Sandi Thom
November 30th 2006 02:38
Yesterday I mentioned Live Aid, and a singer who very much wishes to be back in that era, and during the years when Woodstock wasn't commercialised is Sandi Thom. Her album, Smile, it Confuses People is full of her desire to have lived back during the Hippie or Punk days.
I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69, revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care.
She makes an interesting point, the Hippies and Punks rebelled against authority in totally different ways, and yet, as she points out, does it really matter which of these you support?? the real enemy is the authoritarian societies.
I dunno, maybe you think it does.
Here's the track listing
and you can go here to listen to samples of the album.
Give it a chance, When I first heard of it I assumed it would be crap, but the lyrics are good, and the music, whilst certainly not Punk, has an interesting combination of the beauty of hippie music and the rythym of Soul music.
Peace
