My mental jukebox has awakened me with another 80s tune for you (and me, naturally). Today, it’s “Lean on Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)” by Red Box. From their amazing debut album The Circle and the Square, this song is an instant sing along classic. From 1985, I discovered this song while on business in London, England, as well (much like with yesterday’s track). Check it out!

Song of the Day (or So) #7
Nobody can sing like Limahl. Nobody. “Too Shy” (1983) was one of the most defining songs of my late childhood/early teens. Such a smooth, subtle arrangement with buttery vocals from the one and only Christopher Hamill (not related to Mark Hamill, most likely, although that would be rad!). Just the intro alone is worth the price of admission. If you can find it, pick up their album, White Feathers. It’s chock full of 80s awesomeness!
Song of the Day (or So) #3
Today, my mental jukebox selected this deeper cut from Freiheit’s Fantasy album (the album was also available in a German language version called Fantasie). This band, from Munich, Germany, is notable for their tight harmonies and lush arrangements, especially on this album. The primary hit from Fantasy in the USA was “Keeping the Dream Alive”, but the album has other notable tracks such as “Poor Little Boy”, this cut, and “Kissed You in the Rain” (a spectacular song in its own right!). Enjoy.
