Ha! There ya go! That could be it EK! Good call!
And yeah, I have to agree that that line bothered me too. I just dismissed it and went on wondering.....
Any way, just had a minute to come in and see how the vote is going. A very close round here! I better vote!
I vote for The End Of The Innocence. Beautiful song and I love it, I just love the other two more!

Re 'let your hair fall all around me' when she falls on top of him, or whatever, her hair spreads over his chest. It makes perfect sense to me.
I don't really care where her hair is falling around. I think the "me" should have just been left off at the end, that's how I originally heard it, but I still just LOVE this song & I think it is Don's best & most Iconic song hands down.
To me The Boys of Summer is a baseball song....I'm not crazy about that, but it's still a good song, just not his best song.
I know the title of The Boys Of Summer comes from a book about baseball. However, the lyrics of the song are not about baseball in any way, surely. The 'boys of summer' in these lyrics refer to fleeting lovers who will be forgottten while the narrator's 'love for you will still be strong'.
I do know that, but to me, I associate the term, "Boys of Summer" to the baseball season. They always play it at the end of the baseball season, so that is the meaning to me. I cannot disconnect from that.
I notice that many of you refer to the video of each song when judging it. I don't like to do that. I like to have my own interpretation of the song, and take the song as it is, only for the song itself, not some directors interpretation of the song or the "literal" meaning of the song.
To say that someone's hair can't fall around someone, because to you it's not physically possible is taking it literally... Besides, if you have really long hair, it can fall all around a guy while you are on the ground....Trust me it is physically possible.
Well, that was close! The next song to be eliminated from The Very Best of Don Henley Survivor is The End of The Innocence. “The End of the Innocence", your best defense wasn't good enough. I's time for you to go.
The remaining two songs may step forward.

Alright! We’re at the last round. This round is special, so it’s done differently. We’re not going to vote for the song we want to go. We’re going to vote for the song we want to win. This is how they do it on the real show, after all. Once again...
Vote for the song you want to win.
Voting for the final round begins NOW!
I vote for 'The heart of the matter' to win.
Heart of the Matter for the win.
Open up your eyes take the devil from your mind
This is soooo hard. I love both of these songs equally. But I think I'll vote The Boys Of Summer for the win. Even though HOTM will probably win. :P
