The Song Stuck In My Head: “RIGHT NEXT DOOR (BECAUSE OF ME)” By ROBERT CRAY
“…I Heard Him Shout ‘Who Is He‘…
…She Mumbled Low…
…He Said ‘Baby Don’t You Lie To Me No More‘…
…And I’m Listening Through These Thin Walls…
…In Silence And Shame…
…As She Called-Out My Name…
…I Was Right Next Door…“
… … …
“…It’s Because Of Me…
…It’s Because Of Me…
…Because Of Me…
…It’s Because Of Me…“
… … …
“…She Was Right Next Door…
…And I’m…
…Such A Strong Persuader…
…Well She Was Just Another Notch On My Guitar…
…She’s Gonna Lose The Man That Really Loves Her…
…In The Silence I Can Hear Their Breaking Hearts. …“
… … …
“RIGHT NEXT DOOR (BECAUSE OF ME)” Is A Classic Classic Jam Off ROBERT CRAY‘s Classic Classic 1986 Album “STRONG PERSUADER“

I Got-In A Rather Pleasant Walk This Morning…
…And Was Going To Tell You About All The Great Music I Jammed To…
…But I Can’t Get This Song…
“RIGHT NEXT DOOR (BECAUSE OF ME)”
By ROBERT CRAY
…Out Of My Head.
It Happens Rather Often For A Particular Tune To Get On My Brain And NOT Wanna Get The Hell Off…
…So Having This Issue Yet Again Is Of No Surprise.
But Of All The Songs I Heard This Morning…
…WHY Is THIS SONG The ONE SONG That’s Stuck With Me, Thus Far???
It’s A Classic Jam, Fo SHO.
It’s One Of My Many Favorites From ROBERT CRAY…
…I Simply Don’t Get Why This Is The Song…
…Of All The Songs…
…That I’m STILL Humming Along To.
So…
…I Was Kinda Hoping That…
…Maybe Maybe Maybe…
…Maybe Blogging About It Would Help Me To Move-On.
Thus Far…
…I’m Meeting With Very Limited Success.
If You’ve Never Heard The Song…
…It Truly Is YOUR LOSS.
.Period.
Y’all Know I Love Me Some ROBERT CRAY…
…And BLUES MUSIC In General.
This Is One Of His MOST Bluesy-Blues Numbers EVER.
It’s A Song That Could Take Some Getting Warmed-Up-To, As It’s Not The Most Peppy/Upbeat Number Around.
But It’s A Damned Fine Song…
…And HIGHLY WORTHY Of Your Time For Listening Pleasure.
The Entire Album…
“STRONG PERSUADER“
(1986)
…Is Very Nearly PRICELESS.
It’s Considered To Be THE BEST ALBUM By ROBERT CRAY…
…And I’d Definitely Call It A True-Blue-GEM!
Maybe If You’d Take The Time To Listen To This Song…
“RIGHT NEXT DOOR (BECAUSE OF ME)”
…You’d Better Understand Where I’m Coming From…
…And You’d Realize How Addictive The Music Of ROBERT CRAY Can Truly Be.
ANYWAY…
…Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.
Trust Me…
…It IS Possible To Have A Good Day.
Always Remember…
“ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE UNTIL IT’S NOT!“
…As They Say.
A Personal Maxim I Have Always Tried To Take To Heart.
Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!

Went For A Nice Walk On A Cloudy Day…
…But I, Of Course, Had Music IN HAND!
I Remember My 1ST WALKMAN…
…I Had To Wear A Belt If I Wanted To Tote It Around.
Then The DISCMAN Really Sucked…
…Since I Never Found One That Really Really Meant It When It Said “SKIP-RESISTANT” or “ANTI-SKIP” Right Under The Name.
Now…
…With My MP3Player…
…I’ve Found MY Holy Grail.
Goes Anywhere.
Holds So Much Stuff.
Has A Long-Livin’ Battery.
And A Reset-Button If It Ever Screws-Up.
It’s Become Priceless To Me.
Much More So Than A Mobile-Phone.
Or A Pad.
Or Anything Ultra-Fancy.
I Just Need Something That Stores My Music, And Allows Me To Access It WHENEVER I WANNA!
That’s It.
That’s The Holy Grail.
The Philosopher’s Stone.
The Big Mac.
The End Of The Line.
The Rest Has All Become Too Much.
We Reached Perfection As Far As I’m Concerned.
Did It A While Ago.
Now They’re Just Upgrading.
Expanding.
Giving Us More Of What We Don’t Really Need.
BUT…
…I Digress.
SOOO…
…I Went For A Nice Walk Earlier.
It’s Very Overcast Outside.
Keeps Looking Like A Helluva Storm Is Coming…
…Yet It Doesn’t.
Clinging Firmly To My MP3Player In One-Hand…
…And My Trusty Rubber-Ball In The Other…
…I Set Out On A Grand Excursion.

Sounds Like A Damned Fine Navy Day, Eh Shipmates!!!
Well…
…It’s Acceptable, Anyway.
And We All Know That ACCEPTABLE Is JUST FINE.
Knowing Ahead Of Time There’s A Potential Negative Alternative Makes Every ACCEPTABLE Moment VERY Acceptable.
😉
Run With Me On This One, My Peeps.
I Just Might Be Right About This.
Well…
