Sounds of the 70s still echo around in this world.

Echoes - Pink Floyd(1971)

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I was planning to post some of the lyrics here, but then I realised I couldn't choose which part.

So I'm gonna say it with the words I remember somebody saying on songfacts (more then a year ago, I think it was Joe or S2V, I can't find it anymore)

You're crazy if you're not thrilled by every single note of it.

Some notes of earlier times also echoed into the 70s, leading to one of the best covers ever (imo).

I heard it through the grapevine - Creedence Clearwater Revival (1970)

Listen here

You know that a man ain´t supposed to cry, but these tears I can´t hold

inside.

Losin´ you would end my life you see, ´Cause you mean that much to

me.

You could have told me yourself that you found someone else. Instead,

I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine.

This should be a top70... :stars:

"Echoes" is one of my ever fave tunes since it was released...and no one speaks and no one tries, and no one sings me lullabies, and no one makes me close my eyes, no one tries, no one tries...

Oh, my, how I love this song!!
