Ah, Music Mondays, always such fun because I never know exactly what song I might give you. If you’ve been following my Music Mondays, looking for a common genre, theme, etc, and find one, let me know! 🙂 😉
This week I’m sharing a treasure that I heard via YouTube. When autoplay is on, you just never know if you might end up listening to a new favorite and that’s what “Danko/Manuel” is. When the music begins, a lone drummer is providing a simple beat, followed by the base, and then the lead guitar riffs that I find echo in my head long after hearing it. Add Jason Isbell’s voice singing haunting words and this is a song that sticks with you.
The song was written as a tribute to Rick Danko and Richard Manuel, members of The Band, who died far too young.
Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.
Maybe I can only hear it in my head.
Fifteen years ago we owned that road
Now it’s rolling over us instead.
Songwriters: Jason Isbell
Nice song indeed
Yes. After one listen, I was hooked by that riff and violin. 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
Yes!
Let the night air cool you off
Tilt your head back and try to cough
Don’t say nothin’ ’bout the things you never saw
Let the night air cool you off
🎶🎵 Yes! 😀
