"Our World" by Johnny Tillotson

Just for fun I've been recording a bunch of old 45 RPM records onto a reel-to-reel tape for my brother.  I never realized how much easier recording onto tape was compared to recording records digitally.  It takes so much less effort: you don't have to worry about clipping as much, I'm not as anal about the edits, and then (if you want the levels to be a decent match) there isn't all the fooling around adjusting the gain.

Anyway, in retrospect this is an interesting song.  Many of us thought (hoped?) that the world would get better as described in this song.  Unfortunatedly that didn't turn out to be the case.  Bombs are still going "boom, boom, boom", certainly everybody is still not safe at night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kTgcwPDNNM and a lot of dances still end up being a war dance.  :(
