about

This song is about my love affair with the clock radio I had as a kid. I would listen to it secretly in bed when I was supposed to be sleeping.

lyrics

“Thank You Radio”

The radio has always been my friend
Since I was 9 or 10
And I remember when
Do you?

On a little table beside my head
As I would lay in bed
And every word they said
Was true

Did they speak to you?
And did you hear them too?

Thank you for putting up the music
The kind that makes us want to dance
Thank you for putting up the music
The kind that makes us clap our hands

I remember a scene when I was seventeen
In the back of your father’s limousine
With you

A psychedelic dream
or something in between
where our admiration for the ones who moved us grew

Did they speak to you?
And did you hear them too?

Thank you for putting up the music
The kind that makes us want to dance
Thank you for putting up the music
The kind that makes us clap our hands

Thank you for putting up the music
Thank you thank you radio
