I also thought about 'Man of the world', `Worried dream`and also `jumping at shadows', but 'Trying...' is special to me because I can feel the sadness even without apparent intentional affection.
Any other opinions...? |
I agree with you. All the songs you mention have the same 'feeling' or sentiment. In the Man of The World DVD, Mick Fleetwood said about PG's singing voice that 'it is so human', and he has got a point - because he (PG) has this ability to project feeling in a way that people can identify with. This is also his genius in playing guitar. He is able to communicate pure emotion - without making a song and dance about it, so to speak (excuse the pun). I think that the restrain in his playing actually makes people feel the emotions he holds back. A lot of guitarists display emotion but leave you cold.
