A shoot up in the blue, blue sky
How'd they get that way inclined?
There's no lighthouse on the moor
No safety valve to ask why
Hold on, be strong
They hold you under
They hold you under
They hold you under
I can't hear you sing no more
As lonely as a train can be
When you're stuck in peak-hour dreams
Crossed lines and missed love calls
How to wreck your working day
Hold on, be strong
They hold you under
They hold you under
They hold you under
I can't hear you sing no more

I've been writing songs down for 5 years. I plan on loading them all on Amazon music.
When I listen to RP, I always have a pad of paper and pen at hand. I jot down songs that strike something in me. I had this song on my list for a while, and last night I downloaded a bunch of stuff from i-tunes. Including this one. WOW !!! Now I remember why I jotted this one down. It is freaking amazing. It is just ... so ... RP ish !!!! thank you RP, You guys just rock my world

RP raised that old 'XRT philosophy to a whole new level and has now been my soundtrack for life for close to 15 years. Forever thankful to R&B for my continued musical education. Also thanks to my best friend Brian, who recommended RP so many years ago.
Never heard of these cats before my RP baptism....
In my youth there was a station in Chicago that would have been branded "indie" had such a genre existed in the early 70's. They went from only 16 hours a day on the air - commercial free - to the 500 lb gorilla they are today. Can't listen anymore because of the endless commercials and self promotion.
Thanks you guys, for replacing the expansive mix of commercial free music I came to take for granted in my youth.

My Apple Playlist consists of obscure (for me) songs and groups that I've never heard before. One of the biggest blessings I received from my then boyfriend and now husband was introducing me to Radio Paradise. Thank you, my love!!!

The Viggen was a fighter aircraft as I remember. Did the 2001 model have afterburners and sidewinder as options?
The Viggen had a biga$$ turbo that pushed you into your seat just like an afterburner; albeit only in gears 3-5. The motor was detuned for the first two gears because the chassis was a bit overwhelmed.

... I never had a car....
Never had a Saab, but the first car I ever bought new was from the other Swedish car company. I had just gotten my first job out of college and felt very rich so went out and bought a brand new '68 Volvo P1800. Green (British Racing, no less) with a tan interior. An absolutely beautiful car! The Saint drove one too!
It being a Volvo, which then had a reputation as being extremely reliable, I expected to own the car forever. That was not to be. After 3 years, the month after the warranty ran out, it started to fall apart. Upholstery split, paint developed bad spots, frequently the car wouldn't start due to ignition issues (in and out of the shop many times), gauges failed. Truly incredible from a supposedly reliable car manufacturer. Anyway, I traded it in for... a Volkswagen Bus!

In 1978, Chevy stopped selling the Vega, but they still sold the Monza, which was built in the same plant by the same people to the same design under the sheetmetal. It had every defect imaginable, from missing fasteners and misaligned body panels to metallurgically deficient drivetrain components. The V-6 engine combined the fuel economy of a V-8 with the raw power of a straight four. In terms of reliability, it was a profit center for my mechanic.
As a result of this ownership experience, I was rather adamantly opposed to the GM bailout.
Chevies.
Bill needs to add many more songs from 78 Saab!

Aw, I used to have an '85 Saab 900. I loved that car beyond words.

Gotta figure that when you're dreaming of Australia as the Promised Land, and getting there to its beaches/Barrier Reef one day (and staying there), that only on RP would you get stuck at BF Nowhere home, waylaid by a conversation (on an Australian band's song page) about the '78 or who gives a s*** Vega. It was some GM product. Jeez.

Funny how things work out :(
I had a Sunbeam Imp and crashed - like you my girlfriend at the time left me - HOWEVER she did come back in '73 when I had a SAAB 90!! The rest is history!!

Really like this tune, however the lyrics border ambiguous and slightly blah. I suppose I'll just enjoy it and stop fretting the small stuff.

Carlsson's Saab inspired me to help a Rallye friend to prep his Ford Anglia with a sump guard, 5 point seat belt and working wipers.
Alas, he crashed in the rain, at least he didn't hurt himself and I got to sit beside his ravishing girlfriend for 5 hours.Win/win.

I also saw a Lancia Stratos driven by local rally driver Billy Coleman - it looked amazing but more brutal compared to the sleek lines of the Montecarlo.
It's true, it's all just make believe.
What's not untrue is how cool this number sounds, and how cool looking the '78 Lancia Montecarlo was.

Well the first part is correct, since Y stands for Young, If you buy a Saab when you are young it will die while you are still young and you will not buy another. If you are already no longer young you know better than to buy one in the first place. Speaking from bitter experience. thewiseking wrote:

They have an awesome sound and Annandale is a great place for a gig. The inner west of Sydney just teaming with college students angst, great coffee and better beer.
Australia definetely punches above their weight class in the music arena. Wish they were still a thing.

I'm glad I did.
I'm surprised this is the only song by them here.

Wow, a great retro sound! Brings back memories of when Mom drove a '66 Saab 96... 3-cylinder 2-stroke; a rare thing back then! The song has amazing power; the voice and guitar remind me strongly of obscure groups: Thirteen Senses' Do No Wrong; Rubyhorse.

Assume you are referring to WXRT, Chicago's fine rock station. We moved to the suburbs in '72, and my older sister turned me onto 'XRT soon thereafter.
IIRC, they only transmitted at night back then, and broadcast a Spanish-speaking station during the day.
'XRT was my soundtrack for life through middle and high school, and was sorely missed when I moved west after college.
RP raised that old 'XRT philosophy to a whole new level and has now been my soundtrack for life for close to 15 years. Forever thankful to R&B for my continued musical education. Also thanks to my best friend Brian, who recommended RP so many years ago.
Spooky. This song, the car, this comment. Synchronicity.
