzie tune...
