A "phantom record" that showed up in the Billboard chart in 1979 despite never being released or aired anywhere. It took until 2016 for someone to actually find it. |

The first song I remember hearing that was written by J. D. Souther was Linda Ronstadt singing Faithless Love.

In memory of Kris Kristofferson (June 22, 1936 – September 28, 2024)
I have many memories of his music both live and recorded. In an interview Kris said, "This song probably was the most directly autobiographical thing I had written. In those days I was living in a slum tenement that was torn down afterwards, but it was 25 dollars a month in a condemned building, and "Sunday Morning Coming Down" was more or less looking around me and writing about what I was doing. One time, some people broke into that place, and I had to call the police station to answer some questions about it, and the guy said, "Yeah, they really trashed the place when they went in there." But I hadn't noticed that it was any different. There were holes in the wall bigger than I was. It was quite a place, so "Sunday Morning Coming Down" is kind of more or less what I was living at that time. I guess it was depressing, I don't know, but the chorus was kind of uplifting. ... What I was really trying to do was to keep the feeling of loss and of sadness. For me at that time, it was the loss of my family and looking at a little kid swinging on a swing and his daddy pushing him. That was the feeling I wanted to get for the whole song. I think Sunday was the choice because the bars were closed in the morning and nobody was at work, so if you were alone, it was the most alone time..." Last edited by DNSB; 09-29-2024 at 07:34 PM. |
