Glen Campbell

fionmul: 😌

• judd.baker +1 — love some Glen Campbell. I had not heard this song before
• Edward James +1 — For those who know the Sammy deep lore, I feel like this would be his preferred state to have existed in in the summer of 2022. Wandering the countryside in the state of deep existential depression. Quintessential male experience. An old country song is a great submission, but I think this specific one is what elevates it from a genre pick to a more inspired Targeted pick.
• Joseph Harvey +1 — This was a stunner - I could picture this cutting to Sammy's heart. Lyrics are mysterious and open to interpretation which I like.
• Claire +1 — I’d never heard this song before and I loved it. Struck me as quite Sammy coded musically but especially lyrically. Really beautiful, this is one I think I’ll return to
• shea nowicki +1
• SamRobertsND +1 — Like a Komodo dragon stalking its prey, this one caught up to me. I'm more familiar with Glenn Campbell's 70s stuff, and on the first pass, I thought "nice try, Sammy stereotype!" In my pride, I wanted to prove resistant to its charms. And yet, as I listened to the playlist several times over, I found myself spending more and more time on this number. The lyrics are fantastic ("you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory" - that is really great stuff). This country pop sound just seizes me on a pre-rational level, but the beat is also just so enchanting. Something you happened upon here, intentionally or unintentionally, is that I LOVE songs with a quick, driving beat (e.g. Mick Fleetwood pounding that bass drum is what makes so many Fleetwood Mac songs work for me). The bass guitar and accompanying picking here are too much too deny. It may be a stereotype, but dang if it didn't claw its way tooth and nail up the pack and onto the podium. Bronze!! 🥉
• fionmul 0 — Dr. Sammy, gentle forever on the St. Joseph River of our mind

• Joseph Harvey +2 — Absolute masterpiece. This is song is gorgeous and unique from start to finish, and the country vibes would nicely complement a Hangar porch sit. Sammy submission I’m guessing
• judd.baker +1 — Sammycore submission in the best way. Would 100% down a Fat Tire and watch the dying embers of a July sun to the strains of “I hear you singing in the wire…”
• Sam Ary +1
• Regina Scime +1
• fionmul 0 — Wichita mentioned! I liked this a lot but it got beat-out for me by some others that landed for me as better for the category. It’s a pretty subjective category though, thanks for this song. I added it to a playlist of mine :)
