A final Joe Meek production for the blog this year. We will be hitting the three minute mark of songs by the end of the month and most of Joe's songs were short. This gentle song by the Cryin' Shames borders on easy listening, it is very melodramatic and has lots of orchestral touches with the strings and horns. I think it's in Eb major. There is a lot of dipping in and out of major and minor chords (especially G) so frequently it keeps your emotions in a state of flux. The song is so sappy, but I just love the strings and little staccato horns. It's like some kind of Hans Christian Anderson story. So sad, this poor guy wandering off 'on the road to who knows where'. But I think he will find true love once he gets away from this mopey singer crying all over him.
