What's your favorite single note in any song?
What? What kind of question is that? It's hard enough to think about favorite single musicians, or songs, or even genres. Favorite single note?
Well, for me, at least at the moment, my favorite single note is the ringing guitar chime at the opening of "The Kids are Alright." It's just so filled with energy, possibility, and the appropriate amount of angst. One resounding blast, followed by the plaintive lyrics...
I don't
mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I guess just another way to say, well, if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding.
