Today’s song streamed into my head after I thought of another song.
The other song was “Sara Smile”, by Hall and Oates, which I thought of after meeting a friend’s daughter named Sarah. After thinking about it while walking, I remembered “She’s Gone” by the same duo.
“She’s Gone” (1974) came out during a period of struggle in my relationship with my girlfriend. I’d graduated high school and she was traveling Europe with a nun. I felt lost, and ended up enlisting in the military, upsetting just about everyone I knew. That’s life, right? “She’s Gone” appealed to my sense of loss, frustration, searching, and self-pity. I particularly enjoyed the lyrics, “Think I’ll spend eternity in the city. Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away, yeah.”
What a time. Hormones, you know? Etc.

YAY!!! Yock! (Yacht Rock) I love this song. I like all of the older Hall & Oats stuff, they seem so much less like their trying to fit in like when they got big during the 80’s.

That’s a good summation of their later music. I pondered how to express it, but failed to find anything as accurate as your statement. They remained popular to many, but I thought they’d lost their way, myself.
