A Little Something To Think About...

Hi y'all,

So as you can see by my lack of de informal daily scoop, work and the last dregs of this cold thingy has me in a vice.  Hopefully all will digress come Sunday, when I get some kind of R&R to bring Monday Madness to you in all its glory.  Until then, seeing that I will not have time to bring the album of the week to you (yes, Toronto has been that busy), I decided to take a different approach that you will see now and then in the future.  A little reminder of how songwriting used to be, a celebration of lyrics past if you will.  This song is one of my favorites lyrically from the day I heard it in 1985.  Check it out...

How

How can it be

That a love

Carved out of caring

Fashioned by fate

Could suffer so hard

From the games

Played once too often

But making mistakes

Is a part 

Of life's imperfections

Born of the years

Is it so wrong

To be human after all

Drawn into the stream

Of undefined illusion

Those diamond dreams

They can't disguise the truth

(chorus) That there is something about you

Baby so right

I wouldn't be without you

Baby tonight

If ever our love

Was concealed

No one can say that 

We didn't feel

A million things

And a perfect dream of life

Gone

Fragile but free

We remain

Tender together

If not so in love

And it's not so wrong

Were only human after all

These changing years

They add to your confusion

Oh and you need to hear

The time that told the truth

They just don't make them like they used to (for the exception of a handful of course), thank you to Level 42 for that flashback in time and the jewel "Something About You".  Video to follow.  Also, check out Anthony David's version on his new release Acey Ducey, I just can't get enough of that dude and his album is on heavy rotation.  It has been for a long while now, so go get it - get on it!

See y'all on Monday with the madness, let me know your favorite song lyrics.  Have a great weekend...
