Welcome back friends, to Songs From Home and “Girls Like Me”, a song from my album “Between Here And Gone”… I remember well being in my early twenties and eating dinner standing up in whatever group house kitchen I was living in…chances are it was saltines and peanut butter, that was the average affordable dinner for a self employed musician/typist/temp office worker. Some songs are helped along by details that come from memory, while others rely on a mix of imagination and investigation…this one is mostly the former, especially the speaker’s fondness for “summer light”… That said, it’s been a stunningly gorgeous week here in Virginia- with amazing autumn light- along with a cold weekend; it’s also seasonal and it makes sense to welcome a late October chill. We might even build the season’s first fire tonight; I know a certain dog and kitty would love it.
