Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”

I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so…

On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing a word, that will put shivers up your back (or at least it did for mine!)
