Homework: Favourite song


What is your favourite English song at the moment?


Personally, I can't stop listening to "Going home" by British singer Richard Hawley. His sound is very laid back and at times he sounds like Country and Western singer Johnny Cash.
This track starts off like a Velvet Underground song. It's very simple, only 3 or 4 chords and hardly any drums - just a snare somewhere in the background.
The lyrics aren't very original either. One of the verses is a re-write of the old blues song Trouble in Mind by Richard M. Jones (but I LOVE Nina Simone's version).
Nevertheless, I can't stop playing this song.
What about you? What's your favourite English song of the momment?

Tell me about your favourite song at the moment.


Say:


Who sings it,

When you first heard it.

Why you like it,


Add any other things you think are important.


Add a picture of the artist and the song lyrics please.
