I don’t know why I love this song so much only that I do. I first heard it on a ‘Best of the 70s’ album I bought on a CD and because the CD had so many other songs that I loved from the 70s on it in buying it I had this too! Having played it I was conscious that I had heard it sometime before but from the moment it was on my ipod I found myself adding it to my 70s playlist and enjoying it in the tube.
I love the lines ‘She ain’t got no money, her clothes are kinda funny, her hair is kind of wild and free…Love Grows where my Rosemary goes and nobody knows like me’ as well as ‘people say she’s crazy and her life’s a mystery!’
Maybe it’s because all of us know a ‘Rosemary’ (or someone like her) and we can all identify with this song and its message – the idea that some people live in their own world but we can’t help but love them..
Now listen to the song….
