ATF: Together or Apart

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



We Belong
Pat Benatar
We belong
We belong to the light

Many times I’ve tried to tell you
Many times I’ve cried alone
Always I’m surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don’t wanna leave you really
I’ve invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong
We belong
We belong together

Maybe it’s a sign of weakness
When I don’t know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn’t know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there’s no looking forward
Now there’s no turning back
When you say

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong
We belong
We belong together

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can’t begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong
We belong
We belong together
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong
We belong
We belong together
We belong to the light

We belong to the thunder



Since You’ve Been Gone
Head East
I get the same old dream
Same time every night
Fall to the ground
And I wake up
So I get out of bed
Put on my shoes
And in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
And these four walls are closin’ in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you’ve been gone
Since you’ve been gone
I'm outta my head
Can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you’ve been gone
You cast the spell
So break it
Do it do do
Do it do do
Do it do do
Can't take it

And in the night I stand
Beneath the backstreet lights
I read the words
That you sent to me
I can take the afternoon
But night time
Comes around too soon
You can't know
What you mean to me
Your poison letter
Your telegram
They go to show
You don’t give a damn

Since you’ve been gone
Since you’ve been gone
I'm outta my head
Can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you’ve been gone
You cast the spell
So break it
Do it do do
Do it do do
Do it do do
Can't take it

Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah…

If you will come back
Baby I'm here
Whenever you want
Do it

Since you’ve been gone
Since you’ve been gone
I'm outta my head
Can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you’ve been gone
You cast the spell
So break it
Do it do do
Do it do do
Do it do do
Do it do do
Ever since
You’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

Since you’ve been gone

Do it do do
Do it do do
Ever since
You’ve been gone

ATF: White Lines

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Never Been Any Reason
Head East
Did you see any action
Did you make any friends
Would you like some affection
Before I leave again
I've been walkin’ behind you
Since you've been able to see
There's never been any reason
For you to think about me

Did you have any bad dreams
Did you break any glass
Would you be my companion
Is there even a chance
You've been talkin’ in circles
Since I've been able to cry
There's never been any reason
For ever tellin’ me why
Yeah
Yeah

Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Woman with the sweet lovin'
Better than a white line
Bring a good feelin’
Ain't had in such a long time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time

Have you ever been lonely
Do you have any fun
Do you ever think of me
I'm just no one
Yeah
You never give me no answer
You never tell me the truth
There's never been any reason
For me to think about you
There's never been any reason
There's never been any reason
Hey
Hey
There's never been any reason

Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Woman with the sweet lovin'
Better than a white line
Don't you know she could
Bring a good feelin’
Ain't had in such a long time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Whoa
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time
Save my life
I'm goin’ down for the last time



***NOTE***
That is not Garth Brooks singing, nor is it his backup band playing, but in the absence of the real thing on YouTube, this video will just have to do.  Besides, it is arguable that this cover is better than the real thing in at least some respects.

Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)
Garth Brooks
This ol' highway's gettin’ longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best
But I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house
But no one answered
For the last two weeks
No one's been home
I guess she's through with me
To tell the truth
I just can't see
What's kept the woman holdin’ on this long

And the white line's gettin’ longer
And the saddle's getting’ cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table
With no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

The competition's gettin’ younger
Tougher broncs
You know I can't recall
A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux
Lonely women
And bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all

And the white line's gettin’ longer
And the saddle's gettin’ cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table
With no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

Lord I'm much too young to feel this damn old
