And the one song I will feature from this great artist from the US is «The Boy in the Bubble» from the Graceland album of 1986. The single was released in 1987. This song, which I really got into when it was released, was written by Paul Simon and Forere Motloheloa, a musician (accordionist) from Lesotho. The song’s light hearted melody and music becomes a counterpoint to its lyrics which deal with much darker issues such as starvation and terrorism. The song reached the top 30 in the UK.
Do you remember this song? What do you think? After all aren’t these the days of miracles and wonders? Or are they?

Thank you so much, Francisco, for the music of one of the greatest composers and singers of our times, together with his musical partner, Simon. I didn’t know this song, and I am grateful for your introduction. You are right, those were magical times as we were young and full of confidence that we could change the world.

Simon and Garfunkel were right up there for me, so I was a bit apprehensive about this album from Paul – but it worked – and this was a particular favourite of mine off of that album. Good choice Francesc.

Absolutely a masterpiece. Paul Simon’s brilliance shines here…. Poetic, prophetic, and forever underrated.

True my friend, this song was underrated but I think it might have been ahead of its time. I think it fits more into these turbulent times of miracles and wonders. All the best!
