More TV soundtracks . .on Mr Mercedes? At it’s spooky best
Scary either way . . . . context is everything
[and clearly the budget must have got exponentially bigger and therefore afford more songs with serious clout]

Neil Diamond "Holly Holy” 1969 - 1971 [Mr Mercedes Series 3 soundtrack]
Neil Diamond "Holly Holy" on The Ed Sullivan Show 1969
. . .and another featured as part of a TV soundtrack . . . . . never the greatest Neil Diamond fan (what WAS he doing on The Last Waltz but then what the heck was Van Morrison doing in his kicking showgirl hhot pants too!?) Time dates us all hey?
Neil Diamond Talks About "Holly Holy" Then Plays It (Live 1971)
in context this song freaked me out on the programme and it is a VERY odd song lyrically and as Diamond goes on here, its about the feelings not so much the words but heck it is ODD? in the context of Mr Mercedes it is down right scary!

DION - Only You Know /Arctic Monkeys - Only You Know (Dion Cover - WRXP Session) | OZARK
DION - Only You Know
Great track from his great lost album Born to be With You.
Critically panned when it was released and yet an under the radar classic album (endorsed by Pete Townshend no less) this track was featured on TV that I am watching at the moment (Ozark! yes YES I KNOW late to the party, so sue me!)
so of course now it’s hip . . . . . thanks in no small part to these guys

At once the guitarist composer multi-instrumental musician and outright superstar of his generation. We miss stellar talent like this through the insanity of over prescribed USA medical treatment - be warned everyone else this is what happens when privatisation and multi-meds prescriptions takes over (see Michael Jackson et al)
Yet always worth remembering
"Prince was the only guy who could show up at your party, in frills and high heels and steal your girlfriend. Then steal her clothes and steal someone else's girl wearing your girlfriend's clothes.
Comedian Charlie Murphy
I’ll give them another minute and then let them catch me!
