Riff: Paul Simon – “Graceland”

Dec 11, 2014

She means we’re bouncing into Graceland/And I see losing love/Is like a window in your heart/Everybody sees you’re blown apart

from Graceland lyrics by Paul Simon

Elvis knows more about breaking hearts than repairing them, but no doubt he’s the inspiration here. Let’s hope apartheid isn’t the key ingredient in forgetting about lost love, but rather inspiration for independence. Certainly nothing oppressive about these low basslines & optimistic affirmations.

Chicago native slowly acclimating to Austin. Travels near and far in search of tunes that hit the heartstrings and musicians that fight to keep the dream alive.
