Song 2. Cover of “Golden Time of Day” by Maze (1978)

Male singer (possibly Rev. Edward Moore – sounds like a more mature voice, definitely not Poncho Johnson or Shawn Baker):

There’s a time of the day when the sun settles down
That’s the golden time of day
At the end of the day the sun turns a golden glow
That’s the golden time of day
Ohh!
[Instrumental bridge]
Let me tell you, there’s a time in your life when you find who you are
That’s the golden time of day
In your mind you will find you’re a bright shining star
That’s the golden time of day
Ohh!
[Instrumental bridge]
Sunday morning can’t you see, shining for you and me
Sunday morning can’t you see, shining for you and me
Oooh!
Sunday morning can’t you see, shining for you and me
Sunday morning can’t you see, shining for you and me
Ooh, can’t you see, shining for you and me

Song 4: “Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me,” by Nilsson

Female singer (likely Marthea Hicks):

Everybody’s talking about me
Can’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of their minds
People stop and staring
I can’t even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking over the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
[Instrumental Bridge]
Everybody’s talking about me
I can’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of their minds
People stop and staring
I can’t even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking over the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
Ooh oo-ooh
Oo-ooh
Oo-ooh

Watching winter turn to spring
Walking in the dark
Seeing lovers do their thing
That’s the time I feel like making love –
[interrupted – musicians continue quietly in the background]
[indistinct male speaking]
Female Soloist: Oh (pause) [to musicians:] Four
(key change)
Strolling in the park
Watching winter turn to spring
Strolling in the dark
(music ends)
