Music Monday: "One Less Bell to Answer"

Today's song is "One Less Bell to Answer" by The Fifth Dimension. It was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. I l-o-v-e-d this song when I was about 10. I don't think I totally understood the lyrics back then, but I got that the singer was lonely. I've always been attracted to sad songs because they make me feel better. If I can pour all the sadness into the song, then I don't have to keep living with it.
