Unsolved Mysteries in Song

[DarcyFarrow]

Let's see how many unsolved mysteries we can find in music.  To start:  "Ode to Billie Joe" (Bobby Gentry) tells the tale of a boy who apparently commits suicide, but townsfolk don't know why:  "Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."  

What songs do you know that contain unsolved mysteries?

Where Do I Go From Here? - the Swallows

[MaVolta]

Catch the Rainbow  -  Rainbow

When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can see

Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of straw
Against the lace

We believed
We'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind

To the sun
Sail away
On ships of wonder
But life's

Not a wheel
With chains
Made of steel
So bless me

Come the dawn

[Raynyky]

The line in Ode to Billie Joe, as you started with, Darcie:

"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

I remember debating with friends over what that might have been.

Stay well and enjoy!

On Every Street (Dire Straits):

"There's gotta be a record of you someplace
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown, a picture of your face"
