Post #10 song lyrics

"I remember when I was a lad times were hard and things were bad, but you could here us singing for a country mile,
Just four people thats all we were trying to make a livin out of black land dirt, we would gather in a family circle singing loud,
Daddy sang base, mamma sang tennor, me and little brother would join right in there, cause singing seems to help a troubled soul." (Cash) Daddy Sang Base

I thought for a long time about this. I use song lyrics as a memory exercise and know the words to many songs. I use those songs to help myself feel better when I am down. One of the first songs that come to mind when I feel a little blue is a song by Johnny Cash: Daddy Sang Base.

It is the last line written that makes me feel better.

This says it all for me. I love this assignment as it helped me realize that not only have I listened to poetry (Music ) all my life, but that I love it.
