Why don't you pack I'll take you back
To the countryside
Now's the time
I've got a little place in mind
We don't need no neighbors making noise at night
Dogs that fight
You'll sleep like a child
The city steaming miles away

Never thought you'd see the good life
Let me tell you how it feels
We can let our hearts be open, wide
So all our love will come through

Up and gone, we'll be moving on
When the morning comes
This is the way
I heard that it's supposed to be
I can almost see the flowers growing there
Taste the air
We've waited awhile
I never thought we'd see the day

Hall & Oates

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.
