| Yo La Tengo – Gentle Hour Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| @[benjimouse:50803] I know a guy who somehow knows the words to any song you can imagine. He sings as well but would be better suited to sticking with song writing. He claims that he wrote the lyrics to "Different Strings" when he was 17, and then sold the rights to them for $200. The song ended up on Rush's Permanent Waves album in 1980. He does not make any claims for writing any other songs, but is always sure to be clear that he wrote the lyrics only and not the music. It is his only claim to musical fame. I have no reason to believe that it is not a true story, and even if it is not, who doesn't enjoy a good lie? | |
