See you on the way up (On the way down)

Artist- Jenny & Johnny
Song of the day- Switchblade

I heard this song for the first time four years ago standing front row at one of my fav LA bars with some of my fav LA people, pretty much thrilled about life. There is very little that makes me happier than watching these two people perform, which means tonight I'm going to be quite ecstatic. Much has changed in the last four years with life's ups and downs, but to quote another great Lewis tune "you are what you love" and my endearing one sided relationship with their music has stuck with me as the heart of my ever beating love for music. Sure there are better written songs, better melodies, better live performers. But there is something about their music that is just me at my best and at my worst. So here is to you and your loves that stay with you on the way up and on the way down.





It's the one long year of Saturday nights
In the city of a million suns
Sleeping through the afternoon
With your latest only one
You had her every way from Sunday
And on Monday morning too

You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

See you on the way up
(On the way down)
See you on the way down
(On the way up)
See you on the way up
(On the way) down
Ah ahhh
Ah ahhh

It was poverty that kept you sweet
And dreams that kept you young
The money started rolling in
You stopped having any fun

You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat

You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

See you on the way up
(On the way down)
See you on the way down
(On the way up)
See you on the way up
(On the way) down
Ah ahhh
Ah ahhh

You used to dine out on a dollar
With a switchblade in your coat
You had your young mind in the gutter
You had your feet on the ground

See you on the way up
(On the way down)
See you on the way down
(On the way up)
See you on the way up
(On the way) down
Ah ahhh
