Day 96: April 6: London Town
"Seldom seen and quite unknown"
Deep track from Dad Loves His Work sees James at his most pensive. James has come to the realization that who he is not who he was and not who he wants to be. For me this album is really James' admission that he is a grown up- and the songs here (and to some extent JT) are a bridge between young hippy James and old folkie James. This one is nice and not to be missed.
Paul also has a song with this title and it's beautiful. I remember discovering this song on a Wings album an older friend had when I was in middle school and it has been a favorite ever since. I had never seen the music video (that I can recall) before today. It's a bit silly- and brings out some of the silliness of the lyrics, but the melody is close to perfect.
