Oh yeah, he didn’t leave anything out. But he sure did leave a lot to the imagination though Lol

Nice song though. Real smooth. I’m going to have to check his music out.

Check out Paul Hardcastle, Stanley Clarke, Craig T. Cooper and Paul Taylor too. They’ve got some nice cuts.

Sirius XM has a station called Watercolors. I’m listening now. They’ve played a few artists you’ve mentioned. Real smooth songs.

Nina Simone, Cleo Laine, Bette Middler, Harry Conick Jr... all jazz artists with lyrics. Jazz is not just instrumental.

While this isn't "lewd" at all, I always assumed that Drops of Jupiter by Train was about a really traumatic break-up. Turns out it's actually about the death of the lead singer's mother! This whole time I thought it was about the end of a relationship, or someone being rejected by the person that they like, when it's actually about grief and mourning.

After the Vietnam War, there were lots of singers who grandly announced that this or that song they had written back then had really been about the war, and hadn't we all picked up on it? (No.)

Examples for other boomers here: Yellow River and Summer Side of Life, which I love, but I hear no hints about war.

I remember reading an interview with Glen Campbell who said that the beautiful, haunting “Galveston” was absolutely anti-Vietnam. He said it was a lonely, frightened solder remembering his hometown and wondering if he’d ever see it again: “I clean my gun, and dream of Galveston”.
It was so subtle I honestly never connected it to ‘Nam—but HE knew it.

I grew up less than an hour away from Galveston and spent so much time there. It came out when I was in high school and I KNOW we never connected it with the war! We thought it was a beautiful song about the city we loved.

I just found out that not only is "Morning Dew," a song played a lot by the Grateful Dead and its various incarnations, A- actually a cover (I know they played a lot of covers, I just didn't know this was), and B- not a sweet song about nature in the morning, but actually about being the last people alive on earth after an apocalypse. The songwriter saw a movie called "On the Beach" about a global nuclear holocaust and it inspired the song.

Sweet dreams (are made of this)

Ok I'm of the MTV generation when they still played music videos. I was startled as an adult when I was chatting with a friend of mine from church who told me the song is about S&M!! My mind was blown, since then I've never listened to the song the same way again.

Funny enough I recently saw a chapter do a door chant to the song "Centerfold" by the J.Geil band and I'm thinking "hmm a song about finding your crush in a naughty magazine"

Though my dad said that when he was in college, this song was at every party lol.

I was 9 or 10 when that song was originally popular, and it was so ubiquitous that I even remember a bunch of girls singing it as part of a talent night- at GIRL SCOUT CAMP! And yes, we all knew what it was about.

Our local high school marching band recently played the full version of "Centerfold" every week, during the regular high school football game halftime, as they marched in formations with their flag team and pom squad.

Their second football halftime marching tune of choice was Blondie's "Call Me".

Never heard any parental or community complaints about their choices.

I DO recall the HS marching band of MY era playing/performing to songs such as The Doors "Light My Fire", also without complaint.

I don’t know what it’s about, but right about now, I’m in my studio doing some boat overlays for a client and listening.

My kind of music
