This is the first of a little personal project I’ve been wanting to do forever – cover some of the killer late 70’s power pop and punk that really made an impact on me during a time when I lived in the middle of nowhere and the only radio we could pull in clearly was WLS out of Chicago in the thick of the disco era.

Shoes were one of those bands that I’ll never understand why they didn’t dominate the charts. Every single song was a master class in tight songwriting, incredible harmonies and perfectly balanced teen angst. The fact that they recorded most of their stuff in a home-built studio in Zion IL way back then, -and- those recordings still sound incredible to me is one of the things that made me want to have a studio of my own one day. Love these guys. I highly recommend you look them up.

Tomorrow Night – Jeff Murphy/Gary Klebe

Don’t say goodbye
‘Cause you’re the one that I need
Don’t say goodbye
You know you’re special to me

All the time, tell me why, all the time

I can’t show what I feel
do you know what I mean
I get restless inside every night

What do you say
Wait ’til tomorrow night
How can I wait
until tomorrow night

Don’t let it die
Just say to me that you’ll try
Don’t let it die
Just think it over tonight

All your love, is enough, all your love

It’s so hard to tell
though I know you so well
If you show me then I’d know for sure

How do you feel
about tomorrow night
It could be real
so right tomorrow night

Don’t say goodbye
‘Cause you’re the one that I need
Don’t let it die
You know you’re special to me

All your love, is enough, all your love

I can’t show what I feel
do you know what I mean
I get restless inside in the night

Where will we be
this time tomorrow night
Will it be me
you love tomorrow night

What will you say
tomorrow night
How can I wait
tomorrow night

Just a few more hours
tomorrow night
Why do you say
tomorrow night
Please think it over
tomorrow night
