Songs that made me Cry - Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby

Joyce never saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but she enjoyed this tune. I've heard it 50 times since 2020, mostly per Jake Rudh and on American Top 40 on KOWZ on Sunday afternoons. It's a lot to do with her, but also nostalgia I 1st seeing Fast Times in HS in the early 90's. Joyce wasn't huge into Jackson Browne, but this was an exception. It's romantic + 80's which Joyce loved.

It came on this past Sunday, and the earworm came to me this afternoon and then the grief trigger. 

Songs that Made Me Cry: Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance

Jake Rudh started playing the video for this song in 2020 on his video show “Transmission” on Twitch. It reminded me of 7th grade, and I how much I loved it.

I heard it again tonight on his show, and it reminded of my time with Joyce here at home, and it made me wish she was here with me again.

Not that she loved it so much, but the fact I got back into it with her just in recent years, here at home when he played it on Transmission. She was here with me. Why it hurts to remember that and remember several times it being played and watching it at home on a Saturday night with Joyce being here with me.

”Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch, don't mess with me

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a buffalo stance
We do the dive every time we dance"
