Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

Producer: Tom “T-Bone” Wolk Daryl Hall John Oates

Girl we've come together
And then we've felt the sadness
That comes when it's thru
Do we walk our own way in a world turned blue
Oh it's true that I can't see rhyme or reason
And when feeling's out of season
What can I do
Except try to walk away with you

You and I are halfway there
On some road to somewhere
Can I be the one
You and I are halfway there
Can't we go all the way

We were born in the brave new world
Taught to be modern little boys and girls
Then they tried to take our imagination away
When the guns are firing somewhere
And there's evil in the air
What can we do
Except try to say what's true
You know what's true?
This is true girl

You and I are halfway there
On some road to somewhere
Can I be the one
You and I are halfway there
Can't we go all the way

Oh we must go on
Oh girl, we can't turn back
We can't retreat
We've gotta attack
Be here right now
I'll be here for you
My love won't die
We've gotta break
Break on through

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
