Normally during our commute to school, my teens like to listen to the contemporary pop. I go along to get along. This morning, I decided I wanted to listen to my Sirius XM 60s and 70s old school music. Frankie Valli’s ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ came on the radio.
You serious old schoolers out there know these songs and their beautiful lyrics. I looked in the rear view mirror and see my teen girl in tears. Long story short, she has a school girl crush on a boy, and the lyrics were the catalyst that brought out her feelings. One has to be made out of stone not feel something when you hear a song that says can’t take my eyes off you, you're just too good to be true. Sigh and clutch the heart……..
I'm no prude, not by a long shot even though I'm an older mom. My kids cringe when I dance and sing to Call Me Maybe or Swagger Jagger. Yep, I know all the words.
So, where are today’s lyrics like some of the fabulous old school songs? I mean older old school. The lyrics that touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes over some one you like/love.
