The holiday season’s over, and it seems we’ve been thrust back into the standard, grinding routine. This transition can be a bit disheartening, but fortunately we have music with which we can escape. I’ve been grooving of late to a song from the Temptations that seems well suited to my escapist thoughts. It’s called, appropriately, “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me).”
The track is centered on Eddie Kendricks’s featherlight voice, which floats above a lush, orchestral arrangement. A jaunty bass line, seemingly straight out of a summer afternoon, provides a gentle anchor. And of course, the rest of the Temptations contribute some rich backing harmonies. All in all, it’s a wonderful matching of voice, arrangement, and lyrical content, and the result is a dream.
Here’s the track, enjoy.
