Two songs of the day in as many days? What a purple patch! Alas, a link rather than an embedding, due to EMI's stringent copyright laws.

Ethereal wizardy from Reed, Cale et al. Listen to those drums. Perhaps the most simplistic drumbeat until Just Like Honey, it carries much the same impact; a real haunting and chilling backdrop which is accompanied by a piano with its strings entwined with paper clips for a bizarre noise. It works. Brilliantly.http://looprevilsoundandfury.blogspot.com/2010/08/song-of-day-06082010.html0dchesworth87@gmail.com (The Sound & The Fury)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609210267554242184.post-8344483415210628966Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:50:00 +00002010-07-14T10:50:01.751+01:00DanSong of the DaySimon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence From motion picture The Graduate (clever, you see), a nice effort from Paul & Art.
