Another favorite from REM; their early material was really quite good, in this former radio disc jockey’s humble opinion anyway. 😉

Did you never call?
I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend
The cities wash away
The city on the river
There is a girl without a dream

Those ear worms anyway; for some reason, the music from “The Godfather” reminded me of a tune composed by Quincy Jones that played during the opening for the original “Italian Job” from 1969. Haven’t a clue why.

On Days Like These
When skies are blue and fields are green
I look around and think about what might have been
And then I hear sweet music float around my head
As I recall the many things we left unsaid

The nighty night jam is a live version of one of my “Iraq tunes.”

To follow it
You must be clean
With mistakes
That you do mean
Move the heart
Switch the pace
Look for what
Seems out of place

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

A sunny, not sub-zero Saturday road jam on this last day of January: hop in the Edge and there’s something off what I think is Elton John’s best album.

Afternoon driving tuneage on the stretch of State Highway 70 between the city of Eagle River and the town of St. Germain up yonder in northern Wisconsin.
