Song of the Day! I recommend that everybody download this one. It's off of The Faces 'A wink is as good as a nod...to a blind horse." album they did back in...I dunno, 1971 or something. Written by the late great Ronnie Lane, this is an awesome song. It even has that raspy voice, that sandpaper throat sounding Brit, Rod Stewart, crooning with Ron Wood's warm blues riff kerranging through the background. Hammond, Piano's and rock drums galore.

Song of the Day:
1.) The Faces - Love Lives Here.

For those of you interested, the lyrics:

It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives.
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain.
Waitin' for a hammer and a big ball and chain.

They can tear it all down and build something new,
Then only I'll remember what was here.
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How hong will I have to keep returning?

Now I look back, think I've known all the time,
I've been fightin' myself for so long.
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber
Disappear on a cart down the road
