A couple of months ago I bought a Randy Newman CD - Lonely at the Top. Although I have listened to his tracks one at a time over many years I have not listened to an extended sequence of them. I find I really have to work rather hard to get inside them; they are certainly not "easy listening", Many are quite disturbing. I am particularly moved by In Germany Before the War and by the lines "I am looking at the river, but thinking of the sea".
Anybody else listen to Newman?
