COOL CHANGE
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
The Little River Band
1979
What a great song that was. I loved the Little River Band and I don't care who knows it! Alrighty, I'm coming clean......... I love soft 70's rock!
Okay there , I said it, it's out of the closet!
You can all scream, cry, say you can't believe I turned out this away, call the men in the little white coats or whatever! The Carpenters rock man! That's right, I said The Carpenters ROCK!
70's soft rock was the music that pulled me in, tied me up and molded itself around my little soul. I remember listening to Hall & Oates " She's Gone", Simon & Garfunkle "Sounds Of Silence" and the likes of Dan Folgerberg, "Longer" & Auld Lang Syne". This was the music that touched me whan I was 10. Sure I had Merle Haggard, Charly Pride and Conway Twitty records that I'd play on my little blue turntable, but give me a Barry Manilow song like "Mandy" and I was in my special place.
You'll never think the same of me will you?
You'll be alright, trust me on this.... Just listen to " Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkle and I promise, you won't care what color your underwear is?
Yes, yes, yes I still love my country & classic rock, but the sounds of the 70's will always be my Cool Change.
