Some Old School Jams
Okay, it's Tuesday, and we know the drill, yeah?😉
And because we were feeling some nostalgia the other day, we put on some old school jams and let them play while we (Yongi and I) lazed on the bed. From them, I have chosen three to share today for the TTT by Ablaze.
The first one was a discovery through Adam Sandler's Love You film. I didn't watch, but part of this song played at the beginning of the movie, and I thought it wasn't new to me. I've heard that song before!
Nicolette Larson - Lotta Love
The single was originally composed and recorded by Neil Young, with whom Larson worked in the 70s. Her version of the song is more optimistic, with that classic soft rock horn riff and string arrangements giving the song a touch of disco, adding more rhythm and groove.
It was Larson's number 1 hit song in 1978 in the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, and number 8 on the pop singles chart.(src)
After playing the song a few times, this part of the lyrics got stuck, and is on repeat in my mind:😅
...🎵It's gonna take a lotta love🎵...
The next one was a random selection, but like the above song, it wasn't my first time hearing this.
Paul Young - Everytime You Go Away
It was first recorded in the 1980s by Hall & Oates in their 1980 studio album. Paul's cover was released in 1985, featuring a combination of instruments (echoed piano, fretless bass, coral electric sitar, and Spanish acoustic guitar). The truth is that the arrangements had me.
The cover reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song won British Video of the Year at the 1986 Brit Awards.(src)
And here's the third tune:
Steve Perry - Foolish Heart
The lead singer and frontman of the rock band Journey, Steve Perry, released this in 1984 as part of his first album, Street Talk. The song ranked number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #2 on the Adult Contemporary.
A little story behind the song:
Information has it that Perry contacted Randy Goodrum to ask him to write songs with him. They had never met before, the songwriter thought Perry might have mistaken him for Randy Bachman. Well, they went on to meet, and Foolish Heart was their first collaboration, and with its success, it wasn't a mistake after all!
Anyway, this timeless ballad about the vulnerability of loving and the courage to heal after getting hurt was covered by various artists. It was also featured in the 12th episode of CSI: Cyber, Season 2.
And with that ends my set of oldies songs for this week's Three Tune Tuesday. Hope you had a good time!

Compared to today music and society in general, that musics seems to have been done decades ago... I liked Paul young the most
Oh yes, they were in the late 70s and 80s :)
Paul Young is an awesome musician.
I haven't heard those music earlier. It seem you come here to ensure I listen some new music😅.
Those music are old ones but those are cool and I really enjoyed it.

I'm not too familiar with the first dong, but Everytime You Go Away and Foolish Heart, they're the best! I have then in my playlist, as a lullaby. Ang gandanlang kasi, ng vibe, ng beat and melody, hahhh, now I feel like listening to my Lullaby songs again which consists of old songs na gold talaga ✨💃❤️❤️
Oldies are goodies, sabi nila hehe. Masarap din makinig sa mga ganito lalo kung gusto mong magpahinga lang :)

Many thanks :)
I remember when the cassette player messed up with the tapes and I had to spend the whole day wondering what happened. Still remember the feeling !BBH
Haha, at least you experienced using them :) The present generation doesn't even know them😄

The first one's new to me. I also should watch that film because I love Adam Sandler's films.
The second one's been in my parent's playlists so they're not that new to me. My dad used to sing that very line only 😆
Foolish Heart's been in my playlist and go-to karaoke song 😆
Thanks for sharing all of them. I enjoyed them ✨
It's nice that two of the songs are familiar to you, and how awesome, your parents love music too! I bet there are singers in your family😍
foolish heart is familiar to me. I've heard it before. It's a nice song. 😁
It is indeed, sis :) Familiar din yung kumanta hehe.
It’s so funny how I listen to old songs a lot but never familiar with any of these😅😅
Nice songs!
With hundreds of thousands or probably millions of old songs, we get lucky if we listen to at least 1% of them hehe. Thank you !LADY
