I remember the first time when I first heard Christopher Cross play was when my brother picked me up from school and he played one of his song on the car radio. The moment I heard it, I was hooked. His first album was so good that I never got tired of listening to it through the years. The fact that his songs are still beingplayed in various stations is a testament to the quality of his music which has endured through the years. I had a lot of favorites songs that I still like listening to from his first album. This is one of them called "Never Be The Same".
This song also talks about lost love which was very prevalent during the 70's and 80's. I admit the difference about this song is that although it talks about a painful break-up, you can help but feel good for some reason. Even though it's a sad topic, it make you feel good as you listen to it. I like the part when he's tells her that no one will touch me the way that she did that very first day.
It's very ironic that for a sad song, it has a lot of groove and makes you want to do dance to it.
Although Cross was able to come up with other great songs, he was never able to match the same intensity of the songs in his first album. Be that as it may, I still like listening to his old songs which are mainstays of 24k as well as other stations. Not too loud and soothing to the soul is how I describe his songs. You could never go wrong with any of the songs in his first album. It was great to listen to then, it's still great to listen to now.
