What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Nothing like some early 70's soft rock to make you remember how bland radio was in that period. David Gates and company made the best of it, dropping the hits for a brief time. Don't think I own any studio albums but I did pick up this compilation at some point. Them hits are good stuff, but the rest of the albums must have been total filler. This one probably includes both the best and worst of the groups output. The worst is usually when they tried to rock out. They didn't last long. disbanding over disputes between founding members Gates and James Griffin. Both attempted solo careers with little success. I do have one of those Gates solo albums, which if I remember correctly pretty much sucked. It'll come up in the shuffle at some point.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Fancy Dancer

Best Track - Everything I Own

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years i ever knew
Were all the years i had with you

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own,
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And i knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
You're loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again.
