Now Listening to... 🎧

ThrowbackThursday

Today's #ThrowbackThursday song is a really good one that came out in the 80s. I remember listening to this song with my Sony Walkman during field trip bus rides. Good times.

I was living for a dream Loving for a moment Taking on the world That was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever The search is over You were with me all the while ♪ ♫ ♪

#Survivor

In my opinion, this was one of the best songs to come out of the 90s. Still sounds great in 2022.

I stand before you accused of many crimes But I want to believe that love can still survive You don't have to say it, I don't have to read your mind To know that emptiness has finally arrived

How was I to know right from wrong Words were hardly spoken, so where did I go wrong?

Tell me honestly, if you're still loving me Looking into my eyes honestly ♪ ♫ ♪

Here's something from the 70s. A simple song with beautiful lyrics and melody. This song is almost 50 years old now, but it still sounds so good. A classic.

I need you like the flower needs the rain You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again You know I need you, I need you I need you like the winter needs the spring You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again You know I need you, I need you ♪ ♫ ♪

If I have it right, this song came out in 1976. That makes it a perfect #ThrowbackThursday track. Forty-five years later... still a really good song.

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me Ooohh no Baby please don't go And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me Ooohh no Baby please don't go Ooohh girl I just want you to stay ♪ ♫ ♪

Is it fair to say, that this was one of the best songs to come out in the 90s? This is still a very good song.

I see forever when I look in your eyes You're all I've ever wanted I always want you to be mine Let's make a promise to the end of time We'll always be together And our love will never die

So here we are face to face and heart to heart I want you to know we will never be apart Now I believe that wishes can come true 'Cause when I see my whole world I see only you

When I look into your eyes I can see how much I love you And it makes me realize When I look into your eyes I see all my dreams come true When I look into your eyes ♪ ♫ ♪

Today's #ThrowbackThursday track is this good one from Billy Joel. I believe Westlife did a cover of this that became really popular. It's always good to listen to the original though.

#BillyJoel

It's Thursday, so here's a really good #ThrowbackThursday song to listen to.

Is it fair to say that this is what emo sounded like in the 80s? Okay, maybe not. But man, check out these lyrics...

Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart ♪ ♫ ♪

Let's do another #ThrowbackThursday piece. This song conjures up the scent of baby powder and hair gel. It brings back memories of waiting outside the gate of our house as a kid, waiting for a jeepney to pass by, so I can catch a ride to school.

Sometimes, if I'm early enough, I would even ride one that is driving away from school. It goes up a mountain, then loops back down and goes toward my school. It was a good way to pass the time.

The feel of the early morning breeze, this song blasting on the speakers, the excitement of meeting friends at school, those were good times.

#TheOutfield

Perfect song for #ThrowbackThursday. By the way, every time I hear this, I don't just remember my childhood, I also remember cruising around in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. 😀

And I meant every word I said When I said that I love you I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you Cause it's the only thing I wanna do I don't wanna sleep I just wanna keep on lovin' you ♪ ♫ ♪
