This song is now more than 20 years old, so in my opinion it qualifies as a #ThrowbackThursday track. This song has aged well. It still sounds great. But it does hit different now, knowing that the Chester (their vocalist) lost his battle to depression and anxiety. Makes you really appreciate the lyrics in this song, and all their other songs for that matter.
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
...
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me...
Back to the 70s with this wonderful #ThrowbackThursday song from Bread. Gotta say, those lyrics are pretty good too. Maybe this is what emo was in the 70s haha.
Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left, I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay
I wander through the night
And search the world to find the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see
That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real
And someday soon, I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break ♪ ♫ ♪
Back to the 90s with today's #ThrowbackThursday track from Rockstar. What I love the most about this song are the chord changes. This is not a song you can easily figure out the chords to, just by ear. They don't make songs like this anymore.
I don't wanna lose you
Girl, I need you back to me
I don't wanna lose you
Baby, can't you see?
Oh, I need you
You've been a part of me
I wish someday, you'll be back home
'Cause I really miss you, darling
Please come home ♪ ♫ ♪
It's that day of the week. For today's #ThrowbackThursday track, we're back to the 70s with this classic from Dan Hill.
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides ♪ ♫ ♪
Back to the 70s for today's #ThrowbackThursday track. Lovely song from Bread. Has that beautiful chord progression characteristic of songs from the 70s and 80s. It's something that you don't normally hear in today's songs.
I've been spending way too much time in the 70s. So, for today's #ThrowbackThursday song, we're not going that far back — just to the end of the 90s this time around. Here is a really good song from the band Lonestar.
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thin' that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you ♪ ♫ ♪
