One of the hazards of Random Weekends is that you can wind up with a snippet of a song that doesn’t work out of context.
Such is the case with today’s SOTD, ‘I Was Wrong,’ by Badly Drawn Boy. This minute-long track segues into its companion song, ‘You Were Right,’ which I featured on the blog more than five years ago.
For the full effect, go listen to that song right after this one. Together they make for a splendid one-two punch that serves as the centerpiece of the album.
I always hoped I’d build my world around you
And it’s a miracle I ever found you
Do the colors of the rainbow radiate to everyone
Now I don’t know how I could live without you
But certainly I know I’m not about to
I don’t believe in anything I see unless I can feel it too
And it’s a miracle I ever found you
Do the colors of the rainbow radiate to everyone
Now I don’t know how I could live without you
But certainly I know I’m not about to
I don’t believe in anything I see unless I can feel it too
Perhaps for tomorrow’s selection, the Random ITunes fairy will serve up Don Henley’s “A Month of Sundays.”😄
