Music - Because I'm Tired of Da Funk
I came reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllly close to being out of my funk. The one that set up residence at the end of January. Only this morning put me back into it.
So I've wandered (thanks in part to the Rodriquii) over to youtube and I'm surfing music videos.
In and out of videos, back to my homepage. Then this came up on my recommendations.
I love this song. There's a history with me. The local AOR (album oriented rock) station used to play this every saturday night back in the early 90's when I was killing myself working two jobs because I was an idiot and in debt. Only I didn't know who sang it. Or the name of the song. Years (decade plus) later I tried to find it. Now I've fairly good at putting lyrics into Google and finding songs. This one eluded me. The one line I could sort of remember was the one about Bellevue. So I turned at one point to friends on a private message board. Someone said Springsteen. I said no becuase I knew that the voice I remembered was not Bruce. (we'll come back to that momentarily). Someone else suggested Blinded by the Light. I listened. Close. had the right feel. Not the right song. A bit of youtube searching shortly after. Found it. For You. Manfred Mann.
Now, BOTH Blinded by the Light AND For You? Written by.... Bruce Springsteen. Manfred Mann had the hits with them.
Now, back to Youtubing to try to pull myself out of da funk.
