Richard Harris - "MacArthur Park"
While on a flight in a little pond-skipper, a friend turned to me and said, "Look around you. Now take away the wings, and the body of the plane, and the oxygen masks, and the seat beneath you. Now look around you again." I feel the same way when I listen to "MacArthur Park". When you take away all the history of music, all that came before, all songs and all meaning, and you find yourself in this swirling galloping seven-minute insanity, there's that feeling beneath. How did we ever get to this? We're hurtling through the air at top speed, and for what? You may understand, or understand less, when he hits that high note. [Buy A Tramp Shining]
