Derek (Old Ghosts)

SPB: What is the best TV theme song?

Derek: It would have to the Cheers theme (I know I’m showing my age). Some of the lyrics hit me & I find them quite relatable. Also, the piano is quite catchy.

Here’s some lyrics with my comments:

“Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.” 

(Hell yeah it does)

“Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. “ 

(we all need an escape. For me it’s music & being around friends)

“Wouldn't you like to get away? “

(Yup)

“Sometimes you want to go 

Where everybody knows your name, 

and they're always glad you came. 

You wanna be where you can see, 

our troubles are all the same.

You wanna be where everybody knows 

Your name.” 

(Not everyone needs to know my name but I sure am missing live music & the scene that surrounds it. Though, our troubles aren’t all the same but we all have them.)

Crow
State of Mind (2020)

My pores are becoming more visible as well, and my skin doesn't have the same spongey, moist quality to it that I remember it having in my early twenties. And of … Read more
