In 1964, a vocal duo pulled off an interesting feat. If I'd only read the lyrics of "A World Without Love" without ever hearing the music, I'd expect a tune that's decidedly melancholy. I'd be wrong to assume that, though, because Peter And Gordon sing it with matter-of-fact confidence that makes the tune unexpectedly palatable and even pleasant.
I'm glad that oldie is on my mind today. A breezy tune trumps an overwrought one, in my opinion, regardless of my mood.
