The nighty night jam and early morning “live” selection: always loved this Eddie Money tune from the first time I heard it in the summer of 1980 and gearing up for a relatively ho hum junior year in high school.

The silence on the ocean
Stopped the silence in my heart
She still sings to me softly
Through the night
And in the dark
By the wind
Sailed the water
She calls my name
To come on back to haunt me

One of those 80s tunes you don’t hear much anymore but I played it quite frequently at my second and third radio stations in the mid 80s into the early and mid 90s; always liked the message and the ramp was handy for the local weather forecast. 😉

#Shelter
Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes
Let me be your Shelter
Shelter
From a storm outside
Let me be your Shelter
Shelter
From the endless night
Just a couple hours ago, it was raining like a motherfucker. Now, out here on deck, it’s almost as if it never happened.

I found a picture of you
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now I'm back on the train, yeah
O-oh, Back On The Chain Gang
First heard this Joe Cocker rendition of a song written by Bryan Adams (who I believe played guitar on this) way back in 1989 when I watched the flick “An Innocent Man” starring Tom Selleck and the tune played as the end credits rolled. Good movie and a good song.

I just want to be the one you run to
I just want to be the one you come to
I just want to be there with someone
When The Night Comes
Was in the grocery store earlier and this gem popped on the muzak system; hadn’t heard it in awhile. Some pretty piano from Bruce.

#TheWayItIs
Everybody here's a number, not a name
But I guess it's all right with me
As I sit alone, after a long day
In the absence of company
Whoa, I let my mind wander
A thousand miles away hey hey
What I wouldn't give for only one night
A little relief in sight
Someday when times weren't so tight
Just might be among my favorites from JCM and somewhat appropriate on the eve of what would be my late oldest boy’s 40th birthday. Getting a little chilly out here. S’pose I should some pants on. 😁

Days turn to minutes
And Minutes To Memories
Life sweeps away the dreams
That we have planned
You are young and you are the future
So suck it up and tough it out
And be the best you can
The evening’s sunset shot from on deck; as fucked up as things are in this world, there’s just something about a nice sunset. And some good tuneage.

So long ago
It's a certain time
It's a certain place
You touched my hand and you smiled
All the way back you held out your hand
If I hope and if I pray
Ooh it might work out someday
Speaking of a kickass guitar solo.

I took it all for granted
How was I know
That you’d be letting go?
I was never a “Dead head” but here’s one on deck for those who are in the fediverse.

The shoe is on the hand, it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
'Cause it's alright
One of those lost 80s classics from Ric Ocasek of The Cars with a kickass guitar solo.

If you want to talk about it
I got the time
When you're looking so enchanted
You cover my mind
If you think I'll wait forever
Oh maybe you're right
There's no such thing as now or never
There's only twilight
