30 Day Song Challenge – Day 28: A Song That Makes Me Feel Guilty
June 22nd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Well, this is certainly a strange topic. I can’t think of any songs that make feel guilty. And, even if I could think of one, I don’t think I’d want to share it with everyone. However, there are certain songs for which I feel a tinge of guilt for liking simply because I know a little about the background of the song. For example, I don’t think anyone can help but feel a bit of guilt when listening to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, knowing that the members of that band had to go through so much discord and heartache to create such a beautiful collection of songs. As well, there’s the following song from The Rolling Stones that gives me occasional pangs of guilt. My favorite part of this song is towards the middle when Merry Clayton’s voice cracks from singing so intensely. Recently, I read about how she actually suffered a miscarriage due to the strain of singing this song. So yeah, that’s kind of changed the way I listen to it now.
