What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Another one of those artists who you just don't realize how good they were until you here a collection. Has to be one of the greatest female rock vocalists. Don't remember any of Pat's studio albums being all that great, but this is. What I would call a singles artist. Seven tracks I love on this twelve track set. Pulled from seven albums from '79 -'88. Weird that this album peaked at #67 in the U.S. and #6 in the U.K. Thought she was bigger than that here. Must not have been a push on this as Pat is a four time grammy winner with 19 top 40 singles. Three additional tracks on the cd version of this. I was cheated. Not sure what Pat's biggest hit was, just remember most of these getting tons of airplay, both radio and MTV. Some distracting videos of which I was never a fan, but the music was great. Best for me on this listen is one of Pat's softer numbers, One Love. Must have been a chore for her to be so laid back.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Promises In The Dark

Best Track - One Love

Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song
As he traveled on road of hope
One Love is the light, shining over every mountain top
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One Love is the light, shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now

Some wait, so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home, forever

Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeh he's gone unto his father's land
Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream

One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be

We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the people of the hard rain
