Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio

The Flame by The Black Keys

I'm not a fan of the radio, idiot disc jockies playing the same track over and over--it's not my style, although I do like KROQ, but I digress. The songs you want to hear never get played and if the band isn't pariculalry well know...your chances of hearing it on the radio wave are eve slimmer.

To me, The Black Keys have the perfect cross country road trip vibe. Why wouldn't their songs be played? They're bluesy and American and just amazing.

Out of all the things
You've ever done
This time I can't go back
When a heart gets broke
This many times
It's easy to lose track
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh the
flame

Like a dreamer needs
Time with you
So unreal, baby
And
all our life
Love for me
Is what you feel
Takin' all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh the flame

Greater men
Have made it here
Only to turn back
So cut me loose
If you want
Or tighten up the slack
Takin' all this pain
And you know we can't
regain
The flame, oh the flame
