Lizzie's song of the day

I'm into something good - Herman's Hermits  (1964)

Songwriters: Gerry Goffin & Carole King 

Again, got my dad to thank for my 60s obsession and my intro to Herman's Hermits. Very typical boy-meets-girl-falls-in-love kinda song the 60s were known for, but it's got staying power & it's catchy. I wake up so many times with this song in my head...

Something tells me I'm into something good.....

Lizzie's song of the day

Who are you - The Who  (1978)

Album: Who are you?

Songwriter: Pete Townshend

This band used to be hit or miss for me until I realized I liked more than disliked songs by them. They have grown on me since. This one I heard first when it was featured in the soundtrack of a show I used to watch called Remington Steele. It has stuck with me since. The Who’s last studio album with Keith Moon.

THE Performance of the Grammy’s! Ahh Tracy Chapman! What a voice! What a song!  Such a joy to see her after all this time. That smile!

it was great. Luke Combs gave this song a new life and to see them both perform is awesome. I have had the good fortune to see Luke Combs live In person. Terrific ofc :)

Lizzie's song of the day

A hazy shade of winter 

Songwriter: Paul Simon

I first heard this song by The Bangles and did not know there was an older, original version.

Although the Bangles' version is more grungy and sounds grittier, I love the og..it has grown on me. It has so much soul and the lyrics! Only Paul Simon can write like this...

Time, time, time

See what's become of me

While I looked around for my possibilities

I was so hard to please

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the Salvation Army band

Down by the riverside

There's bound to be a better ride

Than what you've got planned

Carry a cup in your hand

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say

But if your hopes should pass away

Simply pretend that you can build them again

Look around

The grass is high

The fields are ripe

It's the springtime of my life

Seasons change with the scenery

Weavin' time in a tapestry

Won't you stop and remember me?

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around

Leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground
