CLOSE

Sometimes you just have to be obvious.

Because today, no other track will do. After the wettest January since records began, the first day of February has brought brilliant sunshine. But doesn’t it look and feel quite weird? The really obvious thing to do would be to play Johnny Nash’s 1972 original but I prefer Jimmy Cliff’s cover from about twenty years later. I’ve been a big fan of Jimmy Cliff ever since I saw The Harder They Come when I was about 14. Just listen to that voice. As clear and pure as…..well…..as the sunshine over North London this morning.
