Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
It’s raining today / But once there was summer / and you / And dark little rooms / And sleep in late afternoons / Those moments descend / On my window pane
I’ve hung around too long / Listenin’ to the old landlady’s hard-luck stories / You out of me, me out of you / We go like lovers / To replace the empty space / Repeat our dreams to someone new
It’s raining today / And I watch the cellophane streets / No hang-ups for me / ‘Cause hang-ups need company / The street corner girl’s / A cold tremblin’ leaf
It’s raining today in the canyon. No complaints for most of 2025—our little cul-de-sac has been all smiles. Tonight I plan to eat the last of the fresh cantaloupe and watermelon of ’25. It was an excellent year for crunchy watermelon, and it appears that our avocado tree is going to shed a bundle sooner than the new year.
With rain in the breeze I took the opportunity to start this week’s episode with some serious easy, and sentimental, listening. This is one of those Idelic hours I’ll likely spin a number of times this week. I hope you’ll do the same.
Hang on to your loved ones and let’s get through these insane days of ’25 with little or no “hang ups.”
Idelic Single of the Week: HighSchool – Sony Ericsson
