This song was an attempt to capture the sound and spirit of a 1940’s jazz club, and a love song from that era. First written in 1976, this is the oldest of my songs on the album, inspired by the few gigs I was lucky enough to play with The Mellow Men led by Buddy Fields during the mid-1970’s.
Vocal by Danny Stevenson. Brass section: Bobby Plair, Victor Plair and Carl Ratliff.
After binging the entire series of Dawson’s Creek, I found myself captivated by the character of Jen Linley (played by Michelle Williams) – this is a tribute to all those who “fall in love” with characters on screens, large and small. Of course, it’s silly – some songs are just about having some fun or making fun of ourselves!
I must admit that I’m in love with Jen Lindley,
even though I’m pretty sure she isn’t real.
Every time I see her smile she gets to me
I just can’t believe the funny way I feel.
She’s my television love, sent to me from high above, or from Hollywood or somewhere
They create reality to confuse me, or to maybe guarantee I’ll fall in love.
I hope she doesn’t think this love will last forever;
I know that sometime soon this show will have to end.
Until then she’ll find me watching every day, drying all her tears and stealing her away.
She’s my television love, sent to me from high above, or from Hollywood or somewhere
They create reality to confuse me, or to maybe guarantee I’ll fall in love.
A fantasy with a girl on TV is all good fun until it makes you cry.
I think you’ll see that won’t be me, unless they let Jen Lindley die!
(Horn break)
She’s my television love, sent to me from high above, or from Hollywood or somewhere
They create reality to confuse me, or to maybe guarantee I’ll fall in love.
