Flashback Friday Song of the Day - Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes

rbhsjukebox

If you were around in 1981, then you surely know this song.  Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes was everywhere that year, spending nine weeks at the top of the charts and winning two Grammys, for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.  The typically 80's, mid tempo keyboards combined with Carnes' raspy voice and of course the reference to those famous orbs of the iconic actress made this one irresistible, and when I caught it on Spotify the other day, I knew I had to share it.  Enjoy and Happy Friday! 

Song of the Day - Waves - Mr. Probz

My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground,
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Every time you are not around

I'm slowly drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting (drifting away)
And it feels like I'm drowning
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the stream

I wish I could make it easy
Easy to love me, love me
But still I reach 
To find a way
I'm stuck here in between
I'm looking for the right words to say

Oh, Spotify!  How did I not discover you earlier?  After hearing so much about Pandora and Spotify from people over the past couple of years, I finally decided to try the latter, only because I had more in common, musically speaking, with those who recommended the app, and I am loving it!  In just a week I've already picked up some great new stuff and it seems the possibilities are endless.  Here's one of the first tunes I discovered on Spotify.  It's a tune called Waves, and it's by Dutch recording artist Mr. Probz.  It's a very soothing, summer-type chill song and I love the singer's raspy voice and the steady island rhythms.  Check it out...
