Galveston (song)
"Galveston" is a song written by Jimmy Webb and popularized by American country music singer Glen Campbell who recorded it with the instrumental backing of members of The Wrecking Crew. In 2003, this song ranked number 8 in ''CMT's 100 Greatest Songs in Country Music''. Campbell's version of the song also went to number 1 on the country music charts. On other charts, "Galveston" went to number 4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the "Easy Listening" charts. It was certified gold by the RIAA in October 1969.〔(RIAA searchable database )〕
The song is considered as the official anthem of Galveston Island and the City of Galveston, Texas.
==Background and writing==
Campbell's recording of the song, released in 1969, was perceived as being a Vietnam War protest song,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/weekly_article/the-pop-protest-song-the-stylus-magazine-non-definitive-guide.htm )〕 but Campbell performed it up-tempo, conveying a more general message. The protagonist is a soldier, as shown in the original promo video with Campbell dressed up in a military outfit. Webb described it as an anti-war song, and challenged Campbell's version of his song and the notion that it was in any way a "patriotic song".〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T_oT8Vp9hU〕
