Your favorite songfact you've submitted

[Mike]

Over all these years, and hundreds of songfacts I've submitted, I recently submitted my one of my favorites; Picasso's Last Words from Band on the run. Not my first favorite, that still remains City Of New Orleans from Hobo's Lullaby.

What's the your favorite submission?

For John Mellencamp's "Lonely Ol' Night, I submitted the following:

The lyrics, "He's singing about standing in the shadows of love, I guess he feels awfully alone" refer to the song "Standing In The Shadows Of Love," which was a #6 hit for the Four Tops in 1967. "Lonely Ol' Night" reached the same plateau.

I saw the writer of the article and thought to myself, "Oh pleeeeeassse tell me he didn't..."

My favorite was when I received a letter from Johnny Townsend...this is what he wrote about the song "Smoke From A Distant Fire"

I love this part -

I love songwriting I guess because I've always enjoyed puzzles, crosswords, anagrams and the like. It's different every time and I still couldn't tell you exactly where they come from. I think many of the great melodies are universal melodies that exist out in the cosmos somewhere and certain people have the knack of reaching out with their minds, hearts or spirits to bring them back to us."

I love coming up with phrases that just flow form a place no one has ever been, or could even go to, because it's just a place in your head. Lennon had a lot of these, 'course LSD played a minor roll?
