🎶 Stewball song analysis
The performer wants a racehorse named Stewball to be his. Stewball is described as having a silver bridle and a gold mane, and the narrator is aware that the value of his saddle is immeasurable. At a crowded carnival, Stewball is among the other horses competing in a race, and the narrator declares that if he had bet on Stewball, he would have been a free man. The narrator is far from home and laments the cries of owls and the moans of turtle doves. He ends by wishing that Stewball was his horse and that he never drank water, but always wine.

The Hollies - Short Biography

The Hollies is a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1962. The band's original lineup consisted of Allan Clarke (vocals), Graham Nash (vocals, guitar), Tony Hicks (guitar), Eric Haydock (bass) and Don Rathbone (drums). The band's early music was heavily influenced by American R&B and rock and roll, and the group had several hits in the UK in the mid-1960s. In 1968, Graham Nash left the band to form Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and was replaced by singer and guitarist Terry Sylvester. The band continued to have success throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with hits such as "The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." The Hollies have gone through several lineup changes over time, but the group continues to tour and perform relentlessly.
