We saw Paul Simon at the Roundhouse tonight. He played a great cover of Jimmy Cliff's 'Vietnam' followed immediately by 'Mother and Child Reunion' - a song it was thrilling and moving to hear live.
This is a great album. I fell in love with ' numbers don't lie' the first time I heard it and bought the album 'What we lose in the fire we gain in the flood' as a consequence. I listened to the CD for the first time this afternoon...And then I listened to it again...and again after that. This is an album that has become an instant favourite and one to which I will always listen.
'Winter's Bone' is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. The music is a significant part of why it is a masterpiece. I would love to see this concert.
'Endelessly' from 'Deserters Songs' came on at random, while driving through the hills trees of West Sussex this sunny afternoon and was the perfect accompaniment.
