Diamond

Peter's Shape I'm In Fleetwood Mac covers have awakened the covers beast in me again, with my latest favourite being Christy Moore's take on Pink Floyd's Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Now, you couldn't find a more bloated, overplayed, over esteemed song (with the possible exception of that song by Queen) so it takes someone of the stature of Christy Moore to breathe new life and meaning into it. It appears on his new album Listen. It sounds like the compassionate song it was meant to be.
