I know it's out of fashion, and a trifle uncool
But I can't help it, I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine, to watch the sun go down
On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday

È arrivato, il periodo più malinconico dell'anno, quest'anno ancora di più. But we will be back at our Echo Beach soon ❤️

This week's #StupidAccordionTrick is basically my Platonic ideal of summer pop music, #MarthaAndTheMuffins' #EchoBeach from 1980, a sweet slice of Canadian #newwave. https://youtu.be/1VHVk-dIRNo

Sometimes the choices by the Brain DJ are explainable, sometimes they come out of left field. Like the tune this morning, which I haven't listened to since the mid-eighties (I guess), but there it was, stuck in my memory and waiting for the Brain DJ to find it –

Martha and the Muffins, "Echo Beach" (1980)

It is, I admit, perfect eighties pop music …

Song of the Day - No 65

Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach

WIKI
Written by band member Mark Gane, it was released as a single from their album Metro Music in 1980 and went on to reach number 10 in the UK.

Echo Beach, as mentioned in the song, does not refer to a real beach,but rather a symbolic notion of somewhere the narrator would rather be, somewhere "far away in time

Hi there everyone! Every Tuesday I write about Canadian music. Specifically, I pick a song & tell the story of how it came to be, the meaning behind it & so on. I write under the banner of The Great Canadian Road Trip. For some reason, I am big with seniors. 😀Click away if so inclined. Welcome to my world.
