Today's theme is ROAD.As soon as I saw it, two songs from two very different performers popped into my head. All these two have in common is that they are both deeply romantic and fiercely independent American originals … and they're both from New Jersey.
We're drinking, my friend, to the end of a brief episode. So make it one for my baby, and one more for the road … Frank Sinatra of Hoboken, "One for My Baby"
I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken. Tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken … Bruce Springsteen of Asbury Park, "Thunder Road"

wonderful choice for Road! I'm not sure if I've heard the Frank Sinatra song yet. Have a great Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Bon Jovi is from New Jersey too, and they just released "Lost Highways" ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey two great songs. Good job coming up with both and I love the "independent american original" comment, so perfect.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Great choices! :)
ReplyDeletemememistress huh? LOL :)
ReplyDeleteOne For My Baby.. Did you sing Bette Midler sing that to Johnny Carson on the last Tonight Show? It was so memorable.
Love both these songs. I actually choked up when I read the Springsteen lines.
ReplyDeleteI love springstein a lot. Born In the USA is one of my favorite albums.
