One of my male friends - we've known each other 20 years misses me very much. We often email, call or text.

Thing is, in my nearly every text or email that I send him - I quote at least one line from a late 70s/early 80s lyric - as this was my mid yak era. I don't know what he thinks of this, but he'd be welcome to drop a few lyrics in his communications to me as long as he doesn't use

"I drove my tractor to your haystack last night!" Grin

On another note, I'm sure all you MNers music tastes are as good as mine do will live these highbrow musical references !

What does him missing you have anything to do with… anything?

PurpleChrayne · 21/09/2023 17:14

What?

So there is miles and miles of empty space in between you, OP, and the telephone can't take the place of his smile?😆

DH and I are always quoting song lyrics at each other inspired by random things.

Got it mixed up with Styx’s Blue Collar Man because it has a similar heartbeat away line.

OnAFrolicOfMyOwn · 21/09/2023 18:05

It is indeed - one of the few songs that occasionally makes me cry.
