Easy To Be Hard (Windows)

I´m in the process of creating a series of images entitled “Windows”; then this image came up, almost by itself. It reminded me of one of my all time favorite songs: Easy To Be Hard, from “Hair”, the 60s legendary rock musical. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you´ll realize that the world hasn´t changed too much since then.
Here´s the link to this song, performed by one of my favorite pop/rock groups: Three Dog Night.
Easy To Be Hard
There´s an outstanding version of this song by 3DogNight with the London Symphony Orchestra but I´ll keep this reference for another tribute to this Group. Cause, let me tell´ya Eli´s Coming…

Easy To Be Hard ( lyrics)

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I’m hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

    Well done again my friend!!!!

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    Hi, Michael; you´re rocking the house with the Argona series; thanks for commenting, my friend.

    I look forward to your series on windows, I always like the window concept and this a great beginning, Easy to be hard is a great SONG, have you heard the original from the broadway musical HAIR.

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    Yes, Larry, I´m inmersed in this new series. How I came here? Don´t ask me why.
    The problem is that I first heard this song performed by 3DogNight and I inmediately felt in love with it. It was much later that I heard the complete Hair soundtrack by the original Broadway cast, and it doesn´t moved me as the previous version. Thanks, friend for your nice words.

  • Arletta

    Arletta

    Yep, that is one of my favorite songs, too; though, I prefer the version of the lady singing it from the album for the movie. It’s good either way, just something about the range of emotion in her voice really gets me.

    This is a very cool piece and goes quite well with the song, I must say!

  • Danilo Lejardi replied

    Yes, I think it depends on how our perception works in a specific moment. Thanks a lot for your kind words; I really appreciate it.
