Emphasis on Album Acts

This week the theme is to find a song that was played on the British TV Show Old Grey Whistle Test

At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to join in this week because I had never heard of this show and at first look I didn’t recognize any of the songs or even the artists. I have Spotify though, so I went through almost all of the songs and realized there were a lot of them I knew. So, I just had to pick one….

Lyrics

Don’t you feel it growing, day by day
People getting ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play

What the people need
Is a way to make ’em smile
It ain’t so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don’t you ask me why

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We’ll be happy
And we’ll dance
Oh, we’re gonna dance our blues away
And if I’m feeling good to you
And you’re feeling good to me
There ain’t nothing we can’t do or say
Feeling good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
Listening for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time

Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
Whoa, listen to the music
All the time
