Cello Song



Dear James,

Here's a cover version for you. It beats the original until the voice comes in, and then you think about how Nick Drake really did have a very particular voice, and how hard it is to sing like him. Then you finish your whisky and go to bed, it's 3am and there's a translation of a report on nanotechnology in Ibero-America to be done tomorrow.

I have an album by this Jose Gonzalez fella somewhere. When I remember I have it and listen to it, I think: "Hmm. That's nice". And then get bored and switch it off. Pity.
