Only a Dream in Rio

Title: "Only a Dream in Rio"

Artist: James Taylor

Album: That's Why I'm Here



This song seems appropriate for the first James Taylor post on this blog. I had forgotten how much I love it. The last time I heard this song was when I was eight on my family's many long car-rides up to Vermont. I used to make my mom play it every trip. Now that I found it again, it's brought back wonderful memories. For those of you not into the "old-school" stuff, James Taylor came into the picture in the early seventies. He's been continuely popular with the adults of that generation, like my mom and dad, but most teenagers don't know about him. I think it's a shame. His music has more soul and power to them than anyone elses. This song, for example, is the type of song that makes the heart clench up and the spirit soar. No one else can make music like him. If I had to thank my parents for one thing that they've ever done for me, it would be introducing me to James Taylor at a young age. My love for his music has never faded, and I can say with certainty, never will.
