So, this is my final post on the 30 day song challenge. I chose this song because I'm a bit of an introvert. I don't mind being alone, it does not make me feel sad or lonely. I don't like the city much, at least not to live there. It is not just the subject matter, but the feel of this song that I like. This song, Johnny's Garden, is off of the album Manassas. It is a 1972 double album by Stephen Stills and his band, also named Manassas.
From the 1972 debut album Manassas featuring Stephen Stills

@norcal I've heard of that group, but I couldn't tell you any of their songs.

The group is not super famous, but the leader of it is Stephen Stills from Crosby Stills and Nash.

Thanks for listening. Isn't it amazing how many great songs we have forgotten?

@norcal -- yes, and the fact that, back when this got airplay on the radio, they'd play 15 songs in a row and at the end start naming off the songs ("that was Little Feat with 'Roll 'Um Easy,' and before that we heard Jackson Browne with 'Before the Deluge,' and before that....."). It took me three weeks to find out that Warren Zevon did "Accidentally Like a Martyr," because I'd always hear it and love it on the radio, but lost track of the count by the time they named everyone.

Although we do get out and about a lot, I cherish the times when it is 'just me'. I can't cope with too many people all the time.

When I was younger I felt like I needed more people around, but not any more. I can go for days without ever leaving the house.

I've never heard of this song before. I can see how it would be your song.
