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 ♪ ♫ ♪
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.
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.
