Our song for the week - O Mary Don't You Weep - got me feeling nostalgic
over memories past and friendships that have faded away
Two versions of the song struck me the most -
The slow and melancholy version we sing together in class
and the considerably more upbeat version by the Swan Silvertones
Which is where I get the title for this post
"There are a lot of tears in the Bible," a raspy voice says at the start of the recording
A clear reference to the content of the song
But then the music starts and its upbeat and makes you want to dance
All in all
O Mary Don't You Weep made me nostalgic in a sad and happy way
Sad these things are over
But happy they even happened
