Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Baby let's get out of here while the night's still young
I know a little place down by the river if we run
We'll follow the trail by light of the moon
But if we want to make it tonight, we'd better leave soon
'Cause it's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
Tonight under the stars when
I'll show you how my heart is
With you right there with me
Girl I'm so surprised with the way you are
I never thought that we could ever come this far
It's almost three, but I don't mind
If we want to stay here all night, that'll be fine
'Cause it's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
The way that you look in the water
And oh how the night gets hotter
With you right there with me
I know it's getting late, and you've got to go
But I just can't leave without kissing you just once more
It's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
This is my chance of a lifetime
This true romance by the moonlight
With you right there with me
I know a little place down by the river if we run
We'll follow the trail by light of the moon
But if we want to make it tonight, we'd better leave soon
'Cause it's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
Tonight under the stars when
I'll show you how my heart is
With you right there with me
Girl I'm so surprised with the way you are
I never thought that we could ever come this far
It's almost three, but I don't mind
If we want to stay here all night, that'll be fine
'Cause it's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
The way that you look in the water
And oh how the night gets hotter
With you right there with me
I know it's getting late, and you've got to go
But I just can't leave without kissing you just once more
It's the first day of summer and I've been
Wating all year for this moment
With you right there with me
This is my chance of a lifetime
This true romance by the moonlight
With you right there with me

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
