If you like folk music, as I am sometimes want, then you’ll enjoy this gem from the 1970’s folk artist, Vashti Bunyan. A teacher of my son made him a CD, and this song appeared alongside theme songs from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Beatles and Queen - a good teacher indeed. The song is charming and cute but not without a sense of adventure. I imagine it captures what so many wispy-voiced indie females long to capture but cannot, striking as they do, an annoying and cliched chord that betrays too much effort.
Here’s to the long-lost art of folk music.
