Story Behind The Song

i wrote this song after we started losing more and more of the singers I grew up on

Song Description

the music of the past sang by legends gone still move you today

Lyrics

Whether it's country rock
blues or soul
The legends we lost took a major toll
Though they've been silenced
their music plays on
Bringing back the memories of legends gone
Remembering the eighty's
Styx and REO
Back in the seventy's
Jennings and Jones
And in the sixty's
the kinks and stones
in the fifty's
Elvis and fats domino
Took a major toll
no doubt for sure
Silence fell
behind bolted doors
No not yet
But they ain't truly gone
Cause there music plays on
Bringing back the magic
the tears and the cheers
washing away the heartache
drying all the fears
their music plays on
the echo rings so true
the legends we lost
still singing with me and you
Remembering the eighty's
Styx and REO
Back in the sulten years
Jennings and Jones
But in the sixty's the kinks and stones
in the fifty's Elvis and fats domino
They pored their hearts out in every line
A piece of themselves a sacred sign
Of the struggle and a whole bunch of joy
The victories and a whole bunch of void
Now the record spins a circle in the night
Holding on to the fading light
