A slightly different version of a tune I became aware of around the time my Army Guard unit was getting ready for our 2004 deployment to northern Iraq I ended up putting on the “playlist” for our pirate radio station that year.

You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarns
You know the way
It leaves you dry
It Cuts You Up
And takes you high
You know the way
It's painted gold
Is it honey
Is it gold

Got some reading in on deck accompanied by a lovely 1988 performance of Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E Minor. Now, time to switch gears with the current ear worm also from 1988.

#Kick
I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
But none have your beauty
I see your face
I will survive
Mystify
Mystify me (yeah)
Mystify
Mystify me
A change of pace musically on deck as unexpected rain popped up and I had to set up my umbrella which brought this to mind.

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella

Man, I gotta kick it up a notch out here; it’s one of the ways I cope with the bullshit.

#PowerUp
Feel in the rock 'n' roll mood
Gonna make it feel good
Might be a little dangerous
I believe, I believe, you will see, it could be
Contagious
Mark Knopfler had the Shakespeare tale in mind when writing this but I discovered today he also was writing about a relationship he once had with a young lady in the years before Dire Straits hit the big time.

A lovestruck Romeo
He sang the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
Another favorite from REM; their early material was really quite good, in this former radio disc jockey’s humble opinion anyway. 😉

#Reckoning
Did you never call?
I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend
The cities wash away
The city on the river
There is a girl without a dream
