Joey Ramone - What a wonderful world

https://youtu.be/yCW7Aw8ugOI

Sheena is a punk rocker - Ramones

I was 8 years old when I first heard this song (62 in Feb) later I had a go and became (what I like to call) a modest singer/songwriter.
Though my style is nothing like Bobbie Gentry's, I can't think of a bigger influence (popular music) on my listening and writing than her.
The distant laconic delivery, the lonely voice, but mainly the masterly setting of the real time  scene through different angles/characters.
When listening to this whole wonderful Album you get hints of it in preceding songs. The whole thing is a masterpiece 

* A special mention to Jimmie Haskell's gorgous strings arrangement (Young Fagen and Becker must have noticed too cause they used his services a few years later...)

Sam Fender did a really interesting doc on the late Alan Hull from Lindisfarne - available on Iplayer. A really good watch and Sam came across really well.
