Thread Name: Origins: Do You Love an Apple?
Subject: RE: Origins: Do You Love an Apple?
Every now and again ancient threads get revived by autobots, or those who want to hijack a thread to draw attention to their own web presence on a video, web page or social media following thingy. The mischief makers will also often create a mythical "do you know what this tune/song is?" excuse to drive people to view a youtube video. It's all a game. Back to 'Do You Love An Apple?' I once heard this decades a go at a little 'session', and the melody just lodged in my head. It is truly beautiful. I couldn't remember the odd title, and it faded into the distance of time. So when the Internet came along and youtube, I was so grateful when the dormant memory and tune popped into my head. I was able to track down the Bothy Band's spine tingling version, and many others. The words may not be 'politically correct', due to the theme of staying in a hinted abusive relationship with undying devotion. But historically that's the way it was, and should be judged in the context of the time it is set.
