    Warren Zevon stumped me, (so I cheated)
    Actually not familiar with that song. I liked it. I must expand beyond my Warren Zevon’s Greatest Hits. Great songwriter.

    1. The Heartache

    For #1, I was actually looking for “Keep Me in Your Heart” but technically, you’re correct and you’re up!

    It's a good song and I play a game with one of my co-workers where we try to blurt out the first three words of a song first. Also, I know you're a big fan.

    Back to more math.

    Philip Sousa | Livingston Seagul + Mountain Lion / (Sad + alone) + -(new) + -(day) = [artist/song]

    First time I heard him was the song "This Time". I went out and bought the album, "Nothing Matters And What If It Did". Quickly became a favorite album, at the time.

    I got it! I got it!

    I looked at it earlier and couldn't make much sense of it after the first section. Then sitting at supper tonight it just clicked for me.

    I'll delay for a bit and let someone else take a whack at it.

    Rick Springfield/Human Touch

    Never knew he changed is name.
    I recall his song "Speak To The Sky" from a K-Tel record, in the early '70s
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,640 Member
    Correct.

    I didn't know he changed his name until well after the 80s. I'm not sure if I recall anything other than "Speak To The Sky" from his earlier album.

    We had meat loaf (turkey burger) the same day I posted that question.

    Ambrosia/Biggest Part of Me

    That's the kind of song that was the background music to my younger years. The cliché "soundtrack of my youth". Takes me right back to a moment in time.

    The first concert I went to was Foreigner (Double Vision), Christopher Cross (Christopher Cross), and Ambrosia (Life Beyond L.A.). Awesome.
