Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

I've always loved this song but the first time I saw the video is what sticks with me 🤩 A friend and I were hanging out at her place when she shared this performance with me. I've been low-key obsessed ever since. Eartha Kitt is and always will be an icon.

Waiting for the 7.18 - Bloc Party


Long before I’d been to London or became a train commuter myself, I loved the soundscape and the lyrics in this song. And when I was back in London earlier this year, I actually made sure to spend a day in Brighton ❤️

“If I could do it again, I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling”

 
Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

I am having a rough afternoon. Memories of the sandbox. Tonight I will go to better time and place. And just reflecting back to this nite makes me happier.

My wife and I had just met and were going out like crazy. It was a gorgeous June day and I was able to swap dad duties with my ex.

We were jointly celebrating our birthdays (3 days apart). She was dressed super sexy - a dress w a zipper down the front and back strapped heels. She was (and still is) a total smoke show that night.

My now wife’s husband had passed 9 mos earlier and I was recently divorced. But we had an amazing connection right away. Same musical tastes. (Our first date was Fountains of Wayne)

We went to NYC, went shopping and had an early dinner in the village. The show was scheduled early at The Highline Ballroom (like weirdly a 7pm
Show) We got there and saw Hacienda and then The Duke Spirit took the stage. It was loud and heavy. An amazing show. They were really bringing it. We met some people who knew the band afterwards, so we stayed late met the band and had several drinks with them before they headed out for more nightlife.

It was an amazing night! Sorta just what we needed. And reflecting back is just what I needed today. Writing this gave me good focus!!

(we found out later that some people did not know that the showtime was so early, because they opened the club up to become a dance club at 10:30. We met one person who had just gotten there and missed the whole thing.😬)

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

One of the first of Kent's songs that really got me into the band.
A single that never made it on to an album, it's a song about two lovers stuck inside during the frigid Stockholm winter of 2002.

Kent - Vinter Noll 2 (Winter oh-two)

I have no idea what he's saying, but it's beautiful
 
Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

growing up with divorced parents, especially during the summer months, i had to go to work with my dad and help him out when i could. he was in the floor covering business for 45 years and always working on one project or another. working with him meant a lot of down town and music on the radio. the oldies stations always played this song during the summer and it has always stuck with me as one of billy joel's best songs.
