The song, my parents told me not to sing, Sugar Walls by Sheena Easton

reply

isisdawonder.bsky.social•58 days ago

🤣

I sang my heart out to that.

And I loved trying to play the keyboard parts because those chords and melodies were righteous.

reply

brazen-scribe75.bsky.social•58 days ago

Okay! I sang like I got all of its concepts.

The Entire Album

Exactly. I was going to post “Maureen” because that’s my favorite song on there, but chose Sweetest Taboo instead.

reply

echoesofoldschool.bsky.social•58 days ago

"Maureen" is an amazing story. "Tar Baby" is incredible.

reply

isisdawonder.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes! An exceptional album from top to tail. My hands down FAVORITE of any of their albums. The second would be Diamond Life.
