I was thinking about the New Year today, found my mind wandering to music differences. When I was growing up, I listened to songs like: "from a jack to a king, from loneliness to a wedding ring. I played an ace and I won a queen. You made me king of your heart." I always liked that song!
But then I remembered another favorite: "stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to, when the nights are cold and lonely". Compare that to a recent country hit: "she's everything you're ever gonna need, and then I hope she cheats like you did on me."
Another comes to mind: "c'mon people now. Smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now."
Is music a sign of the times? Does it reflect what's going on at the moment? Or does it bode of things to come?
Either way, I believe music will be a part of the fabric of our lives. But sometimes I find myself wishing for the old times, the old tunes: "Sunday, Monday, happy days ....... "
Happy New Year to all! 🍾 🥂
