So I have been re-obsessed with Daryl Hall lately like I was in my childhood. Butch Walker had made me swoon when he all of a sudden started to cover Rich Girl a few years back. I remember my dad got me Big Bam Boom (I think that was the name) when I was in elementary school. It was one of the only cool music tapes he ever got me on his own. Anyway, after Butch Walker tweeted that he was on one of the episodes of Daryl's show, "Live at Daryl's House", I became beset again. I always loved Daryl's music and so did Paul (which is actually shocking to me). Anyway, we meant to try and see him if he ever played around. It just didn't happen in his lifetime. I watched the song Butch did with Daryl, "Why Was it so Easy" over and over and over and the complexity and chord progressions of that song are incredible. I never noticed that before. I was more into the more commerical songs. Then, I found out that my sister in law was on the label that did one of Hall and Oates's albums. When they were recording the song "Adult Education" they called her in to do some background with a few others so it would sound like school girls. She met both Daryl and John and was impressed. Now I am engrossed with the song "Sara Smile". Never really paid attention to its complexity before and had previously thought it a boring song. Now I see the genious in it...
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
And when I feel I can't go on, you come and hold me
It's you and me forever.....
Paul, no matter what, you will be forever embedded in my heart. You will never lose your place.
PS- the title is from "Why was it so Easy" by Daryl Hall.
