This series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite
as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
The Hollies
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who
Knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
Oh yeah
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he
To bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
Oh no no
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
If I'm laden
At all
I’m laden
With sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love
For one another
It's a long long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way
To there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down
At all
Oh no
He ain't heavy
He's my brother
He’s my brother
Oh yes he is
He ain't heavy
He's my brother

Lean on Me
Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For
It won't be long
‘Til I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on
Please
Swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For
It won't be long
‘Til I'm gonna need
Somebody
To lean on
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need
Somebody
To lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
If you ever need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
If you need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Indeed.
DeleteBoth had their moments of greatness, but once the 80's -90's happened i had to rethink my entire taste in music.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Walking Man!!! I m not quite sure what you mean. My musical taste simply expands when I come across a different style (albeit merely to me) I like. Of course, that could be explained as a rethinking.
