Strange Weather is the fourth solo studio album by Glenn Frey, the guitarist and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles. It was released in 1992 by MCA. Though considered an improvement from Frey's previous album by most critics, it went largely unnoticed by the public. It was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart in the US, and none of its three singles reached the Top 40, a first for Frey. 'Part of Me, Part of You' was earlier released as part of the Thelma and Louise soundtrack and peaked at #55.
Critical reception[edit]
Reviewing for AllMusic, critic William Ruhlmann wrote of the album 'With his solo career fading, Glenn Frey got serious on his fourth album, but many of the album's sentiments sounded strange coming from him.'[1] In a review for The Rolling Stone Album Guide (1992), Mark Coleman gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that 'Frey seemed determined to make a statement. 'Love in the 21st Century' was a catchy but deposable rocker in the vein of his Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack hit 'The Heat Is On', but both 'I've Got Mine' and 'He Took Advantage (Blues for Ronald Reagan)' found him stumbling around in the same rich-rock-star-as-self-righteous-angry-liberal footsteps as Henley.'[2]

It's long after midnight and the city sleeps
We're driving alone through the park
Somehow I just don't feel like going home
Let's take a walk in the dark
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Follow the road in your heart
Don't be afraid you'll be safe with me
Let's take a walk in the dark
There's not one soul in the park
Let's take a walk in the dark
This is the way I want to dance with you
Silhouettes beneath the moon and stars
This is the night I've always dreamed about
Let's take a walk in the dark
I wrap my arms around you
Your heart beats next to mine
I can feel you breathing in and out of time
Feel the gentle motion, the softness of your skin
Surrender to the rapture, deep within
There's not one soul in the park
Let's take a walk in the dark
Follow the road in your heart
Let's take a walk in the dark
A walk in the dark
He dreams of love, one night of love
