Bob James - Angela (theme from 'Taxi') (4K)

[@chrishanson8277]

I remember watching Taxi with my Dad. I was 8 or 9 years old and sometimes, he would let me stay up late, to watch it with him. He’d always say, “don’t tell your mother”. (She worked nights as a waitress at the time). He died in 2021 from cancer. Now all I have are the memories. Good night Mr. Walters.

[@Aja-Christian]

I don't know what it is about the tone or melody of this song that makes me a little bit emotional; it makes me smile but teary eyed at the same time. Maybe because I remember hearing it as a kid and at that time in my life things were simpler and I was more innocent. Loved ones were still around, hard times and struggles were still years away. Something about this track just makes me feel safe, like being pulled into a long embrace and being held, or finally coming home after being away for a long time. I never want that feeling to go away. 💗💗💗 I hope this track has this affect on me for the rest of my life. Thank you BJ for blessing the world with your genius!!🙏🙏🙏
