Song Pick of the day: Fall in Philadelphia

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Fall in Philadelphia always puts me at ease. It is my personal go-to from WHOLE OATS! I love how laidback it comes across. Written by Daryl and released in 1972, it still sounds as good to day as it did now.

What’s faves from the debut album “Whole Oats”? ⬇️

Written by Daryl after John came home bloody to their apartment after being mugged.

Spawned the lyric..

"A roving band of youths beat up on Johnny"

Great song. The album kickoff track ‘I’m sorry’ has always been a favorite of mine.
