Music Monday is a meme started by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek. Pick a song you really like and share it.
So today is unusual.
By now you probably know that I love music and so when my friends and I get an opportunity, we do a karaoke-kind-of-happy-hour, which doesn’t start at five or seven but more around 10 pm and when we’re at the beach sometimes we see the sun rise and wonder how that happened.
This past karaoke at the beach my friend, Wing, did a beautiful song that I’ve never heard before and really, now that I hear the original, he did it so much better. I wish I could provide you with my friend’s version, but I can’t. So, alas, here is Don McLean’s version without the emotion and voice of my friend. Enjoy!

Long time since I heard this song. And I have heard it.
I’m glad I’ve found it. Hard to believe I’d never heard it before.
I heard it ages ago. I’d love to have heard your friend sing it, because it was a good song, but something was missing.
He’s a long time favorite songwriter and this captures a truth of grief well. We never understood. Thank you.
You are so right. Thanks. 🙂
