Number 127: Spoons - Waterline
The Spoons final single of the 80s, "Waterline" was the third release from their 1988 LP Vertigo Tango. Disappointingly, it only made it to #44 on the Canadian charts. Musical tastes had changed - for the worse in my opinion. The band went on a hiatus that turned into a 15 year break. One wonders what might have been. But such is life in the fickle music business. In any case, "Waterline" is one of my favorite ballads of all time. I have it at #127 on this Top 200.

Ahhhh, listening to this song I can imagine sitting outside ... in a comfy chair on a deck in the sunshine ... looking out over Lake Ontario... Steam Whistle in hand ... peacefully contemplating life ... and life's ultimate questions .... like... can a girl have a mullet, or is the term reserved for just dudes ?
