Song of the day

do you want to know the history of a folk song? submit an ask or dm me and I'll cover it

"Little Boxes" Malvina Reynolds, 1967-70s

originally written by her in 1962 and first recorded by her friend Pete Seeger in 1963. where it was his only charting single in 1964

the song is a fun satire, poking fun at the crushing normativity that was present in the 50s and 60s.
