Original inspiration: "BB King was Wrong," by John Gorka.
Vinyl Text Messages for the Heartbroken (February 18, 2022)
BB King was right, the thrill dissolved last night
When you slammed the door I felt a huge relief
I know you won’t be back, so I put on “Back in Black”
In Angus Young I find my true belief
(Refrain) I need to find a record now to tell me how to feel
I shiver and I shake….but how to know if love is real?
Peggy Lee was wrong, the Fever hardly strong
I can’t see what I once saw in you at all
Neil Young’s Heart of Gold, would never grow this cold
I’ll see you rarely now, or never — it’s your call.
(Refrain) I hope that I can find true love here in my record stacks
These musos map my heart in ways my own discernment lacks
Van Morrison was mistaken, this Moondance already taken
It’s a fantabulous night for shattering a heart
Where’s time go? - Ms. Denny wondered, while our love affair was sundered
And time is what has broken us apart.
(Refrain) I might need to write my own song now to guide my new liaisons
That might stand the test of time and rise to all occasions.
