Saturday’s Song: I Go To Extremes

Good evening!  Before I get started, I want to apologize for being so late with this today.  Originally, I started the post in the morning.  However, the day took off before I was able to finish and hit the “publish” button.

I also need to announce a change of plans:  I’m going to move Saturday’s Songs to Facebook only… unless there’s a special story to go along with it, then I’ll post it here as well.  Otherwise, if it’s just music, you can find the video on my page.  There’s lots of other good stuff on the page too:  articles, quotes, pictures with text on them and links to blog posts (for those of you not subscribed by email).  Check it out… if you don’t like what you see, let me know.  I’m open to suggestions for improvement 😉

Today’s song came as a suggestion from a regular reader.  It’s one of my favorite Billy Joel songs… when it’s on the radio, I find myself spinning to volume knob to the right and driving a little faster.  Do you?  Here’s I Go To Extremes….

 I Go To Extremes (written by Billy Joel)

Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I’m totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I’m in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I’m going too fast
I don’t know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it’s only tonight
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low, there ain’t no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall, it’s all or nothing at all
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes
Sometimes I’m tired, sometimes I’m shot
Sometimes I don’t know how much more I’ve got
Maybe I’m headed over the hill
Maybe I’ve set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take

until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low, there ain’t no in-betweens
You can be sure when I’m gone I won’t be out there too long
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes

Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I’m wrong or I’m perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

And if I stand or I fall, it’s all or nothing at all
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes
No, I don’t know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low, there ain’t no in-betweens
You can be sure when I’m gone I won’t be out there too long
Darling I don’t know why I go to extremes

I don’t know why, I don’t know why
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
Out in the dark, into the light

Either I’m wrong, perfectly right
I don’t know why
