Thanks AndyJ, Giselle69, Proclivities and others for your comments on this song. They definitely increase my openness to it. And that's what this forum is all about, right? And THANKS to Bill and Rebecca for RP!

I guess the next song will be one of the Beach Boys just to do them right.

Not many songs are unlike any others and this is quite nice in its own right (not damning by faint praise) quite nice.

A lovely melody that evokes a lot of pleasant images and emotions. One of my favorite RP songs. Unlike some other, good tunes, I might not ever get tired of this one.

Everything changes and there is no going back. You're always here or there or you stay home.
Home becomes something you carry with you and re-create whetrever you go.

Sandberg is worth reading for everyone... What he wrote so long ago seems appropriate to so much of today.
I'm one who has always taken the "one less traveled".

Giselle62 wrote: Thanks for that. It often seems that many of the "music critics" who post in these threads apparently fail to acknowledge that any music even existed before the 1960s. There is a strange delusion that everything musical can only be traced back as far as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Pink Floyd, etc., and that traditional chord progressions, which have existed for centuries, were miraculously "invented" a less than 50 years ago. If the only tool one has is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. |

Sloop John B is probably an old Jamaican song.

Yes, its totally Sloop John B. And that is what makes this song so great. It's an update, a remix... oh those blessed days.. and now, so new again. If I had never heard of the Beach Boys, I would sit crossed legged on the floor, in awe. As it is, I fell down, and thought I'd just sit down here for a bit while this played. My butt hurts.

That Beach Boy s song is almost 50 years old. Don't think it has perpetual rights to a certain rhythm and sound. And it probably borrowed from an even older song itself. |
