This week i chose the song "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Me and this song, we go way back. I remember being with my dad at the farm when i was little, feeding the cows and this song was playing on the radio.It reminds me of summer time. I definitely have feelings of nostalgia when I hear it. My aunt Collette and I would sing this song at the top of our lungs on our way home from wrestling tournaments when i was in high school. It makes me want to live in Alabama. It is such a jam and in so many movies. Listening to it three times for this blog post was hard to do because I have heard it more than a million times and know every word haha. My favorite part is the beginning when the banjo or guitar (is what it sounds like, i could be wrong) starts out. Right when you hear that tune you know what song it is and I get a feeling of excitement and feel bad for those around me because they are about to attend my concert. I have to sing along. This song makes me happy whenever i listen to it. It's so catchy and fun. It’s such a classic, you can't help but love it. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the only one that can sing it. I have heard covers by other people and they are never comparable to him
I really love this song! I decided to write about Stairway to Heaven, but this was a close 2nd. Just like you, this song makes me think of memories with family and friends. I also really like the intro with the banjo too and all in all the song is a great one!
ReplyDeleteThis song I think is A wonderful song the banjo at the beginning I agree is the tell of what's coming and I to have to sing with the song all the way through I have made great memories with this song with all my kids and they will have great memories like you have.

ReplyDeleteI love that this song remind you of the summer time and when you were younger. I love having a connection to a song that being me back and you never forget the song. Its a really good song.
ReplyDeleteSuper that you have such a connection with this song. It's always awesome when a song can evoke strong feelings like that. I also really liked your take on the riff and lyrics of the song.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that this song also makes me feel sad. It reminds me of my previous play time with my brothers and friends. ,When I am playing with them ,i feel relaxed.I actually miss them.
