Great songs about things that move you

New Sensations - Lou Reed (released April 1984)

Partial lyrics that specifically address "things that move you":


I took my GPZ out for a ride
the engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it's was forty degrees outside

I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap
sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke

There were some country folk and some hunters inside
somebody got themselves married and somebody died
I went to the juke box and played a hillbilly song

They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside
and I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that GPZ so much, you know that I could kiss her

 

Danville, VA. Funny thing about songs you are exposed to as kids. My dad fashioned himself a folk singer, and of course this one, along with Ledbelly and other Lomax archive traditionals were his repertiore. That tune comes on and you know how the lyrics follow, despite never being able to come up with them on your own.
