Best song ev-er. (Well one of them any way.)
So this morning I'm washing up breakfast dishes and staring out the window into my back yard and I think I need some John Denver. Now it's not often that a thought like that crosses your mind and even less often when you have the means to satisfy that desire. So I pop in the greatest hits cd and listen to some classics like Country Roads and Annie's Song and even demonstrated to the one year old how to dance a jig to Thank God I'm a Country Boy but then I called the children to silence and told them to listen to one of the greatest songs ever recorded- Sunshine on My Shoulders. This song evokes emotion in me and I believe that's a hallmark of greatest in any art. I imagine John sitting somewhere far away from the sun as he pens this wistful, melancholy ode to sunshine and the way it 'almost all the time gets me high'.
