She came to me and said good-bye.
She cried, but her eyes were dry.
She said she'd never love another guy
Like me. Like me.
But soon the sun will shine again.
She will be mine again.
And everything will be all right again.
You'll see. You'll see.
I remember seeing Devo on Saturday Night Live as clearly as I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. Both times, the world shifted a bit.
I never became a big devotee of punk rock, but it was interesting and energetic...and it was during that time I jotted this little song ditty. All I remember is that it had about three notes, a driving drumbeat, and a middle verse, which I have since forgotten.
Other shifts in the music world have rocked it, but not me so much. I guess we all tend to hang on to our musical roots, the stuff that shaped our lives as we were growing up.
I'm glad about that...because no matter what anyone else says, the '60s music rocked — and still does!
