What are you listening to in 2022

My Righteous Brothers CD played in the shop today
I took a break during Ebb Tide

Intrigued me

I always loved the orchestral versions

Had to research the author of the lyrics

Ebb Tide by Frank Sinatra - Songfacts

Pretty fascinating

"When he opened the paper to check the day's listings, his eye was immediately captured by an ad for From Here To Eternity, the film that jump-started Frank Sinatra's flagging career. The image in the ad was not of the Chairman of the Board, however, but of the famous scene in which Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr are locked in an embrace on the beach as the tide washes over them."

I have a feeling Deborah Kerr captured many eyes.

Yeah

and

'The lyrics suddenly poured out with scarcely a moment of reflection'

I do get that
I fancy myself a word butcher
I'm no Carl Sigman, but I've written some things
and when it comes, it comes fast
I can hardly keep up with the keystrokes, both forefingers pecking at the keyboard
....often into the night and the next day
