Today’s challenge is “a song that’s a favorite from any genre.” R.E.M. is one of my top bands. I respect them for disbanding when they thought it was time, but I miss them. They have so many songs I never get tired of listening to. Though “Losing My Religion” was probably overplayed on music television, both the song and the video are classic.
Jim arrived here around noon today after Tim picked him up at the airport. We haven’t seen him since the month before the flood in 2017, so this visit is long overdue. Just as always, it’s like those years never happened. As the four of us sat at the table and talked, it was easy to remember why we started writing together. Just missing Timmy from the group!
I’ve got that on a 45! I used to play it and all my other 46s while skating around campus (on tape, later on CD).
But to walk the song searcher for one I like in any genre, that’s a tough one! So, I’ll pick another from my 45s:
Land of Confusion – Genesis
The B side is Feeding the Fire.
Genesis! The video for “Land of Confusion” was great! I think of that song every time I mutter, “Superman, where are you now?”
Does Jim prefer not to have his photo posted? Glad you guys managed to get together.
Have I put none here yet? I didn’t take many, but no, I don’t think he’d mind. The guys got so used to my incessant photographing of them that they no longer expect anything different. This doesn’t mean they don’t roll their eyes or complain if the camera comes out, it only means I’m forgetful and don’t take it out as much. I blame phones for that.
