Day 9: A song from the 60's (1966)
Always a good song and could have fit in a few of the prompts so far. I prefer Disturbed's version of the song- this one feels like a child's hope whereas the modern version sounds like an adult's despair. I suppose each version fit the feelings of the era.
I hope the next version isn't sung in mourning

The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

*edited to play the actual acoustic version, thanks for pointing that out @QuietCanadian*

Day 9: A song from the 60s

If ever there was a decade that came in like a lamb and left roaring like a tiger it's the 60's. From Ricky Nelson's lighthearted "Hello Mary Lou" and "Sugar Sugar" by The Archie's, both chart toppers in 1961 to the raw psychedelic masterpieces from Jimi's "Are You Experienced" What a time in music history, and not to be taken lightly. So I went somewhere in the middle, where nuance and reading between the lines in media was king.

Day 8: An acoustic song

I adore her. When I saw her live, she talked about this song of her experience traveling from California to Nashville by car. She said it wasn't a protest song, just an experiential one.

"I swear Kansas lasts forever, billboard calling me a sinner
My thoughts were screaming through the vast
Well they grew me in a bubble sheltered me from
All that rubble and said, 'baby history is just the past'
So I'm not even gonna try to write a song about America
It's too big and too daunting of a task"

"A Song About America," Olive Klug

The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

I prefer the original acoustic version before the studio laid electric guitar/bass/drums over it. I admittedly never understood the fascination with Disturbed's version though. It's fine enough I guess, but it's over theatrical (I know, dude's classically trained) and just makes me want to hear the original.

Day 10: A song from the 70s

Boogie Nights is a song from a before disco started to fall out of popularity and 3 years before the "death of disco" at the disco demolition night in '79. The death of disco is an event that pushed the Chicago club scene underground. These underground Chicago clubs are where you can find the origins of house music.
