30 Day Song Challenge - Day 29 - A Song You Remember From Your Childhood

[autographedcat]

We are nearing the end of our musical journey.  Today, we are asked to share a song we remember from our childhood.

So many songs I could pick here.  I got seriously into music young, and thanks to finding and acquiring my mother’s record collection at an early age, my musical taste has always skewed not just to the current but also to things that were released before I was born.

Still, I wanted to pick something that I remember from the radio, which is difficult because its not always easy for me to remember when exactly i picked something up.  But I remember really liking this song, even if I am reasonably sure I didn’t entirely understand it.  I just liked the sound of it, and the quality of that amazing voice.    Here’s Gordon Lightfoot, with his 1974 hit “Sundown”

Thank you! It is interesting to see things from your musical perspective. I have only listened to a few of the songs you have chosen so far, but I plan to go back and listen to them all when you are done.

I have forgotten nearly all of the hundreds of songs I heard as a small child, but I still remember "Horace the Horse on the Merry-Go-Round". I can only guess why. Some songs, like "Over the Rainbow", provide hope for the future, but "Horace" provides hope that present troubles may not be as bad as they seem.
