Whistled this song on my walk to work this morning. The purest of idealized love songs have the power to make me extremely melancholy lately.

Note: Mash-up melodies with Ronnie Milsap's I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World, which mingled with this song on the early-80s airwaves.
yeah... don't think i can bring myself to listen on the non... so sweet & true to itself... chills just hearing the memory of its sound.
ReplyDeleteReading about this song's affect on you put me in the mood to listen to Bread's "Everything I Own." Apparently David Gates wrote it about his father, and it makes me ache.
ReplyDelete@J- "chills just hearing the memory of its sound," and chills reading that lil description of your experience! Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteOh, Toad, I'm gonna start crying if I keep listening to that one! It's so great - a lost classic. The refrain reminds me of REO Speedwagon's Keep on Loving You which is so not as good. But I love how pop songs borrow melodies from each other.
