Heart Of Glass



On This Day In 1979 Blondie's Heart of Glass Goes Platinum

 "Heart Of Glass"

Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out had a heart of glass

Seemed like the real thing, only to find

Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind

Much of mistrust, love's gone behind



In between

What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind

If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good

You teasing like you do



Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out had a heart of glass

Seemed like the real thing, only to find

Much of mistrust, love's gone behind



Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind

Much of mistrust, love's gone behind



Lost inside

Adorable illusion and I cannot hide

I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside

We could've made it cruising, yeah



Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light



Once I had a love and it was a gas

Soon turned out I had a heart of glass [radio version]

Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass [album version]

Seemed like the real thing only to find

Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

There is nothing quite like a well written song..

I spent the day researching some great songwriters

Freddie Mercury

Elton John & Bernie Taupin

Axle Rose

John Lennon.....

I was touched & saddened by taking another look at just how affected

people were when Aids became an epidemic in the early 80's

How it was considered Gay Cancer..that a notable physician would be quoted

as saying there was no point to finding a cure, after all the world would be better off

with a few less fags.. look at us now..look at Africa..it breaks my heart...

Elton John called his decision to become sober and stay sober

"one of my greatest lifes achievements."

He wrote the song Someone Saved My Life Tonight about his plight

which can bring tears to my eyes if I let it.

A great song is one in which moves you, makes you understand better what is going on,

makes you take a look at yourself, your lover,

speaks truth when there isn't any...

And Debbie Harry is this kind of songwriter..

I think any woman in love can relate to this song..

She still rocks today just as she did 30 plus years ago..
