that song is just there in my head - i am not a big fan - the other one
comes to my mind quick too, "some times, da-da-da-da-da, and you
find me creeping round your back door...."
being american and middle class, one year my family each got a clock
radio for our respective birthdays......1977 - 5th grade - the clock radio had
a "sleep" button on it meaning i could listen to radio for 30 minutes before sleeping
without anyone telling me to turn it off........this is the mental space of gordon
lightfoot, and now i am remembering a song i actually would like to hear.......
who was the artist ??
"when i neeeeeeeeeeed love, i hold out my hands and i tououuoouuouch love
never knew there was so muuuuuuuuuuch love keeping me warm night and
day, miles and miles of empty space lie between us, nothing can take the
place of your ?????"
it is a cheesy song, so i'm o.k. with being hated for liking it.....
i also have fond memories of the slow part of donna summer's "on the radio"
just the line "since we broke up last june"
i remember plugging in the radio at my grandparents house around
that time and listening to k.c. kacem
little did i know that far away in berlin at that same time two really
skinny guys called the bewlay brothers would be really high and making records
that were never top 40 but would obsess me later in life - i think they made
5-6 amazing records that year......
i am sober so i can say this: horray hashish !! horray heroin !! horray cocaine !!
thank god for the dentists who have restored iggy's and bowie's teeth !!
be well
- jack
