Songs of My Life: Song Number 1
dum de dum dum diddly dum
G G G G G C C dum-dedum de-dum
...
"Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Wind would whisper and I'd think of you
...
Remember yesterday
Walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand
I remember you..."
I wish I could communicate how this song makes me feel....Those chords. That acoustic guitar part with the hammer-on on Cadd9. Those soppy words. That melody. Those guitar solos. Those guitar solos! And more importantly those guitarists who remember this song the way I do...whose eyes light up when I play it...who drop everything and play it for me at the slightest hint. Yeah. I love those guitarists :-)
If you don't know the song I am talking about, you won't understand how those first few bars just make me smile inside, or how I sing along in spite of my no-singing policy, or how the solos incite air-guitar temptations from little old me, or how it makes me think fondly about all the guitarists in my life.
Sigh.

Since when did you worry about nice? ;)
I like some cliche things. Cliches can be cool.
I love this very cliche song becuase of the people it reminds me of...and just because.
