I woke up this morning with this song in my head and can't get it out now.  I have been singing it and humming to it since before five this morning so thought that I would share it with you.  This is an oldy moldy from 1976 (my Junior year in High School) and I used to love this band and especially this song.  I hope that this song will sound familiar to some of you.

It's A Long Way There by The Little River Band





Hey everybody yeah, don't you feel that there's something?
Feel it, feel it?
Hey everybody yeah, don't you feel that there's something?

People on their own are getting nowhere,
I am on the road to see,
If anything is anywhere and waiting, just for me.

Everynight I walk around the city.
Seems like I'll never know,
That feeling of being together when I go.

And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going,
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going.

Hey everybody, don't you feel that there's something, but you know
in a moment it is gone.
I live for the day when I can hear people saying that they know and
they care for everyone
But I feel like I've been here for the whole of my life, never knowing
home.

It's a long way.
It's a long, long, long way there,
I'm gonna keep on tryin',
I'm gonna keep on tryin', yeah,
I'm gonna keep on tryin',
I'm gonna keep on tryin', ah!

Been away from home for such a long time,
And got to know this town,
But I don't seem to matter much to anyone, who's around
Is there anybody around?

Everynight I walk around the city,
Seems like I'll never know,
The feeling of being together when I go.

And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going,
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going.

Everybody knows it's a long way there,

Oh, everybody knows it's a long way there.
Mmm, it's a long way

Driving around's kind of getting me down and I know, and I know
It's a long long way there
It's such a long long way, long way

Hey everybody yeah,
don't you feel that there's something?
Feel it, feel it?
Hey everybody yeah,
don't you feel that there's something?

Thanks to Youtube for the loan of the video and to LyricsMania for the lyrics.

Have a great day everyone!

Sorry I don't remember this one, but, in '76, I was into disco and I had just had my oldest daughter.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:03pm EDT
In '76 I spent my time between two clubs, one was called "The Crazy Horse Saloon" for rock and roll dancing and live rock shows and the second club was called "The Red Lion Disco" for what else? Disco dancing!! I still dance to disco whenever I get the chance! And of course ~ rock and roll forever!
Janie E. Sep 4, 2009, 8:58am EDT
Our favorite clubs were Grand Central Station and Doc Hollywood's! We spent most of our time partying there and we'll always have great memories with our friends.
Elizabeth O. Sep 3, 2009, 8:43am EDT

My fav is their song "Lady''. I'd sure like to have a buzz, just not in my head,lol :)
Paidra Delayno Sep 3, 2009, 9:49am EDT

penni d. Sep 3, 2009, 9:52am EDT

Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:05pm EDT
I've now had that song in my head for over 13 hours! EEKS!
i've never heard this one before.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:06pm EDT
It's a song that was played more on rock stations that played a lot of album cuts like the radio station KLBJ in Austin, Texas used to be.
Deb J. Sep 3, 2009, 9:46am EDT
Thanks Esther!! Have a great day!! I love their song "Lady" too.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:07pm EDT
Hey Deb!

Glad you enjoyed the song hon!
JOHN BECK Sep 3, 2009, 9:59am EDT
I don't remember this song. Pretty cool, with some interesting instrumentals.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:08pm EDT
Yes the song is nice to hear as it does have some interesting instrumentals. I really enjoy this band from time to time. Nothing too rowdy or crazy for me these days.
Melanie C. Sep 3, 2009, 11:43am EDT
I remember this one - thanks Esther I haven't heard in a long time!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:08pm EDT
Cool Melanie! It is an olddd song!
El Toro Bravo de Amor Sep 3, 2009, 11:59am EDT
Better you than me. Put on some Banda Machos and scrub that mold out of your skull with a brass band brillo pad.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:11pm EDT
Tu y tus bandas. Me recuerda esa musica a la musica de carnivales. Yikes!

You asked me about Trevi ~ the answer is because of what she did to all of those girls. I read four books on that business and followed that story from Mexico all over the world where she and that monster travelled to with those innocent girls.

Her singing grates on me, besides that there are a couple of her songs that she broke out with that I enjoyed. She is now out of style like Cyndi Lauper and Madonna are.
Cathi L. Sep 3, 2009, 1:00pm EDT
I know Little River Band but I don't remember this song, but it's a good one.

I agree with El Toro, brass band brillo pad ought to take care of that mold!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:13pm EDT
Thanks Cathi!

Brass band brillo pad would erase and clean out the mold plus everything else in this head of mine! ;p
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Sep 3, 2009, 2:22pm EDT
I don't remember that one.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:13pm EDT
HEY BRENDA!
Larry H. Sep 3, 2009, 4:22pm EDT
not a fan of that kind of music..
Linda T. Sep 3, 2009, 5:18pm EDT
This is not one I am familiar with.
Ed Da Head Toker Sep 3, 2009, 5:32pm EDT
I know what you have been smoking!!!!
Carrie Marie P. Sep 3, 2009, 6:50pm EDT
What a great song to have stuck in your head! :)
DIANE D. Sep 3, 2009, 7:10pm EDT
Lol, Eric Clapton is always in mine.
Georgiana S. Sep 3, 2009, 7:37pm EDT
1976! Working for the Who back then, in London, never heard it!
Stephanie S. Sep 4, 2009, 4:43am EDT
never heard it. odd cause I get really old crap stuck in my head all the time. I hear them somewhere; some store who thinks people want to hear old stuff {ick}
So sorry you had this in your head so long.
Lionel LaVergne Sep 4, 2009, 9:45am EDT
Good song by a great band. Due to age and back injuries I no longer dance. But I loved them all. Disco, my favorite, Disco Inferno by the Tramps. I could really shake my booty to that one. Old rock and roll, jitter bugging and belly rubbing, fun. My sister was a dance instructor when I was in my teens. There wasn't any music I couldn't dance to. Salsa, rumba, mambo, waltz, rock and roll, disco, you name it I did it. Not to blow my own horn, very well.
