about

Winding down my Lockdown Project started during the awfulness of 2020.

There a guy who now sings with ELO 2 named Parthenon Huxley.

He put out this really terrific pop record in 1988 on Columbia called Sunny Nights.

You should get it. It's great.

As this song from said album will latest.

As usual, I played pretty much everything except for the piano and some backup vocals from the always super bitchin; Mike Simmons of SparklejetsUK (who can also be found on bandcamp. Seriously. Find this guys music. It's....really really great)

lyrics

I changed the ages to make a little more something I could relate to.

I fell in love when I was 21
I knew it was love, it was more fun than being alone
Maybe you know somebody who is falling in love right now
Smiling all the time, getting high, I bet a foot off the ground

I remember I needed no shoes in cold I hovered and glowed
People said to me "congratulations you were cold but now you're warm"
We made love together, she and I became one
We had double our numbers
We had doubled our numbers

At 23 I committed to learn
Never play with fire, love is pain and you'll only get burned
Maybe you know somebody who refuses to play with love
Always in control with affection seen as a weakness

I remember I needed no one to hold I held my own ground
People told me they heard accusations whispered all over town
I made love whenever it was easy. The lonely crowd
We had double our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
We have double our numbers

[BREAK]

When I turned 26 I knew
You give up on love and the next thing you know it'll come to you
Maybe you know somebody who has given up on love
May they wake up tomorrow in the arms of the one they've been dreaming of

When you're independent you can be free
But you're free from love and that's no way to be
When we have our problems, we won't ignore them, we will fight them toe-to-toe
We make love together, you and I have become one
We have double our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
We have double our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
Doubled our numbers
We have doubled our numbers
