My parents used to play old pop songs at our home and in the car during road trips. We'd sing along together to the beautiful lyrics and it made our moments much more special.
Elton John, The Beatles, The Carpenters, Susan Jacks, John Denver, Nana Mouskouri, and Joan Baez..Since I was too young to understand what the lyrics meant, and my dad would tell me the precious stories behind their music. For those reasons, I love oldies over so-called Hot pop songs that are on the radio 24/7. The sound of the acoustic guitar, the voice of the singer which hasn't been filtered through mechanical instruments, and the poem/storybook-like lyrics feel like they unravel in my head taking me to the place & very moment when the songs' been written.
Joan Baez is one of those musician that warms up my heart - especially her strong and clear voice is something that I can never forget.
