Stepping outside she is free

I'm not feeling "it" today. I'm sick. Still.
I can go for some laid back music. Here's a great Beatles (McCartney) song done by two of my favorite singers; Harry Nilsson and Esther Ofarim. You have probably heard of Nilsson, if not look him up for God's sake, but most have not heard of Israeli sing Esther Ofarim. Not only is she a fox but she can blow! She has amazing pipes but more so she is able to feel the lyrics and bring emotion into each performance. I had once posted her version of Randy Newman's 'In Germany Before the War' which shows her great emotion and interpretation. Here she is followed by Nilsson performing She's Leaving Home:

That's why i love mankind...

It's miserable out there today. On a day like this Randy Newman's cynical lyrics and sad music is a great companion for the dark moody sky. Here is God's Song



In Germany Before the War is another depressing song but this one is not about how God doesn't care about mankind; it's about a child murderer. This is a truly haunting song and an amazing performance.



Another sad one. This one is about water, somewhat fitting for today. Louisiana 1927:
