Jay777 Powerful Songs That Make You Uneasy - 2 (162* d) RE: Powerful Songs That Make You Uneasy - 2 09 Jul 08

Soap Opera, by Harvey Andrews, from his brilliant Writer of Songs album, 1972 (still one of my most played).

It's about a paedophile, and makes me uneasy because the song makes me feel sympathetic towards him, which I wouldn't in real life, of course.

The album has other controversial songs too, inc. The Soldier (already been discussed at length on Mudcat) and Hey Sandy.

I rate Harvey as the best English singer/ songwriter we have, but that's just mho!
