    It's a cover of a Radiohead song, but Frampton always makes things sound good.

    By the way, the black guitar in the thumbnail is his once lost but finally returned-to-him 1954 Gibson Les Paul Custom, still exhibiting some of its scars from the plane crash and the resulting fire. And that's why he calls it the Phenix.

    Ashes to ashes.

    Funk to funky.

    Peter Frampton, he's no flunky.


    (don't worry, I'll keep my day job)


    Beck has, I heard, left Scientology. His celebrity protects him from them and their machinations.

    I suspected that this song and the album reflected a personal conflict with him. I think he fell in love and couldn't be devoted just to Scientology anymore.

    He discovered his humanity. Love (and lust) did it for him.

    At least, that's what I think.

    Beck
    “No Distraction” is the fifth track on Beck’s 2017 album Colors. It features backing vocals from American power-pop musician Roger Joseph Manning Jr.

    Produced by
    Greg Kurstin & Beck

    Release Date
    October 13, 2017


    [Verse 1]

    It’s not the words I want to tell you
    It’s not the tension that I feel
    It’s not the face that I’m showing you today
    That betrays the way, the way I want to feel

    What I need
    What I need
    What I need right now is right here
    Right in front of me

    What I need
    What I need
    What I need right now is right here
    Only you and me


    [Pre-Chorus]

    A million times, a million thoughts
    And I really don’t know what I want
    But then I see you, now I’m almost lost
    And everything that I know went wrong
    And if it means that it’s done and I’m a fool
    But I want to forget what we’ve been through
    Just to save us both from what we knew
    Losing our way, sometimes, it’s cruel


    [Chorus]

    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?
    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?

    They pull you to the left
    They pull you the right
    Pull you in all directions
    They pull you to the left
    Pull you the right
    Pull you in all directions


    [Verse 2]

    It’s not the objects that I hold in my possession
    It’s not the worldly things that shine
    Sometimes the worst will come and bring us back together
    Well, help me out and get me through that night

    What I need
    What I need
    What I need right now
    Is all right, right in front of me?
    What I need
    What I need
    What I need right now
    Is you – you, only you and me


    [Pre-Chorus]

    A million times, a million thoughts
    And I really don’t know what I want
    But then I see you, now I’m almost lost
    In everything that I know went wrong
    And if it means that it’s done and I’m a fool
    When I want to forget what we’ve been through
    Just to save us both from what we knew
    Losing our way, sometimes it’s cruel


    [Chorus]

    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?
    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?

    They pull you to the left
    They pull you the right
    Pull you in all directions
    Pull you to the left
    Pull you the right
    Pull you in all directions


    [Bridge]

    I’m losing time
    I’m losing time
    There’s so many ways
    To live or love or die
    I’m losing time
    I’m losing time
    I’ve wanted to know
    Are you still on the line?
    Wasting time trying to prove things
    Instead of proving my love
    I’m losing, I’m losing my mind
    Oh oh oh


    [Pre-Chorus]

    A million times, a million thoughts
    And now I really don't know what I want
    But then I see you, I’m almost lost
    In everything that I know went wrong
    If it means that it’s done and I’m a fool
    Don’t want to forget what we’ve been through
    Just to save us both from what we knew
    Losing our way, sometimes it’s cruel


    [Chorus]

    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?
    No distraction
    No distraction
    Can I, can I be with you?

    They pull you to the left
    They pull you the right
    They push you in all directions
    Pull you to the left
    Pull you the right
    They push you in all directions

    In truth, I've always liked that kind of music ─ whether it was called disco or not ─ because of the groovy bass lines, the ambient keyboard riffs and the orchestral sounds. And if one has to stick a label to it, then I'd called it "acid jazz", not disco.
    Jamiroquai was always my older brother's favorite band and then mine too. I really like that kind of funky, groovy music, and disco music too. I don't really listen to radio anymore and I hate most commercial radio channels, but if I happen to be somewhere like in a car and have to listen to radio then I'll always choose a station called Groove FM here, because they play only those older groovy classics.

    If the kids are 'shipping' it means they're looking for a relationship.

    It's easy to get left behind when you don't want to hang in adolescent and twenty-something circles.

    Which would be creepy anyway.

As it turned out her family owned a huge trucking company ... hmmm. Well, ok that worked for me, ... she was a strangely nice person but a little jacked up in the head. We carried on for awhile and later found out that she married a work acquaintance. I'm an inquisitive sort so I just started talking with this guy during a softball game, I had just hit a triple and he was standing at the fence (what a stud I was ... no, not really) giving me a hard time. But he mentioned his wife and I asked him later who he was married to. It was that girl. So, I'm mentally going sputter and acting if I'm trying to recall the name and then casually say, "I think the name sounds familiar". Admittedly, he did a double-take on my response.

    She loved the Doobie Brothers: I can't tell you how many times I heard this song.

    My brother has the CD set, although the original was released on vinyl in the late 1970s ─ an abridged version of this particular song actually made it into the pop charts, as did another song from the album a while later.

    If you hadn't guessed already, it's a musical interpretation of H.G. Wells' War Of The Worlds. It features (among others) Justin Hayward (of The Moody Blues) and Chris Thompson (of Manfred Mann's Earth Band), and it has a narration by Richard Burton in between the musical segments.
