Name That Tune

This week the theme is to find songs with recognizable intros suggested by Clive from Take It Easy.

***

There are so many songs with cool intro music. I always thought I’d be good at that game ‘Name That Tune’ just by the first few notes I hear.

This song has a great intro to it, very memorable, and it plays throughout the song, too.

This song today is a favorite of mine since 1976. I have lots of memories from hearing this. Here’s a few: In 1976 I was expecting my first baby, I had morning sickness, I even threw up in the K-Mart parking lot one time, I ate lemon drop candies to settle my stomach, I craved real lemons, peel and all, we drove a big green car with black top, we lived on 64th street … on an on with the memories of that time, and hearing this song on the radio during it all. 🙂

From a Wiki article:

“Love Is Alive” is a song by Gary Wright taken from the 1975 album The Dream Weaver. It features Wright on vocals and keyboards and Andy Newmark on drums, with all music except for the drums produced on the keyboards. The album’s title cut and “Love Is Alive” both peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[1] “Love Is Alive” spent 27 weeks on the chart, seven weeks longer than “Dream Weaver”. Billboard ranked “Love Is Alive” as the No. 9 song of 1976.

Well I think it’s time to get readyTo realize just what I have foundI have lived only half of what I amIt’s all clear to me now
My heart is on fireMy soul’s like a wheel that’s turnin’My love is alive, my love is alive, yeah, yeah, yeah
There’s something insideThat’s making me crazyI’ll try to keep it together‘Cause what I say may not happen the same way Now could be forever
My heart is on fireMy soul’s like a wheel that’s turnin’My love is alive, my love is alive, yeah, yeah, yeah
There’s a mirror moving inside my mindReflecting the love that you shine on meHold on now to that feeling Let it flow, let it grow, yeah, yeah
My heart is on fireMy soul’s like a wheel that’s turnin’My love is alive, my love is alive, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thanks, Hugh, for hosting this most fun challenge! 🙂

So, here we are on the second week of this challenge. There are lots of great songs from the past to choose from, but it’s just one a week we will post. When I’m looking for a song, I seem to find more and more that I like, so I have to stop and listen to them all. Good memories! 🙂

Here’s what I chose for today. It is “Love Is Alive”, by Gary Wright. This was released in 1976, on his album, “Dream Weaver”, which was also the title of another of his songs.

I love the music, especially the bass notes. When this came out, I was expecting my first child, we had an old Chevrolet, 2-door, black over green in color. This song reminds me of all that. 🙂
