Massachusetts raised us and we grew up right
In between the crashes of the high tide
It's only I don't know why I don't know you
I can't say why, I can't see you

This is not an apple or an angel town
Once you hit the big time you're west bound
It's only I don't know why I don't know you
I can't say why, I can't see you

On a broken sidewalk on the edge of town I
Will try to meet you, when the sun goes down
Sing a "hey la hey la" to the Holy Ghost
To the only constant on the radio

Out of reach from the cold and gray town
I turn the headlights and volume way down low.
So I can hear you on a constant radio

Give me daytime give me nighttime
Give me anger, you know I don't mind
Give me something to fill the time
If you give me your love then I give you mine

Give me your love, give me your love, give me…
Out of reach from the cold and gray town
I turn the headlights and volume way down low.
So I can hear you on a constant radio
The Wednesdays
The Wednesdays are Jeff Harris & Meg Smallidge, from Somerville, MA (next door to Cambridge, right across the river from Boston). 

That's it. That's all we know. Except that they write nice songs and they play and sing them quite well.

If you listen to RP long enough, as I have, these songs by artists I've never heard of become earworms and I have to turn them up before the third note has passed.  And then I have to track down the albums.  Curse you, RP!  Thank you, RP!

Sounds like they play both kinds of music, Country and Western.

Used to live in Charlestown, across the  street from the town limit sign  for Somerville.  Never understood why this intensely urban setting sprouted so many folk-music guitar strummers.

I think they're saying, "It's always I don't know why." I'll be damned if Google will let me find the lyrics, though.

Well, I guess this an example of how subjective music is and how different listeners take away different things.
I'm just baffled that you and 7 other people (at this writing) listened to this song and were reminded of Paul Simon.  :-)  

Really?   The male voice is uncannily similar to  a young Paul Simon.

No Ma'am, we're musicians.

Bluegrass from Boston ?  Nice indeed.  That's why I love New England.

Quite the segue from Brown Eyed Women; almost like a continuation of the same song. I liked 'em both.

Thanks for connecting me with new music.  Classics are awesome, but growth is necessary or we become stagnant.
