I found this while sourcing material to accompany Bianca’s interview with Richard Russell of XL Recordings. It’s the title track from Gil’s final studio album (2010’s I’m New Here). I was immediately struck by its stark beauty, and of course Gil’s deeply resonant, soulful, expressive voice. I love the unobtrusive backing and the gentle pace. I love the attention to storytelling detail. I just really like the warm feeling it gives me inside.
There’s a tribute from Wallace Wylie here, if you want to read more.
My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music.
The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena.
I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
