  • I have looked for this for decades now. My 45 is long gone and it doesn't appear to be commercially available now. I like it better than the album version. It has a nice choral part in the chorus. I like the "you can feel it" repeated at the end. Update: I found it! On…

  • I will always think of my cat Vincent when I hear this. I would grab him into my arms and whirl him around like a dance partner when this was playing. I remember sunshine and silly sweetness. I will never get over losing him.

  • I heard this when I got back in the car after Donna's funeral service.

  • This song captures 1980 better than any other. All that "soft rock" that I was so embarrassed to admit I loved. Not anymore. The sun shines when I hear this. I wear leotards and have my hair cut short and spend a lot of time at the Classic Motor Company drinking chablis spritzers.

  • Another song without a YouTube video. The lyrics are beautiful, reminding me of my first years in SoCal in the early ’00s. People slag on California, Southern California, and Los Angeles in particular. I love it. Maybe because it's such a center of creative energy.

  • This has the golden glow about it of the 80s I loved. It wasn't all New Wave and purple jumpsuits. Maybe it was being in the Young Adult phase, but I was caught up in a sense of fun and and possibility then that is perfectly captured by this song. 

  • I love this so much. Sweet piano jazz, horrifying lyrics. The backstory in the YouTube note is kind of sad, though.

  • There are many songs from back in the day that I've gotten thoroughly sick of. Not this one. "Seamstress for the band" jumped out at me, as I was just getting into embroidering and sewing. The album cover of Madman Across the Water is one of the most personally influential pieces of art I've ever…

  • I heard this song on a promo for the series premiere of The Walking Dead. It gave me a completely different impression of what the show would be about. I suppose someone thought they were clever with the "Walker Brothers." And the song is fittingly pessimistic. But I thought it would be more artistic and contemplative than…

  • I've had an emusic subscription for a long time now. When I want to discover new music, I often type a random word into the search. Found a whole bunch of good songs when I typed "satellite."
