I was very surprised this evening to hear a familiar song coming from the television. I headed into our family room just in time to see that they were using an old Sam Philips (formerly Leslie Philips) song to back an ad for perfume or something.
Strange choice of song I thought.
They were playing a couple of grabs from her 1994 song I Need Love.
I love the lyrics of the song. (By now you’ve probably guessed that I get into lyrics in a big way.)
I NEED LOVE [Sam Philips]
I left my conscience like a crying child
Locked the doors behind me put the pain on file
Broken like a window I see my blindness now
I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need God
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love
Driving into town tired and depressed
Like a flare the streetlight bursts an S.O.S.
Peace comes to my rescue I don’t know what it means
I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need God
Not the political church
I need fire
To melt the frozen sea inside me
I need love
