A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.
Great song choice! There is also a version with Gladys Knight and the Pips that may or may not have been the first one. It was the first one that I heard.
Puff the Magic Dragon is a great song for traumatising the kids. There's nothing like a happy ending, and that one is definitely nothing like a happy ending.
This is when I like AI. The song is a story about when the group was formed. It was released when I had first started college. Where? In California! Good choice of song.
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. I don't know if I've heard it from beginning to end. I think it's just been in pieces in different instances. Thank you for sharing. I don't have a playlist, but the song is fun.
My second track is another deceased artist, John Denver, with his 1972 hit Rocky Mountain High. He died in 1997.
This is a quaint and folksy song, describing the wonders of camping in the stars in Colorado. John Denver was an environmentalist who tried to share the beauty of the outdoors with others so it could be protected.
When my mom played me this song a couple weeks ago, I couldn't remember if I'd ever heard it before. I looked at Denver's biography, looked over the lyrics on Genius, and decided it's a good song from a well-meaning artist. People like to say it's about getting high, but he took great pains to explain it is not.
I like it because it paints word pictures of nature and the feeling of awe one gets when camping in the mountains under a brilliant sky, far from the interference of city lights. Though I've never been camping, I can dream about it.
