I finally took a few minutes to take a nice warm bath last night and relax for a few minutes...
I've decided that I have to quit telling people that I've got a handle on the stress. I had a couple of really good weeks, where I managed the stress very well. But last week it was like "The Universe" upped the ante and the last few days I've really struggled...
Anyway, I was listening to my MP3 player in the bathroom and this song came on. I know that opening riff by heart. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out what song it was.
Funny, though, I knew it was the first track on one side of one of Burt Bacharach's first two A&M albums. Sure enough, come to find out, it was the opening track on side 2 of the "Reach Out" album.
In going to post it this morning I went to the "official" Burt Bacharach one and discovered it was a completely different version. Good but it doesn't have that immediately identifiable opening riff. Turns out there are two official versions...
