Heard this song —
You know it is not about a girl at all. He did that song a few weeks after his brother was murdered. Stabbed to death. The pure and total emotion in that song — was about his brother. Total love for him. Just dripping emotion and tears.
I don’t think anyone could have captured the pure love in that song without such pain in his voice. And it was really for his brother — not a girl. At all. Really makes perfect sense in a way. To me anyway. I was always closer to my brothers than any girl I guess.
Really a one of a kind song. It will never really be replicated. In every single modulation it is pure love and emotion. Really no way to capture that feeling if you did not live it and he managed to capture that,
I am so liking youtube here. Brings back so many memories. Strange old songs. This from 1966.
