I was but a wee little boy when this song came out, but WOW I just recently discovered it and I love it

Nightshift by The Commodores

Apparently they dedicated it to two musicians who had recently died back in 84. I find that very touching

Anything by Rush.

It was pretty cool, actually. One day, I was jamming out to "Limelight" and my mom told me that Rush was the first concert my dad took her to, back in the day.

Lionel Richie was indeed a Commodore, but he was gone by the time they recorded Nightshift.

Random bit of trivia. The Commodores got their name by throwing a dictionary in the air and slamming a finger down on the page that it turned to. Lionel Richie said "I'm just happy he just BARELY missed the word 'commode'."

Old songs I recently got into...I'll have to give it some thought.

There's a lot of such songs. Two recent are those:



it is sung by Anna German, a polish singer of dutch/german origin, born in Uzbekhistan. It's not her song, though, it was sung by Dallida and I think by Aznavour.
It tells a story of a mother dieing, with her family gathering around.

This is sung by Irena Santor, who is very reknown in Poland. She started her career in the beginning of the 50's, and even today she's active. The song is a bit cheesy, these are 80s after all (and the video is even cheesier), but it has nice, nostalgic lyrics:

bla bla

The wild beaches where I was gathering ambers
Do not exist anymore
Back then, I was going to you with the dog,
And the sea-gulls were circling on the sky
The wild beaches do not exist anymore
Nor the busy cafe by the pier
Quite a few faces disappeared
And many (people) have wasted their youth

I enter the train back home, wiping away the tears
People are lonely, whether they wish it or not
I look into eyes of the autumn, there are herds of clouds over the beach
The landscape of my hopes is passing away.

I will still sometimes put on the decades channels on the XM and listen to some oldies.
