This song came to me with music and lyrics after pondering Carole King's 'Natural Woman', chorus of which is paid tribute in 'Together'. What I enjoyed very much about the song is the lyrics which essentially are the textbook lesson of exactly what lyrics should be (ex: The moon in June and sweet perfume have been used in a million love songs . . . ) while actually in complete agreement with the lesson. The chorus then becomes the love song (can a love song NOT be somewhat trite? - maybe). . . 'We'll be together for a very long time . . . '
It was actually written quite a long time ago but I've always enjoyed the melody and changes and finally put it on "No Frills", more of which you can find out by following the hyperlink below.
Sometimes those things we take for granted must be mentioned and therefore their benefits extolled, no matter how hackneyed the words may sound. The one that crossed my mind recently, though in all honesty it crosses my mind frequently, was friendship.
I recently saw an amusing flick entitled 'Last Vegas', starring four, mature, male cinema icons, focus of which was friendship. Ageing was also an important element of the plot, but friendship (in my view) was the primary topic.
I am fortunate enough to have some friends whom I consider the very best. I do not boast an inordinately large number, but I'll match quality against quantity any day. They range from recently found to almost forty years. In fact, some of those older relationships had a lull between their inception and the present, but that many even account for the strength and richness they possess at the present time.
