about
there are a lot of references to the 1970's in this collection, this song has a few as well. The reason is 70's am radio is where we learned our melodic sensibilities, sitting in the back seat of the station wagon, fighting with your sister while your mom and olivia sing have you never been mellow.
lyrics
70's, breezy
play me anything from tapestry
all those songs i used to know
j.t., joni, how come you've gone and left me
standing on a silent road
oh, AM radio it echoes in my soul
from all of those years ago
you see the thing is i just miss the wings
or the way that carly sings
it was perfect back then
on AM
i may be crazy
but what i here today don't make me
want to get in my car and drive
september (EWF), denver(john)
which ones do you remember
what was number 4 in '75
oh, AM radio still echoes in my soul
from all of those years ago
you see i can find my steely dan
it was left in a veedub van
with the button set
on AM
i can still here my sister singing songs
laying with papa's big headphones on
the Carpenters built every sound
that echoed through my mama's house
oh, AM radio still echoes in my soul
from all of those years ago
lord knows i could stand to hear sister rose
but she's gone away i suppose
and wont be back again
on AM
