(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection

So, I was looking on YouTube for some good acoustic versions of songs from the 80s when I stumbled upon the classic hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection" by Nelson.  I'm technically cheating again since it was released in 1990, but that's okay.  You can tell by the clothing styles in the video that the 1990s had arrived -- but with just a hint of '80s flare.  I think the first year of a new decade is kind of like a crux or a pivot.  So, you'll see lots of long, awesome rock star hair, tight jeans, leather, boots, and all that good stuff from the 80s, but with different colors and less teasing in the coiffures (more 90s).  I am still completely ga-ga over these guys' hairdos.  Their hair is amazing.  Hard to get past that, but...  

The song is really awesome.  Love that acoustic guitar, and the lyrics are really well-composed.  It's kind of like a nice narrative of this guy who is feeling ignored by a girl.  He's fallen for her, and she doesn't even know he exists.  But, he can't live without her love and affection.  He can't spend another night on his own.  How many times do we hear this in a song?  Well, probably quite a bit, and mostly in metaphors.  But, this is straight and to the point.  I am sure that when this song came out (and I was in high school), there were tons of girls screaming for Nelson's love and affection.  Anyway, this is just a nice tune that can make you smile -- especially if you think back to when it came on the radio.  Were you in high school?  Middle school?  Perhaps grown and married?  Whatever the case, it was "back in the day," and it is always nice to reminisce over a good tune with acoustic guitar and happy lyrics about love...and affection.
