A song about love in the age of FM Radio - 1978 Just me (C) 2017

A loose des_c_r_i_p_tion of a night I remember from my youth.

Lyrics: Lighting lit a purple sky, and thunder rolled behind He counted seconds, three, four miles Rented powder blue tuxedo, high school prom in mind The boy hoped that the storm would quickly pass on by As he drove to pick her up, he ran fantastic pictures in his mind Would he be the same tomorrow, would he leave the boy he was behind At the door her Father's grip was more than shaking hands Had the older, wiser man divined the lover's plans (Chorus) To make love to the radio Love to the radio Love to the music of those days Those Radio Days Radio Days At the prom the dancers hustled; disco, colored lights and careless laughter Rum spiked punch in Dixie cups Lovers felt that giddy rush that comes but once in love's first ever after Leaving later, clinging closely, remnants in the air and streets of rain Early storm had passed, brilliant stars mute witness as they drove away They parked up in the hills outside of town Tuned in summer music, moonlight all around She smiled, shook her pretty head, and let her shining hair tumbe down (Chorus) And they made love to the radio Love to the radio Love to the music of those days Those radio days Radio days Do you recall I still recall Those radio days, we had them one and all Radio days, radio days......... x

Song Comments Eve Turns on the Radio songwriter new to IMP, this song has a lot of heart, and reminds of Neil Young in some ways.
