Happy Valentines Day 2026

Steve from Song of the Day for Today inspired me to share one of my favorite Valentines Day love songs.

Thin Air

There's a light when my baby's in my arms
There's a light when the window shades are drawn
Hesitate when I feel I may do harm to her
Wash it off, 'cause this feeling we can share

And I know she's reached my heart in thin air

Byzantine is reflected in our pond
There's a cloud, but the water remains calm
Reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass
Even out, it's a precious thing to bear

And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes, I know she's reached my heart in thin air

It's not in my past to presume
Love can keep on moving in both directions
How to be happy and true
Is the quest we're taking on together

Taking on, on, on, on, on
Taking on, on, on, on, on

There's a light when my baby's in my arms

And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
And I know she's reached my heart in thin air
Yes, I know she's reached my heart

          It’s probably what some call a “deep cut.”

          YES! on Last Kiss. Have you ever heard them play Johnny Cash’ song “25 Minutes to Go”? Forgot what album it was on, one of their live benefit concerts I think.

          1. I’m listening to it now! I love it…he has that Johnny sound in his voice…he is great on covers. When I heard him sing for the Doors…I was hoping they would make an album…it was that good.
