The Beatles version of “a little help from my friends” is nice but has no soul, so I knew straight away you’d be going for a version with heart! Gosh and I’m pretty sure you picked the best one 💕
I love the very real struggle you outline here. Some day it’s a molehill, some days it’s an endless mountain. Are we the mole, but we forgot? Perhaps we are the snake that ate the mole? None of this matters much, when you are in the dirt. The sun is persistent, and will poke through a hole to find us there… yelling for friends “she’s here!” And they will pull us forward, if not out of the ground ❤️
My dad always talks about this time in music too. I remember being a teen and listening to kind crimson, about 7 minutes had passed and the song was still going. What the heck? 12 minutes pass. 20 approaches- Dad didn’t you mean this was an ALBUM? No, songs just weren’t created for radio then…
They day of radio is all but over, yet the 3-5 minute song standard stayed. None of my generation commonly experienced music by playing the whole album again and again. I’m going to endeavor to do that with the Rush album you shared today- should be easy, I love them!
Thanks for a fabulous post, you FABULOUS being ❤️😘🤗
