What's in a song

Last week I heard Linkin Park’s Waiting for the End for the first time while driving home from work. Initially, when I heard the repetitive piano note I thought it was the theme song for the Battlestar Galactica. But it wasn’t.



Then the melody of the song reminded me of a song from the 70’s. The lyrics were completely different but I know I sang it as a child. I thought and thought and hummed the tune for 24 hours before it finally came to me! Seasons of the Sun.


I must have listened to Waiting for the End a dozen times trying to deconstruct the pieces. Now I can’t get the song out of my head. If such a thing as an electric kazoo existed, then I think they play one towards the end of the song.

Ha, I posted "Waiting for the End" months ago. YOU weren't paying attention. ;-) It IS a fun song, isn't it? Very melodic.
