Lyrics:

He was working through college

On my grandpa's farm

I was thirsting for knowledge

And he had a car

Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child

One restless summer we found love growing wild

On the banks of the river on a well beaten path

It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, oh bittersweet

Green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

I still remember

When thirty was old

And my biggest fear was September

when he had to go

A few cards and letters and one long distance call

We drifted away like the leaves in the fall

But year after year I come back to this place

Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, whoa-oh, bittersweet

Green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Yeah

The fields have grown over now

Years since they've seen the plow

There's nothing time hasn't touched

Is it really him or the loss of my innocence?

I've been missing so much

Strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, whoa-oh bittersweet

And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet

And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Lyrics:

30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan

Bridges gettin' lower, the shrimp boats coming home

But the old man down in the Quarter slowly turns his head

Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said

I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Underneath the Louisiana moon

I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June

The high black water, the devil's daughter

She's hard, and she's cold and she's mean

But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water

To wash away New Orleans

A man came down from Chicago, he's gonna set that levee right

He said, "It needs to be at least three feet higher

Or it won't make it through the night"

But the old man down in the Quarter

Said, "Don't you listen to that boy

The water'll be down by the morning, and he'll be back to Illinois"

And I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Underneath the Louisiana moon

I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June

The high black water, the devil's daughter

She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean

But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans

30 miles off the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan

Bridges gettin' lower, the shrimp boats coming home

But the old man down in the Quarter slowly turns his head

Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and this is what he said

I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Underneath the Louisiana moon

I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June

The high black water, the devil's daughter

She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean

But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water

To wash away New Orleans

And I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Underneath the Louisiana moon

I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, it comes around every June

The high black water, the devil's daughter

She's hard, and she's cold, and she's mean

But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water

To wash away New Orleans

And nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water

Song Of The Day - Feb 3rd '23

Faraway Look - Yola

After 9/11, country changed. It lost its touch, its spark. A rise in nationalism brought about the country that most people think of. The "I love my dog and my truck and The USA" country. Suddenly the genre which was once the lifeblood of the working man became the laughing stock of the entire nation. However, in recent years, there had been a resurgence of country in the classic style that we know. Artists like Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Orville Peck, and Kasey Musgraves have brought in a new country, the kind of country I know and love. One of the best among these artists is Yola. This black, British artist is doing country better than half of the white men that Nashville cranks out every other year. Her blend of country and soul is what the genre truly needs, a refreshing voice that returns country to its original form: storytelling. Her fierce vocals and brilliant songwriting abilities are showcased perfectly on Faraway Look, the opening track of her debut album, Walk Through Fire.

Faraway Look is a whimsical tale, a reflection of Yola's life. She watches a loved one as they go through life, a strange distant look in their eyes. There is something in the way they walk. They are pondering something, pouring it over and over. They're a distant daydreamer, and Yola wonders what's going on in their head. The instrumentals add to the mysterious nature of the lyrics. They float. They build. They give Yola's transcendent voice the backing she deserves. A perfect blend of a wide range of instruments. The song builds until it culminates with the final message of Yola's song, the chorus: "That faraway look in your eye/it's getting harder to disguise". This person has some kind of secret, a desire to escape, and it's starting to show.

If there was any song that I could use to attempt to describe myself, it would be this one. Not just lyrically, but musically as well. I like to think of myself as whimsical, I'm really not. I'm a realist who forces herself to find the silver lining in everything, even though the logical outcome is still stuck at the back of my mind. But I am a dreamer. I dream all the time, even when I'm not supposed to. It's a bad habit, but one I doubt I'll ever get rid of even if I wanted to. I'm often distant from the world, but the world doesn't have everything I want from it. At least it's not in my reach, not yet.
