Thirty Years Ago

This afternoon I listened to
MIXED_BAG on our local public radio station,
WBJB and Pete Fornatale was interviewing Peter Frampton. It made me feel very nostalgic. Frampton Comes Alive was one of the first albums I bought as a kid. It remains the largest selling live album ever to this day. I cannot believe he wrote this song....30 years ago:
BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

Its still such a beautiful song. I know its been over played and redone a million times...but the original still makes me wax nostalgic for 8th grade. I remember when I bought the album...I rushed over to my cousin Jeannies house...I had to babysit for her that afternoon and begged her to let me play it on her stereo. She agreed and hated it. I loved it and still have a big crush on Peter Frampton. Even though he grossed me out in the 80's with his satin outfits...well, that wasnt his fault. BESIDES...THE DARKNESS is making a big splash copying is 80's look. hehe.

I didnt know that he was the "authenticity advisor" on the movie "Almost Famous" and that he wrote 3 songs for the soundtrack. He looks so different now...he allowed himself to age, which I admire. Anyway...his latest CD
NOW sounded really fine. I will buy it.
