Windy by The Association

About

Rhino.com has this to read concerning Windy: The song, about a girl named Windy, was originally about a boy. Songwriter Ruthann Friedman set the record straight with Songfacts: “I have heard so many different permutations of what the song was about. Here is the TRUTH. I was sitting on my bed – the apartment on the first floor of David Crosby’s house in Beverly Glenn – and there was a fellow who came to visit and was sitting there staring at me as if he was going to suck the life out of me. So I started to fantasize about what kind of a guy I would like to be with, and that was Windy – a guy (fantasy). The song took about 20 minutes to write.”
