One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Sinking Feeling” by The Hangabouts with Molly Felder!!!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

My radio show, “Theme Attic,”  is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET.

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

The Greatest Songs will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

Here’s a link to have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”: https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

Tonight is the Full Moon known as the Strawberry Moon.

Every year for the past several years, I have played a really nice duet by multiple Philby Award winners, The Hangabouts featuring vocals by Greg Addington, with help from Molly Felder of Swan Dive, on their “Kits and Cats and Saxon Wives Album!” (Futureman Records)

“Sinking Feeling” has a line that references a strawberry moon as well as Boblo Island.

I can’t think of another song that mentions the island, which-at one time, featured a fairly large amusement park that you had to take a boat on the Detroit River to get to.

When I was a kid my older brothers would take me into the extremely loud engine room section, which always scared the hell out of me!

Yeah. Good times!

Therefore, the song has a bittersweet romantic memory for the lead singers, as well as some childhood memories that I can’t revisit.

There are some really nice touches in the arrangement!

The guitar sounds like it’s under water for that “Sinking Feeling” effect!

In the instrumental sections, there are some very nice “Strawberry Fields” keyboard phrases as well as some low key shimmering vibes!

Everything about the song melds together beautifully!

One of The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded is “Sinking Feeling” by The Hangabouts with Molly Felder!!!
