Hi Jaynie, here's my selection for Share your TUNES and WIN the post earnings! - TRACK OF THE WEEK! (ROUND 21).
This classic Holland–Dozier–Holland tune from 1970, is a all time favorite of mine, with my 30th anniversary a couple of days away the title "band of gold" seems slightly apt. Although lyrically it's about a unsuccessful relationship and mine has been pretty good. Iv'e always like the build of frustration in the delivery of this song, the line "since you've been gone" starts lightly but there a subtle through the teeth anger that grows throughout the course of the tune. Gotta love the funky 70's moves and outfits.
Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams i hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
You took me from the shelter of my mother
I have never known or loved another
We kissed after taking vows
That night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams i hold
Band of gold
And memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Don't you know that i wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left are the dreams i hold
Band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before.
