"WHEN LOVE IS NEW"

[markydefad]

NOT ARTHUR PRYSOCK!!!!! :D

My apologies to Arthur Prysock for even mentioning his name in association with the swill version I have of "When Love Is New." (It's a totally different song with the same title, I guess.) I listened several times last night and this is some bad boozy Eurotrash lounge singer trying to attempt crooning, scatting and disco and failing miserably.

the tape just says "When Love Is New" (1977) 127 bpm--I got 129.

When love is new it's something grand
a fleeting kiss, a squeeze of hand
and though in love you're flying high
and all at once nothing seems to matter
just a new affair.

As time goes by you understand
there's more to this than holding hands
It feels like she has always been close by your side
and nothing seems to matter
just a new affair.

It feels like you just want to live day after day
this lucky situation that's come your way...

(Break, strings/ horns)

When love is old it's like a song
...the music's wrong
and like a flower that slowly dies and fades away
like the traces of a sad affair



Girly chorus: Seems to me it's gonna be another lasting love

Break: almost a Scottish "I hear the bagpipes" type riff..

Then he scats like Louis Armstrong, and COUGHS (I'm not kidding!!) and it's over.

Who is this bad singer????? :oops: :x :evil: :roll:

No, I don't have any idea, but couldn't repress the impulse to remember "When love is new", the ballad exquisitely sung by Billy Paul.
That's beau-ti-ful in my book. 8)
