lyrics
I run a comb through my hair and step out in the street
and the city’s the color of flame in the midsummer heat
Jennifer, she’s got daddy’s car, she’s playing uptown on the stereo
we go cruising so close, the way they did long ago
we put the top down low beneath the moon in the sky
and the wind is so hot in our hair like a fire in July
Jennifer’s singing "Stand By Me" and she knows every single word by heart
was love always this good or could this be just the start?
turn the radio up for that sweet sound
hold me close never let me go
keep this feeling alive, make me lose control
when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
the fever’s hot with the lights down low
take me over the edge, make me lose control
"Be My Baby" come on and we’re moving in time
and the heat from your touch makes me feel like I’m losing my mind
and then they play "Back in My Arms Again"
we close our eyes, we start remembering when
and then we kiss and the feeling’s intense
and we just pray that this night never ends
turn the radio up for that sweet sound
hold me close never let me go
keep this feeling alive, make me lose control
when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
the fever’s hot with the lights down low
take me over the edge, make me lose control. make me lose control
turn the radio up
turn the radio up
turn the radio up

These recordings feel knowingly classic but gently break through to make their own impression. Truly well crafted/produced songs with the right blend of skilled instrumentation and expressive lyricism. Mary of Rain and Tickets and Tapes are my favorites. a leaf
