Alameda Street, 1930

One of the best shots I've seen of Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles.  

Alameda Street, 1930, looking south I presume.  Thanks again to Historic Los Angeles.  This is literally the shipping corridor from Long Beach to the valleys north and every town in between.  Dad used to take us to Alameda Street to pick up trees fresh off the trains, packed in ice, for Christmas.  And while waiting line or waiting for the men to wrap the tree or tag it, he loved going to the food truck and getting a coffee and hot-dog at 5:30am.  

North Broadway Bridge, 1924.

1924, North Broadway Bridge.  Thank you to Historic Los Angeles.  Fernie Reyes says that this shot is looking east toward Lincoln Heights.  

1937, North Broadway Bridge from the entrance to Elysian Park, Los Angeles, 1937.  Thank you again to Historic Los Angeles.  Jose Flores writes, "Lincoln Heights into Chinatown."

The heartbreak is sometimes just too much.

Lyrics to David Gray's "Sail Away," 1998.  Gray wrote the song himself.

[Chorus]
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be, will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

[Verse 1]
Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh, all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling, if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head

[Chorus]
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

[Verse 2]
I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?

[Chorus]
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
You break me up if you pull me down
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

David Gray's [Whistling Outro] "Please Forgive Me," 1999, is a decent song, with playful and funny lyrics.

Ren Eryn Gill is the Welsh artist's name.

Canadian singer-songwriter, Loreena McKennitt.

The Best Brass Rock Song from the 70s, 1970 to be exact, "Vehicle" by The Ides of March

And Sammy Davis, Jr., singing "Vehicle" in 1972.  Davis was the original black singer, performer, and acting maven before singer, songwriter, Prince.  Sammy could do it all.  What a remarkable talent.
