Middle School Moment Vol. 1

I'm cheating a little bit: I may have actually been in elementary school when the Sam Phillips smash "I Need Love" hit the airwaves. But it wasn't until sixth grade, a few years after it's 1994 release that I remember humming along to her haunting vocals on my way to school. Back before I owned my own extensive record collection, and in the midst of branching beyond my parents' taste, there was a lot of radio in my life. Mostly crappy, but some quality. Sam was one such serendipitous experience. I still love this song as much as I did 10 years ago.



Sam Phillips - I Need Love [mp3]

I need love not some sentimental prison
I need God not the political church
I need fire to melt frozen sleet inside me
I need love
