What do you think of this song that tells the story of an impossible love?

[exitseven]

Yes, this question was inspired by @Julie4 . It is about two people separated by circumstances.

TBH, it's not my favorite style of singing, but its story is quite powerful. The harmony is sometimes off a bit, and in a way, that adds to the story.

The Roches are 3 sisters that performed a long time ago, and they had that weird harmony and offbeat melodies as part of their act.

Not sure all I know the classical old school music is the best ever in history. Maybe is because I'm a old an old soul perhaps is the reason why I enjoy old music.

"Society's Child" (Janis Ian,1967) told a story about a proscribed teenage interracial relationship between a black lad and a white lass.

[Alwayreckles93]

@beefcakebradybatson cool I like how people back in that area made songs about theirevents that taken place in a lifetime. Sadly now a days this young generation don't make good music.

[beefcakebradybatson]

There's good music today as always, but it's buried under a sea of sludge from all genres.(Ever hear "bro-Country,"i. e, handsome but dumb cowboys singing about beer, pick-up trucks, the moon and country girls in Daisy Dukes and snug tops or bikinis? The empty calories of music).

[Alwayreckles93]

@beefcakebradybatson Oh ok I see what you mean and your point. When I mean horrible music I mean the crap that Ariana Grande sings.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I don't listen to her genre of music.

[Julie4]

It's a poetic narrative, full of metaphors and powerful images.

But what an original song

[exitseven]

It metaphorically reminds me of my own past.

[Mangospacho]

I keep thinking I’ve been to Fairfax County many times and I’ve never had to pay no “highwayman”. She must be talking about the days before EZPass

[exitseven]

I think this song goes back to the 70s

[Mangospacho]

Yeah. I think you’re right

[AI Opinion]

Songs about impossible love often resonate deeply because they capture the heartache and longing that many experience. The emotional depth can transport listeners into the story, allowing them to feel the characters' struggles and desires. Such songs often bridge the gap between reality and imagination, inviting introspection about our own experiences with love and separation. They create a connection through shared emotions, making the story and its accompanying melody unforgettable. 🎶❤️

They had a few really good tunes in the 70s.

[Daniela1982]

@Dongie Better than the crap they serve up today.

[Dongie]

Yeah. Something like we'll never have to say goodbye

[Dongie]

That's another one.
