SO MANY THINGS HAVE GOT ME DOWN  The only long song on the Search Party album, “So Many Things Have Got Me Down” has stuttering musical passages and shares sentiments common in 1960’s young people: “I don’t know why I’m hanging around, so many things have got me down / I alone, all alone, no one to talk with, nobody needs me / I want someone to share the nothing that I offer . . . Some have said that God is dead; others complain about what is said . . . My friends say religion is a private club for those who can’t face the contradictions of life”. (September 2014) |
