'It's blowing peace and freedom, it's blowing you and me!' Print

As I travel down the back roads Of this home I love so much Every carpenter and cowboy, Every lame man on a crutch They're all talking bout this feeling Bout a taste that's in the air They're all talking bout this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality From a lighthouse in Bar Harbor To a bridge called Golden Gates From a trawler down in Shreveport To the shore of one Great Lake There's a star on the horizon And it's burning like a flare Its lighting up this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality When the blind man sees the picture When the deaf man hears the word When the fisherman stops fishing When the hunter spares the herd We'll still hear the wondrous story Of a world where people care The story of this mighty wind That's blowing everywhere Oh a mighty winds a blowing It's kicking up the sand It's blowing out a message To every woman, child and man Yes a mighty winds a blowing Cross the land and cross the sea It's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing equality Yes it's blowing peace and freedom It's blowing you and me! ‘A Might Wind’ by The Folksmen, Mitch & Mickey, The New Main Street Singers Songwriters: Michael John Mckean / Harry Shearer A Mighty Wind is a 2003 American mockumentary comedy film about a folk music reunion concert in which three folk bands reunite for a television performance for the first time in decades. The film was co-written (with Eugene Levy), directed, and composed by Christopher Guest. The film is widely acknowledged to reference folk music producer Harold Leventhal as the inspiration for the character of Irving Steinbloom. More broadly, the film parodies the American folk music revival of the early 1960s and its personalities. Guest co-stars and reunites many of his company of actors from This Is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, and Best in Show for this film. They include Eugene Levy (who also co-wrote the screenplay), Catherine O'Hara, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr., Jennifer Coolidge, John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch and Parker Posey.
