Tuesday Afternoon: Evening (Time to Get Away)

This post contains affiliate links.

Welcome back to another Tuesday Afternoon! Our Days of Future Passed have finally reached the tipping point, moving from the early part of the day to the Evening.

Evening is actually the second half of a single track that also contains Tuesday Afternoon, but for the purposes of this series, I’m treating them as separate entities. Evening is another John Lodge track, another one of those early songs that wrestles with shoulds and wants. The idea that the work day is finally over and your life belongs only to yourself again, at least for a short while. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve heard it, the plaintive “I’m tired of working away…” touches some vulnerable part of my soul every single time. (Please don’t ask me how many times it’s made me cry, because the answer is “all of them”.)

Unfortunately, this is a track that gets sort of buried, squashed between Tuesday Afternoon and Sunset/Twilight Time.

As always, if you are so inclined to pick up a physical copy of Days of Future Passed for your collection, you can do so here.
