The Bakelite Dial - Super Star band And turn the heavy bakelite dial at a gentle pace The needle sweeps across the band through all the static noise Until I catch the melody of long forgotten boys The copper wire antenna reaches out into the night Catching the distant signal in the amber yellow light I write the frequencies down on a faded paper sheet And feel the happy rhythm of an old familiar street It brings the energy of nineteen-eighty-three When we were standing on the hill so wild and free Before the busy world began to hurry us along Inside the quiet power of a simple summer song the radio speaker fills the hallway with the sound that gets our heavy boots a-tapping on the ground it brings the magic of an early summer night and turns the simple room into a living light The brassy knobs are glowing in the soft and cozy shade Where all the finest harmonies were once so proudly made We stack the wooden chairs away against the hallway wall And watch the golden shadows dance across the quiet hall The vacuum tubes are warming up to drive the chill away And keep the heavy worries at the ending of the day I slide the window open wide to let the air come in And watch the quiet magic of the evening time begin the station plays the anthem of our early days through all the misty morning rain and city haze it keeps the spirit moving forward brave and strong to celebrate the quiet power of a song and through the long and distant miles that lay between the years the music wipes away the dust of old forgotten tears it gives the courage that we need to take another step and keeps the simple promises that we have always kept the airwaves carry back the freedom of our youth with all its honest energy and undisguised truth it lights the road ahead of us so very clear and bright and guides our steady footsteps through the coming of the night Keep that station tuned... The old rhythm never dies... We are finally free... #superstarband #eugenmusic #music #song - @eugenmusic
