They call K-Tel records the Spotify of the 1970’s. As kids that’s where we got our music. A trip to Harmony House Records on Grand River Avenue in Farmington, MI, just past Shiawassee Park… $12 later we were transported into a world of pop music. This is a “thank you to K-Tel” for the incredible selections, records and fun they provided us way back when.

Advice for the Young at Heart
Advice for the young at heart
Songwriters: Nicky Holland / Roland Orzabal
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work?
I could be happy
I could be quite naive
It’s only me and my shadows
Happy in our make believe
Soon
And with the hounds at bay
I’ll call your bluff
‘Cause it would be okay
To walk on tiptoes everyday
And when I think of you and all the love that’s due
I’ll make a promise, I’ll make a stand
Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We’ve got the whole wide world in our hands
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
Love is a promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work?
Working hour is over
And how it makes me weep
‘Cause someone sent my soul to sleep
And when I think of you and all the love that’s due
I’ll make a promise, I’ll make a stand
Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We’ve got the whole wide world in our hands
We’ve got the whole wide world in our hands
We’ve got the whole wide world in our hands
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
Working hour is over
We can do anything that we want
Anything that we feel like doing
