    I was 21 in 1981 playing in a band when the song came out' we bought the single 45 and practiced all evening up until 1am to get it down' played it at the club Friday night and ended up having to play it at least a half dozen times that night. Most request song for months back then. Wish I could go back to the 80's' best years for music.

      Oh if I could only go back then and know what I know today.... life would have turned out much better. I guess we can all say that relating to certain situations.... those were the best of times for sure.
      Hope you and everyone else got to live life from that time on filled with good memories as back then.

    I sat next to Greg in college in Baltimore. Very cool dude. He played some coffee houses around Baltimore City where I saw him. It was just Greg, an acoustic guitar and a harmonica.
    He said he was heading off to California to start a band and guess what? He did!

    • @keithclark486
      @keithclark486 3 года назад +9

      He said you would look over at his papers and was always asking him for the answers , He said you would literally aggravate the crap outta him , So he decided to move to get away from you and started a band, So the moral of the story is
      If it hadn't been for you he would not have been successful in the music industry.
      So thank you we have the opportunity to listen to his music.

    This song was borrowed in a TV commercial in the Philippines way back when I was in college during the 80’s. It’s about an orange product and that part in this song that says uh uh uh uh uh uh the commercial goes….uh uh orange uh uh uh uh uh. I remember this so vividly coz the talent that sung that song in the commercial was our band’s lead vocalist. A very good friend of mine who passed away during the COVID pandemic. Miss you Bro 😎

    And we had broken up for good just an hour before
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancin' 'cross the floor
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets you down
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    It was the same old song with a melancholy sound
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    They don't write 'em like that anymore
    They just don't write 'em like that anymore
    We'd been living together for a million years
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancin' so slow
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    They don't write 'em like that anymore
    They don't write 'em like that anymore
    Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    'Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past
    (Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
    They don't write 'em like that anymore
    No
    They just don't write 'em like that anymore
    They don't write 'em like that anymore
    They just don't write 'em like that anymore
    They just don't, no, they don't
    No, no, uh-uh
    They just don't write 'em like that anymore
    They just don't
