5. "For a Spanish Guitar" by Gene Clark is my favorite song of all time, without reservation.
|
The whole song is prefect, but these two verses are just perfect: And the laughter of children employed By the fantasies not yet destroyed By the dogmas of those they avoid Knowing not what they are Just to laugh through the columns of trees To soar like a seagull in breeze To stand in the rain if you please Or to never be found According to Rolling Stone: It's been widely reported that Bob Dylan had this to say about "For a Spanish Guitar," arguably Gene Clark's greatest effort: "  It's) something I or anybody else would have been proud to have written."
Against gracefully descending guitar chords, Clark distills Dylan's poetic mysticism down to its emotional essence. In the song, he examines the troubadour's plight: his or her effort to draw in the great wide world of beggars, laughing children and seagulls, and to render that world in song and strings. Clark muses, as best he can, that "the answers they cannot explain/ pulsate from my soul through my brain/ in a Spanish guitar." |
