Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 8
July 6, 2022

Yacht Rock Arrives!!


Okay, I admit that I had to look it up. Just what is Yacht Rock? (to the internet we go):
"Yacht rock is a broad music style and aesthetic commonly associated with soft rock, one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s."

Sounds like I had been listening to it for years and never knew it. There have already been a few included in earlier LS 2022 lists.

Below are 14 yacht rock jams that fit the definition.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist

1. Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me

2. As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

3. Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight

4. Not quite a year since you went away

5. See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

6. All day long, I'm wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

7. When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

8. C'mon and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know

9. We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me

10. It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old

11. Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay

12. Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got
Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight and turn a "Maybe" to a "Yes"
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess

13. But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on, baby

14. Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day, from your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love

What a fool believes, Doobie Brothers

3. Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight

This is it

4. Not quite a year since you went away

Rosanna, Toto

5. See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

I don't know if this will work, but a particularly loud peal of thunder worries me greatly. I am going to post this, then return later and edit it. Hope this works . . .

It worked! So far, so good.

Summer Breeze, Seals and Crofts

6. All day long, I'm wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

7. When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

Your kiss, I can't resist. Something like that.

8. C'mon and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know

9. We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me

There's a great line in this song -- "There's a warm wind blowing the stars around .. ."

I'd really love to see you tonight.

10. It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old

11. Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay

12. Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got
Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight and turn a "Maybe" to a "Yes"
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess

13. But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on, baby

The Boys of Summer, Don Henley

14. Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day, from your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love

Yacht Rock Arrives!!


Okay, I admit that I had to look it up. Just what is Yacht Rock? (to the internet we go):
"Yacht rock is a broad music style and aesthetic commonly associated with soft rock, one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s."

Sounds like I had been listening to it for years and never knew it. There have already been a few included in earlier LS 2022 lists.

Below are 14 yacht rock jams that fit the definition.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist

1. Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me

Sailing - Christopher Cross


2. As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

What a Fool Believes - Doobies


3. Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight

This Is It - Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald


4. Not quite a year since you went away

Rosanna - Toto


5. See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts


6. All day long, I'm wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

nope


7. When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why

Kiss on My List - Hall & Oates


8. C'mon and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know

Steal Away -


9. We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me

I'd Really Love to See You Tonight - England Dan & John Ford Coley


10. It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growin' old

Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan


11. Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay

I Can’t Tell You Why - Eagles


12. Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got
Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight and turn a "Maybe" to a "Yes"
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess

Lowdown - Boz Scaggs


13. But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on, baby

The Boys of Summer - Don Henley


14. Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day, from your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
