old school(sixties and seventies)shades that have flat, not wraparound, lenses; popularized by musicians such as Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, and Billy Joel.
I found some sweet wayfarers in my dad's closet and they make me look like Billy Joel.
Wayfaring Stranger is a trandional country song, performed by many artists such as Johnny Cash, Neko Case, Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez and (for the soundtrack of Cold Mountain) Jack White.
The song is generally about death, a man dying and leaving turmoil behind to see his family and beautiful feilds.
You should listen to it. Johnny Cash possibly did the best job of singing it.
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
Travelling through this world of woe,
There's no sickness, toil or danger,
In that bright land to which I go.
Yes I'm going over Jordan,
Just going, no more to roam,
Only going over Jordan,
Just a-going to my home.
Ray Ban or Persol clear-lensed glasses worn with or without a prescription. Typically at night. Created in 1952, the glasses became popular among various Hollywood celebs. Today, young party-goers, also known as "scenesters" usually wear them when out on the town or in dark bars. When worn, these glasses make the individual look somewhat knowledgeable, stylish, and industry-savvy. Buddy Holly and Woody Allen are known for sporting these clear-lensed glasses.
