Train of Thought

Train’s new song “Marry Me” has a wonderful music video that tips the cap towards “When Harry Met Sally” with sweet little stories from couples. I also like the lyric “Marry Me. If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this café”

It’s a clever way of saying even the greatest love stories of all-time began somewhere. Even the greatest passions began with the simplest of sparks like saying hello at a café.

MARRY ME

Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I’ve had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won’t let them see
But there’s one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I’ll wear out the words I love
And you’re beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Promise me
You’ll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Mm-hmm

52nd Street

I love Billy Joel but mostly his stuff prior to 1980’s Glass Houses which was good but clearly the beginning of a different era for his music. Billy’s last great album was “52nd Street” from 1978. Just checkout the way it begins with three masterpieces:

Big Shot, Honesty and then My Life. What a 1, 2, 3 punch, huh?
Checkout the following three rare music videos filmed for these songs. I especially liked My Life which shows a young Billy and the band on the streets of New York City circa 1978 when Reggie Jackson and the Yankees ruled the world.

Big Shot

Honesty

My Life
