I’ll not ask you why
I knew one day I‘d fly
Baby, it was something unreal
Baby, you just passed by me, near

Happy birthday to Coleman Hawkins, born on this day in 1904!

A tenor sax colossus from St. Joseph, Missouri, he revolutionized the instrument in Harlem’s roaring jazz scene, turning it into a solo powerhouse by his early 20s.

Not a sunny day, but I’m still burning.
I have everything, yet I’ve got nothing.
I’m crying without tears — it’s so unreal.
Hearing without ears… my sixth sense feels.
Just tell me why I’m still burning.
Just tell me why you’re my everything…
While I’m still your nothing.

I still remember our date,
That day, though it was a little late.
The evening charm, so warm and nice,
Just me and you… and stars in your blue-green eyes.

Half-empty park, our midnight walking,
The silence talking 'bout me and you.
I can tell you everything, just nothing,
I can tell you that I still love you.

The last train to Clarksville —
you’re still away, all day, from me again.
The last plane to Clarksville
vanished without me in the pouring rain.
No walking days, just bad weather —
but I’ll wait a little more.
Anyway, we’ll be together,
like we were just a couple days before.

17 November 1971 - Slade were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Coz I Luv You', the group's first of six No.1's. The misspelt song titles became a trademark for Slade, causing great furore among teachers up and down the country. #Slade #CozILuvYou
