Dialogue, Chicago. This discussion, as it were between two college students, is as disquieting today as when first written, some thirty-five years ago.
Forever Autumn, the Moody Blues. A very pretty mood piece. (I've got several songs each on winter, summer, and fall, but none on spring. Something odd about that, historically speaking.)
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, the Hollies. I've loved this classic since I first heard it. I also have a cover by Neil Diamond, which isn't nearly as good.
Do You Know the Way to San Jose?, Dionne Warwick. There was a time when San Jose was a small city. These days, even Fresno is booming...
Day-O, Harry Belafonte. "Daylight come, and me wan' go home."
Blue, Sophie B. Hawkins. I don't like the "Wilderness" album as much as I did "Whaler", but this one's fun - and funny, too. (What is that bit about her dogs?)
For My Lady, the Moody Blues. Sweet and sentimental, but I'm a sucker for that kind of song.
Uneasy Rider, the Charlie Daniels Band. More a monologue than a song, and just a tad on the vicious side, but very funny anyway.
Only Love Is Real, Carole King. Not one of her better-known songs, but one of my favorites of hers. Reminiscent and forward-looking at the same time.
Scarborough Fair / Canticle, Simon and Garfunkel. It's always an effort separating the two lines of this one, but the contrast between the two is powerful and the imagery vivid.
