When Hal David wrote these poignant words many years ago, who would know how relevant they would be so many years later. Jackie De Shannon recorded this song back in the mid sixties and it still rings true today.
So little love and even less God leaves us feeling desperately alone. Funny we spend so much of our lives wanting to be loved and understood and yet spend the least amount of our time making it happen.
This song has shown up many times over the years. Perhaps most memorable for me are those countless times Mr. Lewis changed the tote board on Labor Day year after year.... this song would play while etching those beautiful Hal David words and that Burt Bacharach melody upon my heart....
