Liner Notes:
1. Let's learn a little bit about Amadou & Mariam, shall we?
3. I am posting this video so you can watch it and love the drummers. That's right, drummers. Plural. Watch for them at 3:17 and again at 3:29.
7. Does anyone else feel like they should get up and dance the hora around 2:25?
9. Listening to this song sort of just makes me want to listen to this other song. OMG. Watch the drummer...That just looks painful. I actually never knew that that sound came from a human being.
10. You may have heard Madeleine Peyroux's cover before, but this acoustic version is even better. About 10 years ago, this became my first, real, favorite song. I had favorite songs before, but none of them have grown with time like this one has. If you want to break your heart a little more, you can watch this video. Honestly.
14. This probably sounds familiar because of this trailer. Thanks Wes Anderson.
16. Friends of friends of friends. This song is anything but fickle and anxious. It is the antithesis of all that. Just lovely.
