And so is Christmas. In NYC, we have a bunch of very big radio stations, one of the biggest, WPLJ, has been playing Christmas music since Thanksgiving. Overkill? Maybe. But at least you know where to go for some Christmas tunes.
Anyway, there has been a song called Same old ange syne by Dan Fogelberg on alot lately.
Does anyone else know the song. It doesn't sound like a holiday song, apparently it is though.
Gotta love my random topics.

Devo, I'm not sure I've heard this song on the radio. Is this it though? Lyrics are not making me want to hear it either.
Dan Fogelberg
Same Old Lang Syne
by Unknown Met my old lover in the grocery store The snow was falling Christmas Eve I stood behind her in the frozen foods And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first But then her eyes flew open wide She went to hug me and she spilled her purse And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand The food was totaled up and bagged We stood there lost in our embarrassment As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two But couldn't find an open bar We bought a six-pack at the liquor store And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect Who kept her warm and safe and dry She would have liked to say she loved the man But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her And that her eyes were still as blue But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I Saw doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record stores And that I must be doing well I said the audience was heavenly But the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to time Reliving in our eloquence Another 'auld lang syne'
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired And running out of things to say She gave a kiss to me as I got out And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home The snow turned into rain

Devolution here,
Valley, that's the song. Fairly depressing. You have heard it, I guarantee, they play it all the time.

That is a great song, I love it. It is very bitter-sweet. Everyone has been there & done that, I think...where you wonder..what if?? And you run in to someone from your past and it is nice to see them again, but you don't know what to talk about, but your glad to see them, and you wonder what happened to them, if they had a good life, if they were happy. I love the words!!
