Has Anyone Else ever really paid attention to this Van Halen song?

[jsb_swampfox]

Years ago when I first heard this song(Love Comes Walking In) I had always thought the lyrics were odd. But being the Van Halen fan I am, I still loved it. I just heard the song again on an oldies rock station and Bam....the lyrics make perfect sence now. It gave goose bumps this time and I have heard this song many, many times...lol I know it is of no relevence but still very interesting to me, I wonder who Sammy really is?

Van Halen - Love Walks In

Lyrics:

Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact. Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Questions deep within your eyes
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Now more than ever, you realize
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Silver lights shinin' down
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

(Guitar Solo)

Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Where silence speaks as loud as war
(Ooo-ooo-ooo)
Earth returns to what it was before
(Ooo-ooo)

And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in

(Guitar Solo)

Love comes walkin' in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in, yeah!
Huh-uh! Ye-ah, oh-oh oh

People who write music (myself included) often tap into something else to do so. A stream of conciousness if you will. It's timeless, and its one of the closest things to a trance state that I've been in.

Some music that hits the mainstream is also constructed blatantly for a purpose - I recommend checking out "The Music Industry Exposed" series of video's on Youtube. I believe someone started a thread about it on here a while back too actually (do a search of the forum and you'll find it).

I wonder if the the "Roth" in David Lee Roth stands for "Rothschild?"

On a separate but similar note, have you ever listened to Megadeth at all? The entire song "Hangar 18" is about seeing the remnants of a crashed UFO and being hunted down by the gov't for it. His newest album is almost entirely about FEMA camp's and depopulation. They seem to go deeper down the rabbit hole with each new album.

I think Sammy is a cool tequila drinking guy from California. I have to say when you look at the amount of chaos that band went through (most of it due to drugs and huge egos) it would appear to me that love walked in and right back out the door again...lol. Seriously though...I never thought of the use of the word "alien" in that song meaning anything different the "strange" or "unusual"...but hey who knows Sammy spent alot of time in Northern Cali which has alot of ufo activity. If you folks are interested in a band that appears to have a pretty deep understanding of the esoteric such as sacred geometry and alien encounters you may wish to check out Tool. One song in particular called lateralus....its written using the Fibronicci sequence and seems to have layers of depth to it that are pretty amazing.

[jsb_swampfox]

I have heard that MegaDeath song, for some reason I am not as suprised coming from them. But this seemed a bit "off Topic" for Van Halen a more conservitive classic type rock. Anyway, I can see the analogies of a new consiousness and awareness, "Questions deep within your eyes"...I have read a thread on here about staring into a mirror long enough without blinking will let you see your past lives? there is a reference in one of the "charle's answers, something about the femine key....I think, in the song' "Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown", anyway, if you pick it apart, the words are more relevant now more than any other time.
I will check out the band "Tool". Thanks to all!

Count me in that group as well, I have to totally agree there is another place that writers tap into when creating, it is absolute and magical. A place you don't want to leave! As for Sammy, he knows! I'm sure of it as are most (if not all) musicians that are in it for the music instead of the fame. Dave Mustain's lyrics are based on deep subjects (one of the reasons I like Megadeth) all though the music isn't for everyone. :)

[EC1000]

hmm. very interesting. I've always thought that the great thing about lyrics, poetry, story writing, etc. is that they can be interperted in a lot of different ways to allow for a lot people to take a lot of different meanings from the same words. Having said that, i think Sammy does have an interest in ETs, i seem to remember a pic of him playing a les paul guitar that had a drawing of a grey's head on it.

[JoshERTW]

Tool is awesome - didn't know Lateralus was based on fibonnaci, will have to give it another listen.

[Whiskey_Mystic]

Give some thought to the Van Halen song "Right Now" as well. When it first got airplay, I was happily surprised that this basic foundational spiritual teaching was going out to the masses.

[wegge]

Tool have also a collaboration with Alex Grey visionary artist who creates album covers (with special effects) for them, just for those of you who like their covers and didn´t know^^

I agree - and it is also true for most creative endeavors as well.

Thank you for reminding me that song. It is still beautiful song listening it even after so many years! I´d like to say when I heard that song for first time I did not understand English at all, guys, not even single word. Of course, apart from classical "thanx!" or "Hello". Today, when I learnt some English, it is really fun actually to enjoy the song with understanding of lyrics. It feels really great. Exposing the lyrics to Avalon Forum subjects the song receives also a quite meaning. I was a teenager when I got that Van Halen long play. I bought it at a black market which was organized spontaneously by musical enthusiast in a local brewery´s gazebo at my home town always early Sundays morning. Those lads traded among themselves illegally imported music or music which was officially forbidden by authorities.. There was hard censorship by the ruling party in my country that time. Music shops offered only approved, politically accepted music (one of Ex-communist country). All forms of alternative music, rock included, was under scrutiny by vigilant censors. Our local artists or bands were very often restricted to perform for whatever kind of reasons. From time to time Police arrived at that place and chased us around. Sometimes it was fun for us, teenage boys, that age we didn´t think about consequences. For older guys it was not so funny... The LPs, tapes, magazine were, of course, seized by Police as an illegal items. As you can see even for being a fan or performer of music you could have been criminalized in some part of the world. Fortunately, that time is gone. When the iron curtain was taken down we stopped deviding world on the East and the West it was liberating, indeed. When I explain such story to my son who turns 18, he can not understand, and I am glad of that he can not. It means that such a wall does not exist any more. He can enjoy whatever culture, song, band, musicians or lyrics as he wants, decides or he wishes. I believe, here at this Forum, we also help to take down some of those still existing walls which surrounds us because as we know there still some, though one less.. Anyway, as I said, this is surely a great song! Thanx Sammy.:cool:

[Lifebringer]

Nice lyrics and so visionary from way back when. Makes you wonder what he took to get that close to describe it. Wasn't he on halucogens?

The say pot is milder and more relaxing to meditate. I find it is.

[Milan]

Haha funny thing.. not even extraterrestrial visitors with superior knowledge could make Sammy Hagar tolerable. It's a real shame they didn't use all of that energy on working to convince David Lee Roth to stay in the band :P

[Northern Boy]

Well there are many songs that we have never paid attention to here us another

Well we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
Fnd we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

[CHORUS]

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
and it's all right, baby, it's all right

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
We're on a road to nowhere

[Northern Boy]

Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunsh ine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

I went walking in the wasted city
Started thinking about entropy
Smelled the wind from the ruined river
Went home to watch TV

And it's worse when I try to remember
When I think about then and now
I'd rather see it on the news at eleven
Sit back, and watch it run straight down

Run straight down
Run straight down
I can see it with my eyes closed
Run straight down

We've been living in the shadows all our lives
Where it's stand in line and don't look back and don't look left and don't look right
So we hide our eyes and wonder who'll survive
Waiting for the night...

Fluorocarbons in the ozone layer
First the water and the wildlife go
Pretty soon there's not a creature stirring
'Cept the robots at the dynamo

And it's worse when I try to remember
When I think about then and now
I'd rather see it on the news at eleven
Sit back, and watch it run straight down

Run straight down
Run straight down
I can see it with my eyes closed
Run straight down
