Oddly enough, I saw Paul McCartney a few days ago and he sang "Every Night" from his first album. It must have been written in the very late sixties for Linda. Technically it's not a masterpiece, but when he sang it alone on his acoustic guitar, it was one of the most moving and affecting performances I have ever heard.
We have these threads from time to time - and why not. My favourites are likely to change with my mood, the weather and what I had for breakfast this morning. I also like the sexy and overwhelmed mood of Lorenz Hart/Richard Roger's "Bewitched", traditional songs like "She Moved Through the Fair" and "Black is the Colour" and a whole heap of Dylan, Joni Mitchell and assorted rock songs which I will recall as soon as I have posted this. Probably one which few folks would regard as a love song is the Hooters "Dancing on the Edge". It's about the one you do not get to keep. I am off to put on "Karla with a K"...
