jill scott

over the weekend, along with elliott smith i downloaded three tracks from jill scott's first album, a long walk, i think it's better, he loves me, which i used to listen to one after each other, in that order, back when i was with J (*), my first girlfriend, loving the sense of being in love that jill scott brings to the vocals...

then listening to godma G's radio broadcast (over now by the way) and for the second time i hear her play this track i'm listening to right now, common featuring jill scott, i am music...

and she sounds so heavenly...

lovely to hear G's dulcet tones too...

* but you know i'm not sure i've located that memory correctly, partly because of the year that album was released, and then the memory of wanting to be in love, but not actually being in love, must be after we broke up... this is one of the things i love about W G Sebald, the questioning of memories... also one of the great aspects to the film me & edge caught by accident that day...
