I've been a bit occupied lately, first, about a week ago, with some sort of heavy cold, and then more recently with a bunch of matters I had to attend to. So, I've been regrettably away from the blog lately. So, I've been thinking of what would be a good return. .
How about this great 1984 song from Pat Benatar.
I remember listening to this song when I was a teen, and watching the video, and finding it so wonderfully hopeful. As a high school student at the time, at at time in my life when I was going through many of the doubts and questions and concerns that adolescents often face, this song brought hope. Of course, the lyrics are those of a love song, but the message could just as easily be interpreted in a more general way: that we all are part of the same life and the same world, and we should all belong.
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
I do enjoy her music and this is a good song. It's nice that it was one that gave you hopeful feelings. Sorry to hear that you were sick but I'm glad that you are better and back into the blogging. I was away from here for about 5 weeks so I have alot of catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteLaraAnn-- Pat Benatar was a true '80s star. It wouldnt have been the Eighties without her. Thanks for the kind words. Keeping up a blog can be difficult sometimes, and its just natural that sometimes you just need a break. Good to have you back....keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteHey, cruising the internet and found your site. Awesome! Love fans of the 80s. We have a new wave 80s band here on the West Coast (CA) called Flashback Heart Attack. Its pretty unique and have a different take as far as cover bands go. We play about 130 shows a year and do a ton of huge events and festivals.
