Song of the Day: God Only Knows by Beach Boys

Posted on June 11, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

RIP, Brian Wilson.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I’d be without you

Lyrics: Brian Wilson/Troy Asher

Posted on June 10, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’ve been searching YouTube for a good Andrew Stevens scene for about 90 minutes now. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the one that I’m looking for.

However, I did find this one of Andrew Stevens singing in the 70s!

Here is Andrew Stevens with our song of the day, Helpless In Love.

Last night, for #ScarySocial, we watched Horror Of The Party Beach so, of course, this song is now stuck in my head.

Song of the Day: The Touch by Mark Wahlberg

Posted on June 5, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Happy birthday, Mark Wahlberg!

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You’ve never walked, you’ve never run
You’re a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You’re nobody’s fool

You’re at your best when when the going gets rough
You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell’s breaking loose
You’ll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You’re a fighter

It’s in the blood, it’s in the will
It’s in the mighty hands of steel
When you’re standing your ground

And you never get hit when your back’s to the wall
Going to fight to the end and you’re taking it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell’s breaking loose
You’ll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You’re fighting fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You’re at your best when when the road gets rough
You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

Lyrics: Stan Bush

Song of the Day: Dust (What I Know) by Downtown Sasquatch

Posted on June 4, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to Shane Kippel!

Shane Kippel, as I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, played Spinner Mason on Degrassi: The Next Generation. He started out as the school bully but, by the time the third season began, he was pretty much the heart of the ensemble. How cool was Shane Kippel? He was so cool that Spinner ended up getting held back three times just so there would be an excuse to keep Kippel on the show!

(“What type of idiot fails his own language!?” Spinner once said when confronted with his grade in English. Oh, Spinner!)

Today’s song of the day features Shane Kippel on drums. From Degrassi, here is Downtown Sasquatch with Dust!

(The other members of the band are Jake Epstein on vocals, Aubrey Graham on guitar, and Adamo Ruggiero on bass.)
