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
