The brilliant singer and musician Chris Rea has passed away. I remember when I first heard this song (my favorite of his). I was in grad school in Tucson, Arizona and had a summer job teaching English at Pima Community College. I was driving there one day in July when the temperature hit 117. My little car started to overheat so I turned off the A/C, rolled the windows down, and hoped for the best. Then this song came on. It had such a great groove to it that I almost forgot my miserable circumstances. Almost.
It was also so very, very appropriate. Still is, even in winter.
Yep, this one got me too!
