Howdy Fatima!
HUGZ back
I say it is country....just ANOTHER country, Australia! ;-)
(Hey, it has Guitars, right?)
"The Seekers - I'll never find another you (1968) "
As long as I'm mentioning The Seekers, here is another of their love songs, Love of Country, that is:
"Seekers - I Am Australian, Waltzing Matilda,"
(I apologize for "Georgy Girl" between the two songs)
+1 for She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy, Keeper of the Stars, When You Say Nothing at All, Just to See You Smile, Your Man, Whatever It Is, Where’ve You Been, and the songs about love of Texas (and America - how bout God Bless the USA, and the South - there are several but I can’t come up w/the titles - Brad Paisley’s latest for example)
Taylor Swift: Ours
Paul Brandt: I Do
John Michael Montgomery: I Swear [this is the one I can’t believe nobody else listed - always fills the dance floor]
Greg Bates: Did it for the Girl
Dustin Lynch: Cowboys and Angels
Remember When - AJ
Blake Shelton: Honey Bee
Where’s Confederate Railroad’s, “I Like My Women A Little On The Trashy Side”?
Not sure I get the connection between the link you posted and the country song I chose..., but I thought of one more, even more obscure, “Island of Dreams”, written and performed by the Springfields, and covered by The Seekers:
I wander the streets
And the gay (’when it meant something different’) crowded places
Trying to forget you
But somehow it seems
my thoughts ever stray
To our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams
Thanks for the link and beautiful photo of Gogi. I think The Wayward Wind was the first country song I learned. I was just a kid, listening to the Top 40 in my bedcat night on my pink GE table radio, the kind that needed tubes. That link was like a time machine.
Hugs back to you! Thanks for the video!
