Repeating this from Facebook. I really need to escape that cesspool.
Anxiously awaiting the return of my lovely bride this evening so cleaning up everything from the “me and the dogs” state of the past few weeks. I have WDGY on and this song came on and found myself singing along relating to it – at least the refrain.
That prompted me to look it up since although I have Bill Withers music, this particular song wasn’t typically requested at wedding gigs years ago.
Anyway, I never realized it was such a simple song. It has exactly 1 verse. It starts with the refrain, then the single verse (which doesn’t apply to my situation), another refrain, and then a (too) long string of “I know, I know, I know”s, and a final refrain to wrap it up.
(Chorus <> Refrain??? OK, so I don’t know my music terms – blame it on the nuns).
Cool song though and proves simple can have longevity as well – getting airplay for over 50 years.
