William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Something's Burning ; Year: 1970; Genre: Rock/Country Had some of the music from this band that predated Kenny Rogers' country superstardom that in its own right was extremely successful with a handful of hits. From what I understand, wot kept this track from really getting huge in the U.S. was that it was thought as "too sensual" for broadcast, but eventually got traction after it hit big in Europe and the U.K..  There is something about the quieter parts of the song as it builds that really takes it over that edge to make it the great track that it is.   Hear Something's Burning on YouTube.       My song pick 1 year ago today: Queen - I Can't Live With You   My song pick 2 years ago today: Deep Purple - Throw My Bones   My song pick 3 years ago today: Foghat - Night Shift My song pick 4 years ago today: Rammstein - Los My song pick 5 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Mirrors My song pick 6 years ago today: Jethro Tull - The Pine Martin'...

This song came into my head today after not hearing it for a while, so I figured that it was time to choose it. The lyrics of the song are quite weird and are related to an LSD trip; however, at the same time those lyrics are the main draw of the song. Here is a studio recording on YouTube. Here is a television performance on YouTube. +
