Part of the fun of doing these music countdowns is coming up with a theme, and then wracking your brain in order to come up with songs. This particular series revolves around the word, or a variation, of "Strange." We are at #6: "Strangers When We Meet" by the Smithereens.
"Strangers When We Meet" is the leadoff track from their 1986 full length debut, Especially for You (which is a great album, by the way.)
A song with an old timey pop sound, "Strangers When We Meet" was released as a single (the fourth single from that record,) but only charted in the UK, where it reached #21.
"Strangers When We Meet" is one of my favorites, which is saying something, considering that there are no bad songs on that album.
Enjoy!

1st song from their 3rd album "Especially for You", released in 1986. Lyrics: She told me sunday Baby it's over We can't go on this way. I really love you, B...

But it's a very romantic song... Sinatra

I love Frank Sinatra. Unfortunately, that was the last song that was cut.

Wow, this one slipped my mind (it wasn't one of the "two obvious choices" I mentioned yesterday). But you're right, I totally concur, agree, and give bigger-than-Facebook-thumbs thumbs up!!!!

The beauty of music is that there is something for everyone.

Hi ,
I am following you and I like very much the music you propose . I have listened the song and again I have to tell that you have beautiful musical tastes .
I was not knowing the song you made me listen neither the band producing neither the song itself . In my opinion 80 ' music is very depressing and ( I guess The Smithereens are a 80 ' band ) . Is that true Scott ?
