Who wants to bet Typepad puts a limit on characters allotted for post titles after this one?
I'm almost positive those of you who have been read the 80's Sunday Rewind for a while wouldn't take me for a closet Carly Simon fan, but then again, I'm full of surprises aren't I? There are a few Carly Simon songs that when I hear them stay with me for days, and it's one of those days. Not a bad day, but a sad day. We all have them, I'm no different from any of you.
The first song up is "Coming Around Again," which fits my life right now. Why? Let's go to the lyrics, shall we?
Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
You pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
You kiss the host goodbye
Then you break a window
Burn the souffle
Scream a lullaby
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart
And I believe in love
But what else can I do?
I'm so in love with you
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again
Apologies for the shitty video quality, but this is the only complete version of the video I could find.
So, that's the sad song for today. It fits. If you know me personally, you know. If not, just know everything's okay, just having a breaking windows, burning souffles, and screaming lullabies kind of day/week/month/year — whatever. That should suffice.
The next song is "Let The River Run," which is from the movie Working Girl, an 80's classic starring Melanie Griffith (pre-lip injections), Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, and Joan Cusack. This song is one of my favorites for some reason. It's hopeful. And this video has enough 80's fashion and hair for all of us and don't blame me if you see it and run out and buy frosted eyeshadow and jackets with shoulder pads — blame Carly. Oh, and am I crazy or is there something cool about a guitar solo by a guy in a trench and fedora on a ferry? Just me? Shut up.
