Whaaaat ? Maybe a bit of consideration for a suitable name might not have segredated them. Is that a subtle reference to Stevie Wonder on the cover?
Another example of presentation to appease. Great music RP. Love ya.

Yes, that would be the elitist view. On the other hand, maybe people just don't like the song. It is kind of repetitive.

I'm perfectly fine with other's musical tastes, whatever they may be.  That doesn't mean that they are not provincial and narrow minded.

Catchy, then again I'm a sucker for low notes - bass lines, cellos, baritone sax.

I guess it couldn't occur to you that since this album is about Mali, that maybe the photo says something about kids there trying to learn some basic stuff.

Don't be so critical...it'll give you an ulcer.

What about the music, nice, heh?

I laughed when I read the name of the artist. It's like, after Blur and the Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and The Queen he's run out of band names and he's reduced to using his own name. Or maybe he thought no one would recognize him in this work otherwise, because I never would have thought this was Damon Albarn. This is interesting.

This is why I like RP.  One get to hear ''foreign'' music.

Thanks! :)

You don't like it, switch the station. Really simple.

I don't think negative responses to songs really matter. COULD YOU HAVE DONE BETTER?

If so, why aren't you getting any airplay? HMM?

Hmmm...I'm real surprised to see the relatively low rating for this one, especially seeing all the positive comments. ...a good solid 8 from me anyway....

This gets a 10, if only because it's from such a great album. Now if only Bill could play "Sunset Coming On."

Yes, son, and you would disappear in a Mutual-of-Omaha Blur.* Better just stay put and enjoy the pseudo-experience of it all. *pun intended (see below)

Agreed - this is the third or fourth time I've heard it and I find it quite appealing now. Somehow it fits in with the Joe Cocker-Morphine set. btw, wasn't Damon Albarn the guy from Blur?
