Thread Name: Origins: Someday Soon (Ian Tyson) lyrics meaning
Subject: RE: 'Someday Soon' lyrics meaning
Janice used-to-be-in-NJ-now-in-NY:
I had no idea that Annette O'Toole (redheaded actress perhaps best known for playing Lana Lang in one or more Superman movies) was into songwriting, let along that she had partnered with the great Michael McKean.
So, thanks for the info.
However, I beg to differ that anything by Mitch and Mickey (the fake, ironic Ian and Sylvia) could conceivably be "better" than this great number by the real Ian and Sylvia, probably the very best of all their songs.
"Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" is quite an achievement insofar as it is both extremely pretty and deliciously silly, but "Someday Soon" is seriously good. If you don't like I&S's rendition, listen to Judy Collins'.
