| Paul Simon – You Can Call Me Al Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I was 18 when i went over to South Africa in 2005 i worked in an orphanage in Kimberley, Northern Cape right in the middle of the country. It's not an extremely pleasant or beautiful place and doesn't conjure romantic images of Africa...but if you want to experience the real africa go to Kimberley, a town that came about soley through the presence of diamonds and the greed of the west. South Africa's issues have always been entrenched in a tug of war between clashing culture's, values, religions and desires, the imagery of walking and rising to one's feet and finding one's place in the world applies so much to Africa in general and Paul Simon continually turns to this through out the song "a man walks down the street", "last shot at redemption" etc... A man walks down the street It's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the third world Maybe it's his first time around Doesn't speak the language He holds no currency He is a foreign man He is surrounded by the Sound, sound Cattle in the marketplace Scatterlings and orphanages He looks around, around He sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity He says Amen! and Hallelujah! That verse sums up every westerners view of Africa one that is tainted by the past and shadowed in fear, in finding solace in 'god' is just so true. You see all these people from outside africa coming to the orphanages, schools and at border crossings blessing anyone they could find trying to releive these people of there misfortunes which is hilarious as the "west has continued to pillage from this great continent and in return offer only spirtual comfort. I am not religious and I went over there with no intentions on saving the world, just to live and enjoy a different culture and do something rewarding. I can see where Paul Simon went home back to the states and wrote this song looking back at his experiences, and don't get me wrong I think his an incredible songwriter and musician and the things his done to highlight african music and people in general is fantastic, but to tie in with my rant the chorus "If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty, when you call me You can call me Al" Is included to sell records and symbolises the corporate greedy west just making money of Africa. Wo that was preety full on serious discussion i launched into for such a bouncy easy listening song, its just an issue thats close to my heart is all lol |

| Lou Reed – Dirty Blvd. Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This is so like Lou's attempt at Americana Sing Along's like Bryan Adam's "Summer of 69", John Mellancamp's "Jack and Diane" and anything by Bruce Springsteen. The simple guitar intro and hooks, vivid story telling and vocal hook "Fly Away" is just like those 80's anthems but it's just so Lou. | |
