You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory


Johnny Thunders はNew York 出身のロッカー。



20年前、よく聞いていた。



今でも好き。たまに聞く。



哀愁漂う秋の夜に聞きたくなった歌。

From Wikipedia

"You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" is a song released in 1978 by ex-New York Doll Johnny Thunders.

The title was taken from a line in “Better Living Through TV,” an episode of the TV sitcom, The Honeymooners and was written for his close friend Fabienne Shine.

Considered by many his signature song, this poignant ballad centers on Thunders’ heroin addiction.

Though still in his 20s, he understands that he is fighting a losing battle with his best years long behind him.

Thunders did survive 13 more years of self-destruction, but ultimately, the song’s bleak message became prophetic.

Thunders' friend, Peter Perrett, from the English New Wave band The Only Ones, supplied guitar and backing vocals.
