Paul Kelly - Every F'ing City

Paul Kelly - Every ....... City

Paul Maurice Kelly (born 13 January 1955, South Australia) is an Australian singer-songwriter, based in Melbourne, and widely considered as an icon of Australian music.

His output has ranged from bluegrass to studio-oriented dub reggae, but his core output comfortably straddles folk, rock, and even some country. His lyrics, simply and laconically voiced, have managed to speak to Australian experiences and history perhaps more broadly and directly than any other artist, from "Bradman"1, about the Australian cricketer Sir Donald Bradman, through "To Her Door"2, a tale of a struggling couple's breakup and attempts at reconciliation, to "Every Fucking City"3, a darkly comic story of a backpacker chasing a former girlfriend through a Europe

A wonderful song - certainly reflective of the experiences of many Australians, I do wonder if it is a worldwide phenomena?

Thanks for the posting - yeah, I'd say so - except for the Irish! In my experience they do not come over in couples - more segregated. They know what's going to happen...

I put it up for my house mate BooBoo - she's the one who introduced the song to me. If she'd get her little arse in gear and give me some photos of her trips to Europe - it would be a lot more entertaining!

Are you listening BooBoo?
