When You Walk In The Room
... der schönste Song der SEARCHERS - hier aus der Sire era (in der die Band zwei phantastische Alben abgeliefert hat:
"Searchers" Sire SRK 6082 (1979) and SRK 6086 (1980); - offenbar nur erhalten als The Sire Session - Rockfield Recordings 1979-80
... fast noch schöner:
Searchers - What have they done to the Rain
words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1962 as "Rain Song" then in 1964 as "What Have They Done to the Rain" by Schroder Music Company, renewed 1990. a.k.a. "Rain Song" and "Just a Little Rain." People now think of this as a song about acid rain, but it was originally written as part of a campaign to stop aboveground nuclear testing, which was putting strontium-90 in the air, where it was washed down by the rain, got into the soil and thence to the grass, which was eaten by cows. When children drank the cows’ milk the strontium-90, chemically similar to calcium but radioactive, was deposited in their bones. Mothers saved their children’s baby teeth and sent them in to be tested by scientists who indeed found elevated levels of strontium-90 in their teeth. A year after this song was written, President Kennedy signed the treaty against aboveground testing.
