Music for Products of the Seventies - Part 2

This is a semi-regular feature here. Too many POTS are stuck in the seventies, musically speaking. This is an attempt to show some newer music that would appeal to us POTS.



Paul Thorn is an incredible songwriter. He's not well known, but is highly respected. He's part folk singer, part country, part blues, part rock. The one thing you don't want to do is pigeonhole him, he'll prove you wrong every time. Here is a song he recorded back in 1999, on an album called Ain't Love Strange.

Where Was I

On a black and white TV, back in grammar school
I was watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon
That same day I pretended I was an astronaut
On the playground monkey bars, I flew above the stars

I was in a Dallas disco the night John Lennon died
The DJ played "Imagine" and everbody cried
I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands
All we were saying was "Let's give peace a chance"

Where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history?
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?

Every 20,000 years that comet lights up the night
On a blanket we watched it sail across the sky
A moment like that comes just once in life
It felt like our first time at 11:35

Where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history?
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?

I remember when I met you, the taste of our first kiss
I remember your goodbye, but would you tell me this?

Where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history?
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
