Thirty Days of Song - Day Eighteen
Day Eighteen - A song from the year you were born
Simon & Garfunkel - I Am Rock (Sounds of Silence)
I was honestly shocked when I went to look at songs from 1965 and found this one on the list. It always surprises me that S&G's entire ouvre was produced before I turned six - they broke up in 1970.
And yet their music is still as relevant as it was when it was new.
As for I Am a Rock, when I was a lonely, friendless teenager, I had the lyrics scrawled over every notebook and binder and book cover. I think I probably wrote "Islands never cry/And rocks feel no pain" a hundred times during my horrible ninth grade.
