ATF: I-90 West

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

More Than A Feeling
Boston
I woke up this mornin’
And the sun was gone
Turned on some music
To start my day
I lost myself
In a familiar song
I closed my eyes
And I slipped away

It's more than a feelin’
More than a feelin’
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feelin’
And I begin dreamin’
More than a feelin’
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Mary Ann walkin' away

When I’m tired
And thinkin’ cold
I hide in my music
Forget the day
And dream of a girl
I used to know
I closed my eyes
And she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feelin’
More than a feelin’
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feelin’
And I begin dreamin’
More than a feelin’
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away

25 or 6 to 4
Chicago
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

    Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! So did I, and I was absolutely blown away the first time I heard Boston's More Than A Feeling. In face, that feeling remains.

    Okay, my dear Jackie, were you talking about being included in my Places of Interest?
