single, 1959
Written by Bobby Darin
Two fun facts about this song: it features Neil Sedaka on piano, and it was kept out of the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 by "The Battle of New Orleans." This song is about yearning for the right girl, even though the narrator hasn't met her yet. Somewhere, she might be out there for you, is the hope here. "Someday, I don't know how / I hope she'll hear my plea / Some way, I don't know how / She'll bring her love to me." This reminds me of the Blues Traveler song "Conquer Me," the part that goes "Whoever she is now, and whoever she'll become / I'd like to ask her to hurry please and if she's walking could she run." On this song, there's male and female backing vocals, rattling percussion, thrumming guitars, and silky strings. As in "Beyond the Sea," Darin's crisp, clean voice here has a gravitas beyond his years.
