It’s a strange song from 1972 about a father leaving his wife and daughter while his child runs after him in confusion.
I love a weird bop and this one takes the cake. It’s unfortunately stuck in my head so I’m sharing it’s curse.

My dad is a drummer and has been learning this song (aka listening on repeat) I’ve been listening to this song basically my entire life and it always lived in my brain as a ā€œmusic songā€ more so than a ā€œlyric songā€ if you know what I mean… BUT hearing it recently I realized it has the most beautiful lyrics ever so it now lives in my head as one of the best songs of all timešŸ™Œ ā€œā€¦ Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no moreā€¦ā€ šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’—

THIS REMINDS ME OF WHEN…
On halloween night, I ran into my friend dylan at the bus stop for a bus that never came. We all decided to walk home together and he told us that he had been walking for over 3 miles because he and his friends were too drunk to drive home from a party. (and lucky him! he got to walk home for even longer since the bus didn’t come) He talked about his 3 mile journey and how he kept hearing cayotes which really made him really pick up the pace, he was practically running home. I’ve never seen more drunk fear in someone’s eyes than dylan talking about the cayotes, ā€œthe cayotes mannnn they were after meā€
the lyrics go ā€œWhen you’re on your own. It’s a long walk home. If they follow you, dont look back, like dylan in the moviesā€
bonus it’s a good song!

If you love extravagant costume design ā€œWhat A Way To Goā€ is a must! The dark comedy features a dynamic protagonist, Shirley McLane, alongside her lovers (hunks Dick Van Dyke and Paul Newman to name a few) finding tragic ends and ridiculous circumstances with fabulous set designs and fashions. Enjoy!
