Good Monday afternoon, and yes!! It has been a while since the last posting of GSOTD... I will be adding three songs to today's post and Playlist...Enjoy the music... Blues: Lie To Me by Johnny Lang. A musical prodigy, Jonny Lang was just 15 years old when this song was released on his major label debut album, also titled Lie To Me. In a 2017 interview with Lang for Songfacts, he said: "I don't think I related to any of the songs until I was in my 20s, as far as life experience goes! At least not in a way where the meaning I could understand. I wasn't necessarily singing from a place of experience - it was just more from a place of just singing music." Hip-Hop/R&B: In The Dark by Swae Lee & Jhene` Aiko. “In the Dark” is a collaborative song by Swae Lee and Jhené Aiko. It was featured in the soundtrack of the Marvel Studios film“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”. The song captures a plea for recognition and appreciation, emphasizing that both artists deserve more than what they have been given. Folk Rock/Country Rock/Singer-songwriter: Old Man by Neil Young. "Old Man" is a song written and performed by Canadian rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Neil Young from his 1972 album Harvest. "Old Man" was released as a single on Reprise Records in the spring of 1972, reaching number 4 in Canada, and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending June 3. The song was written for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for US$350,000 in 1970 (equivalent to US $2,637,446 in 2022). The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals. Have a blessed day...Take care and GOD bless...
