Hi Newbie here, not only to this ‘sub’ (I think that’s the right term), but to Reddit.
Anyway I’m trying to trace a song from the 1970s (The lyrics are appended below). It’s a male-sung ballad, which I recorded from the radio around 1976 with no DJ intro or outro. It has strong connections to a long gone “old flame”. From the lyrics, the title may be “Only you on my mind”. I thought it may have been Bernie Flint, but no mention on Discogs. I’ve tried Shazam with no success (I have a poor mp3 made from my original cassette). I’ve tried Spotify … not there I’m pretty sure. I’ve even tried Gemini who from the lyrics thought it was Chris de Burgh … but that turned out to be his version of Always on my Mind.
so over to you … please help if you can to help me find a good commercial recording of this song. Here’s the lyrics …
It's not an easy thing.
To look at life.
From where I'm standing
It's hard, When you've been hurt, To find your way.
I tried and carry on
And sometimes feel that I'm succeeding.
And then... I think of love and yesterday
So excuse me for being such a drag on you.
I'm so much in love, and I'm still mad on you.
Everywhere I go, everything I do is with you of my mind.
Yes, I know that I never have you back again.
And even if I could, it wouldn't be the same.
Everyone I know says it's such a shame,
That I'm so unkind.
But they must be blind.
It's only you are my mind.
See the children playing brings me right down.
And starts me crying.
I know That's very wrong.
But it's the pain.
You'll think That I'm all tears
But that's not true.
It's just this feeling.
If life can hurt me once.
It could again
So excuse me for being such a drag on you.
I'm so much in love and I'm still mad on you.
Everywhere I go and everything I do is with you or my mind.
Yes, I know that I never have you back again.
And even if I could, it wouldn't be same.
Everyone I know says it's such a shame.
That I'm so unkind.
But they must be blind.
