You don't understand I need this song in my veins. I need to absorb this song into my very being so that if I ever got a CT scan doctors could see the music notes in my brain waves.

You don't understand-

[teathattast]

all my life i've felt

content to stargaze at the skies

now i only want to melt

the stardust in your eyes

Year-End Poll #5: 1954

Entering 1954. In addition to the traditional pop standards, there's a lot of vocal quartets this year, which has been a staple of the decade already. Doo-wop, a genre of music originating from Black artists and vocal groups, is reaching one of its peaks in mainstream popularity. As with previous years, the songs compiled onto the Top 30 Year-End chart are calculated by examining the retail sales of records and sheet music, as well as jukebox performances.
