Songs that have stood the test of time.


Jackson Browne "These Days"...

Covered by Nico, Gregg Allman and more... it has the staying power, even now!

This has to be one of THE great songs still!

There are many more. What are yours?

Hava Nagila  by unknown, but sang and played by whole bunch of artists and all together too.
Money For Nothing... sang by whole bunch of R&R singers and musicians at a time in famous video.
Hava Nagila of course. (We are, after all, talking about songs that have stood the test of time.) I have no idea what that song is about but I have danced to it many, many times. It's a mitzvah!?!

Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" is a great song and covered by many. But his "All Along The Watchtower"is more personal and subversive. Hendrix covered it best but there are many others....

If I'm understanding you, such a song would combine great music with great lyrics that touch timeless, intergenerational themes?  Songs like:

"Yesterday" 

"Wind Beneath My Wings"

"Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
