What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Pretty weak for Barry. Most of his studio albums come out higher than this. And this is a greatest hits album. I'm
sure Vol. 1 made a love rating and this one barely makes a like, on the strength of three tracks, with five making
the lowest grade. Two of those are covers that are cringe worthy. Meat Loaf/Steinman had to be weeping at the
slaughter of Read 'Em And Weep and The Four Seasons Let's Hang On makes the worst. Weep actually made it to #18 as
a U.S. single. One more cover of Ian Hunters Ships at least gets a pass mark and made #9. I Made It Through The
Rain is my favorite and got a #10. The Old Songs (#15) and Somewhere Down The Road (#21) are the other two love
tracks. This album only went gold as opposed to Vol. 1's platinum. I would only give it a silver, or maybe gray.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Let's Hang On

Best Track - I Made It Through The Rain

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain

And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain

And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain

And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
And made it through
I made it through
