old at 22 yer breaking me up here
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() maybe yer taste has changed some and those old songs kust bring back memories of good times heck i remember buying the new songs on 45s yer post did make me think of Johnny Cash's song tho The old man turned off the radio Said, "Where did all of the old songs go Kids sure play funny music these days They play it in the strangest ways" Said, "it looks to me like they've all gone wild It was peaceful back when I was a child" Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys Are trying to be heard above your noise? And the lonely voice of youth cries "What is truth?" A little boy of three sittin' on the floor Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?" "son, that's when people fight and die" The little boy of three says "Daddy, why?" A young man of seventeen in Sunday school Being taught the golden rule And by the time another year has gone around It may be his turn to lay his life down Can you blame the voice of youth for asking "What is truth?" A young man sittin' on the witness stand The man with the book says "Raise your hand" "Repeat after me, I solemnly swear" The man looked down at his long hair And although the young man solemnly swore Nobody seems to hear anymore And it didn't really matter if the truth was there It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair And the lonely voice of youth cries "What is truth?" The young girl dancing to the latest beat Has found new ways to move her feet The young man speaking in the city square Is trying to tell somebody that he cares Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild Are going to be the leaders in a little while This old world's wakin' to a new born day And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way You better help the voice of youth find "What is truth/" |

There are many good songs out there. You just have to know where to find them. Who are some of your favorite singers and groups?

The problem with finding good music is it depends on how much you've been exposed to and like already. The broader your listening base the better chance you have of finding something new you like. Personally, my favorite genre is death metal but there's scant few bands popping up these days I enjoy. Imitation is an unfortunate byproduct of success, and eventually it can be next to impossible to find true originals amongst the sea of replicas. My advice to you is to start poking around in other genres. Rap, jazz, blues... search all over. And check out Pandora.com if you're not aware of it already. Free internet radio based on your listening tastes. Hope that helps |
