Als de 14-jarige Marion Bloem (1952) Artis bezoekt, wordt ze aangesproken door een Engelssprekende ‘rare oude man’. Het blijkt songwriter Graham Nash te zijn, op dat moment bandlid van The Hollies. Hoewel Bloem zelf meer oog heeft voor de gorilla’s, werd het toch een mooie anekdote. Die later nog een staartje krijgt. Voor Zin zet ze alles op papier. Lees haar verhaal in Zin 13 -2016
Marion Bloem verwijst naar de songtekst van This path tonight. Hieronder staat de songtekst en een geluidsfragment:
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
In my waking days of wonder
All my ways of wrong and right
Without my dreams of clouds and thunder
I wander down this path tonight
All these dangers of destruction
Fill my breath with life and light
I drink it deep and think about us
On this path tonight
This path tonight
Where will it lead me?
Crumbling rock and stones on fire
This path tonight
You better believe it
I’m stumbling to my heart’s desire
On this path tonight
I try to question all the answers
Try to answer all that’s asked
I try my best to be myself
But wonder who’s behind this mask
I’ll take care of all my problems
Comfort in my soul’s delight
I may not know just where I’m going
But I’m on this path
This path tonight
Where will it lead me?
Crumbling rock and stones on fire
This path tonight
You better believe it
I’m stumbling to my heart’s desire
On this path tonight
What will I do with all these feelings?
Will my heart behave tonight?
This time is not like any other
Will I flee, or will I fight?
No one knows just how I’m dealing
With this heart that’s not for hire
It’s got me rocking, got me reeling
And I feel like I’m on fire
This path tonight
Where will it lead me?
Crumbling rock and stones on fire
This path tonight
You better believe it
I’m stumbling to my heart’s desire
On this path tonight
Where will it lead me?
Crumbling rock and stones on fire
This path tonight
Well, you better believe it
I’m stumbling to my heart’s desire
On this path tonight
This path tonight
On this path tonight
Yeah
Where are we going?
Where are we going?
Down this path tonight
Down this path tonight
Down this path tonight
