| Three Dog Night – Easy to Be Hard (Hair cover) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
TDN borrowed this song from the 60s musical 'Hair'. A counter-culture, anti-war, psycedelic rock musical (that's pretty good with songs like this one, 'Walking in Space' and 'Good Morning Starshine'). Reflected what youth was going through at the time (the draft, Vietnam war, drugs, free love, civil rights movement, etc). Very turbulent time. There was a huge contrast between the youth culture and establishment. The song's about a young woman (Sheila) who is frustrated that her boyfriend (Berger) seems to care more about strangers in need (the 'bleeding crowd') and social injustices than he does about her. He's caught up in the causes but she's saying 'Hey, I'm important to you too...' The message is relevant to anyone who gets too obsessive about a cause or maybe their work and forgets about the people who are close to them. |
