First Vinyl Meme

SpiritsHavingFlown.jpgIt seems that I've been tagged by Big White Hat with a silly meme. I think this one really is going to show my age because it asks which record we first spent money on.

Well, here it is, The Bee Gees "Spirits Having Flown." I bought it because of the song "Tragedy:"

Here I lie
in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin'home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're
goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're
goin' nowhere
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

Night and day
there's a burning down inside of me
Burning love
With a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
and I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you loving

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you're
goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you you're
goin' nowhere


Mostly I just remember it was something I had saved up for a long time. My brother and father both had a whole bunch of records and I was only allowed to borrow them once in awhile. But this one was mine and I had earned the money (from delivering newspapers) to buy it myself. And yes, I do still own this record -- but every other record I own fits better into the "rock" category...

1 Not to make you feel old or anything, but I've never bought anything on vinyl. They had cassettes and CDs when I was growing up!

3 Oh, for a moment there, I thought you were talking about the kind of vinyl you WEAR!!! (Well, c'mon, Ogre, after the recent chitchat over on SPR?! *snicker*)

Wow. Records... It's been a LONG time, but one of my earliest acquisitions on vinyl was Manfred Mann's Earth Band "The Roaring Silence." I HAD to have "Blinded by the Light," and ended up also liking "Singing the Dolphin Through" on the same album.

Geeze I feel old... *giggle*
