Michigander. Maybe a poet? But track record says I’m a poser. Listener of music. Reader of books. In summer see me at Lake Michigan a lot offering the appearance of being hip because I am wearing sunglasses. 🏳️‍🌈 Gen X for life.

Took a break from the 80s and spun this one on vinyl a bit. Such a great artist. This song. Such a story.

I do need to block out the Morrisey stuff to listen these days. Lots of memories tied up in those old songs though.

Much cooler those evening at the beach. Saw a freighter this time passing by.

Those first notes are one of the most iconic 80s openings. One of the 80s iconic songs. One of the 80s iconic bands. It still feels groundbreaking.

Hard to watch. Not much luck control or skating. Side note: That Hutson kid is a legit player for Montreal.

My gosh. So much in this one song. And I understand why she didn’t play it live because the content and meaning. She was and remains an icon of endurance despite the forces against.
Rise indeed!! Thanks for the post of this one today!

Listen to give your life a little jolt to remind yourself that you are still here. So good. Side note: the spoken words at the beginning you hear are this:

“Some things take forever
But with building bricks of trust and love
Mountains can be moved”

One of those songs that when you first hear you knew the artist was going to be a force. I was in university then. It still flat out rocks.
She had larger commercial success later but this early album and this song felt raw and charged.

I agree! Suns Always Shines is a banger. In their second albums I always liked the song Manhattan Skyline a lot.

Love Plus One was one of the early 80s songs that opened up so much new music for me
