Remember the Year in Music

life can be defined by the music that we hear—my heart sings for you Well John and Mitchy were getting kind of itchy, cause it was kind of a drag to not be groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon. So I said we’re going to San Francisco and I don’t care how much money I gotta spend, so we can fly. Here, the hometown looks the same but, you’re gonna meet some gentle people there and the rows of houses are all the same and nobody seems to care. Nothing is real and there’s nothing to get hung about. So there’s not a trace of doubt in my mind that when logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead, you can either stand in the pouring rain or hide behind rainbow’s wall. Now, it was on the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day you asked me if there’ll come a time that we’ll go riding along on a carousel. I thought you looked too good to be true. You told me, “I aint never loved a man.” But baby, I need your lovin’ and I know what you want…baby, I got it. So let’s spend the night together and don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow. Then, all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love. That’s when we skipped the light fandango because we both knew that all you need is love.

Hello Jerry, what a brilliant and creative way to capture a moment in time! Taking those iconic lyrics into a seamless narrative gives it a nostalgic yet fresh energy. It is like flipping through an old record collection and feeling every song come to life. It’s a journey through memories, melody, and meaning. Beautifully done! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
