Garden and barn at Littleton Historical Museum. Ellen Mackey 2011 |
Try
to imagine these days someone writing a simple little song about planting
a garden. Then imagine it becoming a big hit.
Yeah,
I can't imagine it either. I mean, I can see Mumford & Sons using garden
imagery, but infusing it with something more sinister than a crow watching
hungrily. The crow would probably need to peck out the eyes of memory, or
something heavy like that.
I
suppose in the 70's more people had a little garden they tended on their farm
or in their backyard.
I
have a particular affection for this song because I was able to pluck it out on
my little guitar, even with my limited guitar skills.
It’s
available for free download on Freegal.
