    Lyrics:
    Girl, I've been watching you
    From so far across the floor now baby
    That's nothing new
    I've watched you so many times before now baby
    I see that look in your eyes
    And what it's telling me
    And you know girl that I'm not shy
    I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy now baby
    You read my mind
    Girl I wanna shake you down
    I could give you all the loving you need
    Come on let me take you down
    We'll go all the way to heaven

      No, they don't. People are still good, but addicted to instruments which drive them to bad.
      So they pass up the good entertainment for the bad too often. The contemporary, the relevant, the feed for that addiction.
      I feel more emotion, and stronger emotion, with this good entertainment. Let's just call a spade a spade: They are missing out.

      1987 was one of the BEST YEAR of my life. I was 23, and the world seemed to be at my feet. Sadly, I'm 60 now, and life has really defeated me in so many, many ways. Lost so, so many loved ones. As they say, the ones left behind are the ones that truly truly suffer. 😢 Some days, I feel like what's the point of living when all your loved ones are gone? Life isn't fulfilling like it used to be. I don't know anymore. I am blessed with a little Chihuahua though. Oh man, he has brought so much joy, happiness, fun and silliness back into my life. I thank God everyday for bringing Kona into my life. I love it that we spend 24/7 together!! Hes my pride and joy!! ❤❤

    My mum, uncles and aunties have influenced my youth growing up with 70s and 80s music! I’m 28 and I haven’t stopped listening to all these songs.
    It’s funny, when I was little the music was a theme, now the music is a memory of things I can’t relive and people I can’t see anymore.
    Is this what it’s like growing older? Nostalgia? Melancholy? It’s like a subtle sadness but it’s attached to happiness in my memories.

      This is the die-hard truth! The music of the 1970s-90s is unlike any we have ever been blessed with…. Specifically the 1980s. During the 1980s, I grew up. It was my childhood. It’s when I discovered dance. It’s when I discovered classics which will always be classics… This song is just over 35 years old. And, it will still sound equally great in another 35 years! The same can be said about Earth-Wind & Fire’s September, songs by Genesis (especially their 1986 album, Invisible Touch) & Phil Collins as a solo artist, Barbara Streisand, The Bee Gees, and can we definitely include: MARVIN GAYE? What’s GOING ON? That song applies to today’s present society as much as it did upon its release 40 years ago! Sexual Healing & Let’s Get It On… Those songs are as significant now as when they released! I could keep going, too! I love music… It’s the universal language. It’s what brings people together during the worst & best times… Elton John: Candle in the Wind -> Goodbye England’s Rose. But, then, John’s Crocodile Rock to Daniel. Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle to Operator. Billy Joel’s She’s Always a Woman to And so it Goes to We Didn’t Start the Fire. Christopher Cross’ Sailing to Arthur’s Theme.

    Still listening JANUARY 2022, takes you back to better time, after the 80s music started to go down hill, but thank God the great music from the 60s and 70s are being played with today's youngsters seeing what put a smile on our faces and getting it. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIENDS. 🙏 😎😎😎✌✌✌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
