Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Who, Whitney Houston, Whitesnake… What a Wonderful World, Words, What About Me, Whiskey Lullaby…Waltz, woodwind, Wurlitzer, Wicked… who should I listen to first?
This post will not be what I originally envisioned. I learned back on the letter T that I cannot share music unless I have a premium plan over the free one. I apologize that you will not be able to hear this.
About a million years ago… ok. It really wasn’t that long ago, more like 35-36 years ago. I have talked about some of my favorite local musicians before. There was one band where I friended the guitar player and we talked often. Long story short, I gave him a few of my lyrics I had written in my love of writing with hopes he might find one acceptable as a song.
A few months later he sent me a cassette tape (I did say this was a while ago) and he had added a few lyrics and altered just a couple of words and set it to music! It was such a rush to hear words I had written actually sung. I think he did a great job on it and I did eventually switch it to a CD and would share the song here if I could. Since I don’t have that ability, here are a couple of the other songs I have listed along with my original lyrics that provided the seed for “We Tamed the Night.”
We’ll Tame This Night
I know it’s wrong
but it feels so right
and with that look in his eyes
I’ll believe all of his lies
because before too long
together we’ll tame this night
***
I was sitting at the bar
when he walked in.
He was alone like me
and he flashed me a grin.
Before he sat down with me
I bought him a drink
and after we’d talked awhile
my mind began to think.
***
that I know it’s wrong
but it feels so right
and with that look in his eyes
I’ll believe all of his lies
because before too long
together we’ll tame this night
***
We drove through town
and he showed me each sight,
all the wonders of the city
brightened at night.
Then as he parked the car
with a smile on his face
my mind had doubts
but I knew this was the place.
***
And I knew it was wrong
but it felt so right
and with that look in his eyes
I believed all of his lies
because it didn’t take too long
until together we tamed this night.
