Most of the favourite love songs by Buddy Holly that I had listed
here were deleted from the internet, so I just have a few left.
When I was a teenager I knew a girl by the name of Peggy, and associated her with this song. I don’t know who sang the song, but I know a lot of singers all over the world sing everybody’s songs. I think this love song was written about one of the guy’s girlfriends that was in the Crickets.
Again, I must have heard this love song by Mickey Most. As a teenager I think I was looking for lessons in life and love. That song says: “Go ahead and ask her.” I grew up shy, and was so scared to ask a girl out. I won’t go into any details here as to how things happened. You have to work out your own love life. Good luck.
So many songs have catchy phrases, that I find them running in my head all the time, like this one. There is another song that I will probably do on my next page, where a girl sings “Baby Maybe.” I guess in the music industry they call them ‘hooks.’ “Maybe baby you’ll be true.” The problem with having a pretty girlfriend is that every other guy wants her too. There is a song I have heard on he radio where they sing: “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, don’t make a pretty woman your wife.”
I have heard this song on the radio in Canada, and I presumed it was written by Buddy, but I see it was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. I remember reading about them and all the famous songs they have written for the Everley Brothers. I find it interesting how people have written about love and the problems that go with it. This song is an example of that. I had a young lady in my taxi the other day that wanted to learn how to write songs. Each song is like a message to hungry hearts, to try and find the right way.
I saw the movie, and they showed the minister of the church preaching against him, but when I read the book, it said he was friends with the minister, and they donated their royalties to the church. So you can’t always believe what you see in the movies. I heard one of the guys in the band say that there were no hills in Lubbock Texas, but in the movie there were hills in the background. Anyway, I hope he made it to the holy hills of heaven.
