I love to have my iPod playing in shuffle mode. I have SO much music on my iPod that sometimes I'm surprised with what I have so it really is no surprise that I often rediscover music and artists. Sometime last night, I had my iPod playing in my car and Bobby Caldwell's Sunny Hills came on and I remembered hearing this as a kid and immediately fell in love with it again. Something about the beat, namely the flute sound, is what drew me to it. Now, as a kid, I could care less what the words of the songs are or what the song meant. So long as it sounded good, I was content. Hearing the song again, as an adult, I was surprised as to what the song might be about! As Bobby beautifully sang the words, it dawned on me that this song could be about a retirement home but the lyrics...they came off a bit morbid. How can a song, so beautifully sung, with a catchy funk beat, be about a retirement home? I'm determined to find out the meaning and history of the song so if you know anything about it, please! let me know! Here's the song in question:
I still LOVE it though :)
