Such a long way to go...
Manage episode 291935349 series 1322274
I have long enjoyed the 1980 Christopher Cross song Ride Like the Wind. Listening to it this morning I realized that one of the reasons I like it so much is the backing vocals by the estimable Michael McDonald (he of the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and a successful solo career).
Oliver and I listened to the song this morning in the car: McDonald’s contribution–we counted–amounts to only four utterances of “Such a long way to go…” Nonetheless, without those the song wouldn’t be as delightful as it is.
Like salt, sometimes all you need is a little, but without that little the food doesn’t taste nearly as good.
(Clip from The Very Best of Christopher Cross, 2002)
