May 11 - Somebody's In Love


Released 25 years ago today, this album features Cooleys first (imo) love song recorded w/ the DBT and shows off the songwriter he would become, where you can climb in and inhabit the life of the characters in his songs so completely.

Coming home with a bottle, trying not to break the seal.
This Friday evening traffic's about enough to break a man's will.
And I can't wait to see you and see how your week has gone,
And tear into Old No.7 and make love till dawn.

But your Mama she'll be calling, if she ain't knocking on the door.
And it won't take me long to remember what I brought that bottle home for.

My grandma had two movies that she loved, Gone With The Wind and this. She took a few of us grandkids to see this performed live as a play at the Fox theater in Detroit when I was probably six. The theater still is etched into my mind for how awesome it is inside.
