Gotta Keep A Runnin

The band 'The Godz' is a band from Columbus Ohio that was formed in 1976. Soon there was a problem because the band members unknowingly named their band 'The Godz' before they found out that there was already a band from New York with the same name. Because of this unseen problem there was supposedly a monetary settlement between the two bands, so that this Godz band wouldn't need to change their band name to something else.

I was unable to find any information about whether or not the song 'Gotta Keep A Runnin' ever made a showing on the Billboard Charts.

Run Joey Run

The song 'Run Joey Run' is a song about a teenage girl getting pregnant by her boyfriend Joey, which ended in tragedy.

You may find the lyrics unbelievable in this day and age, but believe it or not, this scenario was closer to being true back in the day when fathers took teenage pregnancy a lot more seriously.

This song was popular enough to make it to #5 on the U.S. billboard charts in 1975.

Over The Hills And Far Away

The song 'Over The Hills And Far Away' is one of my favorite songs sang by the Led Zeppelin band.

This song is on their 1973 'Houses of the holy' album. Even though this song only made it to #51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, it is still a memorable song.

Due to a possible virus issue involving sites with song lyrics on them I will not be including song lyrics anymore. I apologize to those of you who look forward to it.

I also apologize for the commercial at the beginning of the video.

Disco Inferno

Music from the 70's was mostly cool sounding ... and then Disco music was added to the mix.

The song Disco Inferno made its debut in 1976 and was one of the cooler sounding Disco songs out there, and that is probably why I like this song.

You can find this song on the 'Saturday Night Fever' album, which came out in 1977. This song became successful in 1978 because of its exposure on that album.

Here is the video for you to enjoy.

Round About

The song 'Round About' is one of my favorite songs by the band 'YES'. The music is truly amazing.

This song peaked at #13 on the billboard 100 charts in 1972. The full length version is 8:29 minutes long, but the single version that was sold in stores and played on most radio stations was cut down to 3:27 minutes.

The lyrics:

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

This song is on an album titled "Easter", which is among a trio of albums that were done by the Patti Smith Group.

Patti Smith's music Genre is considered to be 'Punk Rock'.

These are the lyrics so that you can sing along with the video:

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, n' try n' understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

C'mon now, try n' understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring, on the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes

C'mon now, try n' understand

The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious cycle turns, n' burns
Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearnin' burnin'
I believe it's time, too real to feel, so take me now, take me now, take me now...

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Hold Your Head Up

The band Argent came out with a song in the early 70's, which was the song, 'Hold your head up'.

Keyboardist Rod Argent founded this band in 1968. Rod was formally from the band 'The Zombies'.

This song made it to #5 on the U.S. billboard charts in 1972. It was written by Rod Argent and Chris White.

These are the lyrics:

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can make it

Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing

Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high
