Helen has set us a tester this week with the theme of ‘Heat’ for Song Lyric Sunday.
I struggled to bring to mind many songs with ”heat’ in the title. Resorting, reluctantly, to other-search-engines-are-available to find lyric references to the word produced plenty of allusions, but these seemed to be mostly in the context of either summer or lust (and sometimes both).
Not to say that either of these are bad things, of course, but the pedant in me couldn’t help feeling that, as far as writing about the phenomenon of ‘heat’, they didn’t really pass the relevance test with flying colours.
Anyway, there were a few songs rattling around in my head that at least included the word ‘heat’. Foremost among them was this one: the shattering climax (‘rousing finale’ doesn’t even begin to cover it) of The Who’s rock opera ‘Tommy’.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get the story
Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinion
From you, I get the story

I am not familiar with this one, but interesting choice. Thanks.
I love the Who, they are My Generation.
My boyfriend in high school loved The Who, but I didn’t end up hearing this one. Great choice for this week!
Super choice for today! I always enjoy hearing this song! 🙂
