"I Know a Place" by Petula Clark

Photo I took in Washington Blvd. in Ogden a few weeks ago

I was working on a depression again this morning.  What is it about holidays (I was very depressed on the 4th of July too).  I was playing an album that had "Downtown" on it and I was thinking about the line "linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty".

That reminded me of another favorite song: "Neon Rainbow" by the Box Tops (see my post for 12-Nov-2012) and I started to think about how the "Neon Rainbow" is gone.  There aren't many neon signs left downtown anymore.

I'm pretty sure that building above, had neon lights back in the 60's.

Anyway, I already posted "Downtown in my old blog back on 8-Nov-2012.  I always thought this song was reminiscent of "Downtown", so I thought I would post it for today.

"You're the Only Woman" by Ambrosia

Heard this on Sue's playlist - couldn't remember artist at first.  Crazy, given Ambrosia was my favorite artist for many years.

"Bedlam Town" by Bill Baylis · Julie Tulley



Heard this 80's song (which I don't remember hearing before) in the film "Blue is the Warmest Color".

I loved this film, despite 3 hours of subtitles that were pretty brutal.  A review I read somewhere said you would feel so many emotions.  So true!  I cried a lot at the end.  Although the sex scenes were a very small portion of the film, they were quite... um, I don't know... interesting?  ;)

"Don't Cry" by The Lost Patrol

I'm going through my Shazam's a couple of months after this and going back and posting them on the date I Shazam'd them posting them.  I can relate to the opening line of this song at this point, I feel like some of my friends have deserted me and I feel kind of alone.
