defrogAs I’ve mentioned before, I bought most of my 45s between the ages of ten and 17, at a time when most of my musical knowledge was informed by whatever was on Top 40 radio at the time.
Consequently, there’s more than a few 45s that I listen to now and wonder just what I was thinking at the time.
Which brings us to Little River Band.
They were from Melbourne, Australia, but they slotted in pretty well with the mellow soft-rock sound that was dominating the charts in the late 70s – Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, etc. In fact, it seems the late 70s was a good time for Australian acts like Olivia Newton-John and Air Supply to make it big in America, so why not LRB?
Anyway, I had this on 45.
Listening to it now, I’m not sure what I saw in it at the time. It’s catchy, I suppose. But you can definitely file it under “songs I haven’t listened to since high school”.
Don't be thinking that I don’t want you,
This is dF
