Here Comes The Night

When Nick Gilder's song 'Here Comes The Night' was played on the Radio for the first time in 1978, the song only made it to #44 on the U.S. charts, but the song did better on the Canadian charts climbing as high as #21.

If you have never heard of this song it might be because it didn't get as much radio airplay as his #1 hit 'Hot Child In The City' had gotten, during the same year.

No Matter What

The band Badfinger came out with some really good songs during the early 70's. The song, 'No Matter What', was one of them.

The tragedy of the suicidal deaths of two of the former band members, who were also the lead vocalists, came as a shock to many, who weren't aware of the troublesome things that those two band members had been experiencing, with the manager of the record labels.

I liked this song because I thought that it was a cool love song, which was a bit rocking for a love song, if that makes any sense.

These are the lyrics, just in case you want to sing along with the video:

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found girl, oh girl won't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see in my face girl, oh girl don't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

This was one of my favorite songs to sing along with, when I was a kid. Learning the lyrics to this song was easy enough, so that my cousins and I, could bust out and start singing the song, without the music playing on the radio.

I hope that you will enjoy listening to this song, because it is from a time, when I was young enough to not be worried about the stresses, from a grown ups point of view, during that time period.
