Today is the birthday of Alan Silson, the guitarist of Smokie, he is 72 years old.
(I wanted to share with you the video that I made, but it turned out to be impossible, so the photos)

Love(?) Songs for the lonely from a future playlist
She's the prettiest girl at the party.. frankiero and the cellabrations// why am I the one fun.// 2000 light years away Green Day// Whistle for the Choir The Fratellis// Solitaire The Carpenters// Favorite Liar The Wrecks// In the middle of a lonely dream Smokie// I Miss You Blink-182// La Lune Madeon// Mercury Sleeping at last
[text, in order:
1. You say you never wanna be saved/ Well, that's okay 'cause I wouldn't know how/ Just know that the best that I'll ever be/ Is whatever you make me and wherever you are
2. I got enough on my mind/ That when she pulls me by the hair/ She hasn't much to hold onto/ She keeping count on her hand/ One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side
3. I sit outside and watch the sunrise/ Lookout as far as I can/ I can't see her, but in the distance/ I hear some laughter, we laugh together/ I hold my breath and close my eyes and/ Dream about her/'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
4. And it's four in the mornin' and I'm walkin' along/ Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong/ And it's you, woo-hoo/ That's got me goin' crazy for the things you do
5. And solitaire's the only game in town/ And every road that takes him/ Takes him down/ And by himself it's easy to pretend/ He'll never love again
7. Can you be so sure of love?/ Can you stop my heart from breaking
6. I remember waking up in Colorado/ You said that it was raining/ I tried to hide away, but you said no/ You made me love the rain
9. I would never change what our past is/ Written in our bones, it's who we are
8. And as I stare, I counted/ The webs from all the spiders/ Catching things and eating their insides/ Like indecision to call you/ And hear your voice of treason/ Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?/ Stop this pain tonight./ Don't waste your time on me, you're already/ The voice inside my head
10. God knows, I am dissonance/ Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune/ I'll go anywhere you want/ Anywhere you want/ Anywhere you want me]
"And then, there was something in the water..."
One of my players snatches up the actor xp point for this show-stopper of a monologue describing their wolf's first encounter with the Meat Puppets.
edit: That and my computer crashed in the middle of it. This is why you always have someone else recording!

Smokie: *sips hot cocoa* so... Fluffy. If you had to pick a favorite drink what would it be?
Fluffy: Hot chocolate! Oh wait, am I just saying that because you are drinking it now? No, I really love hot chocolate! It's sweet and delicious and you get to drink marshmallows! And if you put some licorice in it, it really makes it taste better! Deeeelicious!!
He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
The words were music as she turned away
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemed like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
A summer morning on Les Champs-Élysées
The empty table in the street café
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
'Cause Jean-Claude has left to face another day
Songwriter:
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
