Loading... Most of the new music I listen to that includes a vocal part is recorded in languages other than English. I’ve been listening to La Santa Cecilia for years, not understanding exactly what any particular song La Marisoul sings is about, and yet they’re one of my favorite bands.
Maybe that’s one of the greatest parts of being human: you don’t need to understand something to feel its beauty hit you square in the chest so hard it puts a lump in your throat. Hopefully I’ll get to see them live one day.

At 88 years old, Staton's voice was even more perfect for this tune than when he sung it for Paris, Texas in 1984. The look on Harper Simon's face in the last couple bars gets me every time.
If you haven't picked up Partly Fiction, Stanton's 2014 album, you should. His covers of "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" will blow you away. He doesn't steal them from George or Willie, but wears them like cracked old leather jacket he can't bear to part with.
