Sunday January 24, 2021 “The Only Thing” Travis/Susannah Hoffs

Sure I remember that we already had this Song of the Day just a few weeks back and with more than 260 songs on our list already we have only repeated one other tune and that was “Peace Train” at very appropriate moments,  but I just can’t stop listening to “The Only Thing” and cannot understand why it is not on the radio every day.

 We included this song the same weekend as “Can I Believe You” by Fleet Foxes which is the number five song for the year 2020 and “The Only Thing “ is just as solid a song as that, right?  OK, I am a sentimental fool for a cheesy, romantic pop duet like this, but really why isn’t this a big hit?

 Give it another listen and let me know if you think I am crazy,  If you think this is a great song call up your favorite radio station and demand that they start playing it.  If you disagree just send me a note and tell me to keep my musical opinions to myself.

 A disclaimer, I have no financial interests in this song, I do not know the band Travis or Susannah Hoffs although I have sent her several unreturned email messages. I have been contacted by Ms. Hoffs’ attorneys with a cease and desist notification. Also I don’t even own a jumpsuit...yet.

 Stay safe and well...and do cherish those people who are important to you, everyday.

La la la la la la la listen

La la la la la la listen to me

I'm reminiscing, reminiscing

And I'm missing how it used to be

They say when it hits you

You'll know that it's true

You'll know 'cause you feel it

Ooh-ooh

 When I held you it was the only thing

Only thing

And all I knew was you were everything

Everything

 You are the record in the record shop

Nobody wants to buy

You are the metaphor, the metaphor

The meta for the other guy

You call when you need it

You're nobody's fool

You take it, I leave it

Ooh-ooh

 When I held you, it was the only thing

Only thing

And all I knew was you were everything

Everything

 Don't lend me your heart

You'll only tear it apart

Apart

Apart

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

 When I held you, it was the only thing

Only thing

And all I knew was you were everything

Everything

When I held you, it was the only thing

Only thing

So why am I blue?
