One song my mom brought to my attention late in her life, early in decline was this. I had asked her what was popular when she was a kid growing up and she gave me this.
Oh shit, now I am crying.
In all seriousness, I think my late mother, knowing she was in decline, pointed this song out to try to say she could identify with me being an oddball. "Little Sir Echo"... Think about being isolated, in a canyon, and you shout and your voice is the only thing that bounces back, and all life seems far away.
I truly think that my late mother was telling me, despite our differences that she understood what it was like to feel isolated wanting those around her to understand her.
Certainly this is not modern pop. But personally knowing it was a song she grew up with, and went out of her way to point out to me in her last days, this song really hits home to me and means more than anything in the world to me.
