I really don't think they write songs like that anymore. I mean, ones that have a kind of narrative. And this song has a particularly clever twist using a change of pronouns. By the way, thanks- as always- for your comments.
And is it David Gates and Bread or just Bread? Hmmmm. I couldn't sleep last night because of this song. Kept playing over and over in my head and I started making up my own verses for it.
What a night.
Oh what a freaking mess about that Turkish wedding and the groom with the AK-47? When I was in Bosnia they did the same things at weddings but usually with a pistol.
It began as just "Bread" and then it became the longer version. I suspect some feud in the band caused the clarification. A friend of mine and I were just talking about that wedding disaster and it may surprise you to know it has happened in the past but not on quite that scale.
I never knew all the words to this song, I just kind of found myself staring blankly at the words disappearing on the screen.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a moving song.
