The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard


This may be a little too deeply personal for some, so reader discretion is advised. Don't know the reason, stayed here all season. Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie. How it got here I haven't a clue.
Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top, cut my heel had to cruise on back home. But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Two songs off the top of my head:

1. The First Time - a love song hit in the 70s which was really a love song written in the 50s by a British man and great song writer, Ewan McCall for his life long partner Peggy Seegar, Pete's half sister.

2. And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - especially as sung by Priscilla Herdman. It's an anti war song based on the World War 1 battle of Gallipoli, a terrible loss of lives caused by stupid generals. The words describe horror as the song proceeds and point out the futility of war as well as any song I've ever heard. Priscilla makes it especially terrifying as she has a beautiful voice and the contrast between her voice and the story only magnifies the lesson in the words.
