Music Monday – “Everyone is at the mercy of another one’s dreams” (“Angels” by Sam Baker – A Song for Bombing Victims Everywhere)

Sam Baker is an amazing songwriter I discovered while attending the Fred Eaglesmith Charity picnic in Alymer, Ontario in 2006.

Part of what makes him so amazing is that he really shouldn’t even be here, having survived a bombing that killed three other people while riding on a train in Peru in 1986. That experience informs much of his work and if anybody can knowingly comment on the Boston bombings (and the bombing of people in general), he’s the one.

(Warning: The story he tells about surviving the bombing before playing the song “Angels” may be disturbing to some people.)
