FCS Daily Music Video – ‘Lookin’ Out the Widow’ Stevie Ray Vaughan (1985)

Stephen Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, best known as the guitarist and frontman of the blues rock trio Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Although his mainstream career spanned only seven years, he is regarded as one of the most influential musicians in the history of blues music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

On Monday, August 27, 1990, at 12:50 a.m, Vaughan and members of Eric Clapton‘s touring entourage played an all-star encore jam session at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Alpine Valley Resort in East Troy, Wisconsin. They then left for Midway International Airport in Chicago in a Bell 206B helicopter, the most common way for acts to enter and exit the venue, as there is only one road in and out, heavily used by fans. The helicopter crashed into a nearby ski hill shortly after takeoff.  Vaughan and the four others on board—pilot Jeff Brown, agent Bobby Brooks, bodyguard Nigel Browne, and tour manager Colin Smythe—died.

“Lookin’ Out The Window”

Well I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you
Yeah I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you

Well I’m dreamin’ all the sweet dreams and the memories of the past
Feel so fine honey, thats why our love should last
Feel so good baby and it’s all because of you
I’ve gotta love ya, I need to love ya, I want to love ya so nice
We’re havin’ all the time to ourselves
Yeah we’re havin’ all the fun to ourselves

Lord I’m pickin’ up the pieces off the shelf
Won’t take long baby ’cause there’s hardly any left
Feel so good baby but it’s all because of you

I’ve gotta love ya, I need to love ya, I want to love ya so nice
I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you
Yeah I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you

Well I’m dreamin’ all the sweet dreams and the memories of the past
Feel so fine honey, thats why our love should last
Feel so good darlin’ and it’s all because of you
I’ve gotta love ya, I need to love ya, I want to love ya so nice

I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you
Yeah I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you
Yeah I’m lookin’ out the window, I’m lookin’ at you
