Randy newman is my favorite artists and I own all his albums, but I gotta say, when he hits certain notes it looks like someone us jabbing him with a pointy stick.

@ZiggyStardust35 yeah i love it too but lately im not liking any flag they seem to all get bloody sooner or later which i guess is what r newman might be saying anyway sorry im kinda slow on the uptake

I think this is appropriate for today.*"Into every life, a little rain must fall**but it's not gonna rain forever."*

@MaabudZ really? oh you mean the second verse about being free etc, yeah its a clever song

Brendan Barry

One of his greatest songs. So economical. So little said. So much left unsaid. So many lovely empty paces. I also love that slight hesitation in the delivery of the notes, something he did previously with 'I Think Its Going To Rain Today'.

I listened to Rednecks for years thinking I'd gotten the irony of it. Only recently (10 years ago?) did I catch the irony on top of the irony in that song. Randy is certainly a master of that style.

"The best dream man has ever dreamed "in 4500 years is in process in the United States. Freedom & liberty ,to the extent it exists now the world ,is a direct result of our proactive efforts promoting freedom . To deny the totality of that result due to historical ignorance , arrogance or petty political bias is proof that some 'iealists.'just pretend to be .One doesn't need to be Einstein to recognize the dream of that flag's meaning in spite of self righteous arrogance of perfection.

Ridiculously bad song.

madhoneydew

well said. think of the difference between saying something and showing it

madhoneydew

by writing such songs and listening to them, there is of course that good hope. it's just hard to see. it's impossible to say such painful beauty, but that's why he is SHOWING it.

Marnavot

This is just an amazing song. My only hope is that people see the irony in it (and not take it literally ).

Kevin Létourneau
