| There are a number of quite terrible Lennon tributes out there, made by people who seem to think, for one reason or another, that merely associating yourself with a man (or an event) of such gravity must make one's own art important as well. Fortunately, Terry McManus doesn't labor under those assumptions: this quiet, wistful, semi-Beatlesque song exhibits both craft and subtlety, not trying to make sense of John's untimely death but merely taking you back to that awful, cold December of 1980 and dropping you off there for a few minutes. In style and scope, it does the same thing for John's murder that Dream Academy's "Life In A Northern Town" did for JFK's (but in a less heavy-handed way). And the coda, with its ghostly echoes of John's musical trademarks, is especially haunting. By Robert Fontenot / About.com Beatles Guide | |
