You know, I was never a big Peter, Paul, and Mary fan. It's not because I didn't like what I'd heard by them, but because I just wasn't really exposed to much of their music. Sure, I've heard "Leavin' On A Jet Plane" and "Puff The Magic Dragon" plenty of times... but I never bothered to explore deeper. And I've also heard "The Wedding Song (There Is Love)" by Paul Stookey lots of times, but never really stopped to listen to it. Until today, that is. Today, "The Wedding Song" was a featured song on SingSnap.com. So I went to YouTube to listen to it and determine if I wanted to try it myself.
Make no mistake about it. This is an old fashioned love song written at a time when no one even imagined the day when there would be legal gay marriage. The words are very traditional and a bit religious, since Stookey alludes to God. The melody is beautiful and the sentiment is lovely. I read that Stookey wrote this song for Peter Yarrow's wedding. It was a wonderful gift to the couple and is now in the public domain for everyone to enjoy. Anyway, I got a lot more comments on my version of "Vincent", which I also did today... but I think "The Wedding Song" turned out very nicely.
Incidentally, I love Don McLean and his song, "Vincent", which I also recorded today...
This one got a lot of nice comments.
A Norwegian guy who had a lot to say today attracted my attention. It turns out he has a nice voice, so I did a duet with him.
There were other recordings today, but those were the better ones... Aside from "Baby, Now That I've Found You" by Alison Krauss. I love singing her songs.
So I'm done now. SingSnap is a fun time waster. It beats watching 7th Heaven.
