Breathe - Dan Bern
Dan Bern caught my attention when I used to go to the public library and take out CD´s to discover new music and copy stuff I knew and liked but didn´t own. I found a couple of Dan Bern albums and I realized that he was a great songwriter. I recommend giving his stuff, especially the older material, a good listen. He has some gems. However, my favorite song by far has to be Breathe. It says a lot of deep stuff for a pop song and reminds me a lot of Taoist philosophy. If you want more of Mr. Bern I would then recommend, New American Language, from the album of the same name. The things he says about love in this ring so true for me that I can´t help but laugh. Finally, one more to get you going, I will recommend God Said No. This song really captures well the idealism we all harbor somewhere in the back of our mind thin...
