I just heard this old hit at a gas station--and it struck me again what a tour de force of strung together cliches it is--to the point of making an Eagles song (any Eagles song) seem incredibly profound. Yet, can you fathom how many copies this tune sold? Sadly, it was written by Joe South, who actually did write some reasonable songs. But...Along with the sunshine, theres got to be a little rain some time. Really? Ok--but how high do you have to be to look for roses growing on stalks of clover? (You better think it over.) Thats like looking for new cars at the used car lot. Thats like asking what kind of berries are in coconut cream pie. Thats like saying matching socks arent important--or waiting around at the finish line in the dark for the nicest guy to stagger in, after all the bars have closed. youtube/watch?v=WO4wcNVbYOQ
