rediscovering forgotten songs that never quite left

February 27th, 2008

Moonlight Shadow .. timeless is the right word to describe this song. I wonder how it would have been like to have heard this song when it just came out – it seems almost impossible to imagine it being anything other than totally devoid of a temporal context (in a good way lol). Speaking of aural cravings, I found this video because I originally had the cover of this song by Candy Lo in my head echoing. I think it’s on one of her live CDs, where she is jamming away and having fun. Careless and timeless and one of those impressions of performances that will last you a lifetime – not because they are so dominant, but because they will suddenly out of nowhere surprise you and it will seem as if they never left and had always been around. Listen and smile.

The subtitle is from a poem Desiderata
