This chapter is dedicated to all singer-songwriters. In my opinion Scandinavian Music Group, Anssi Kela, Egotrippi, Maija Vilkkumaa, Pauli Hanhiniemi and Ambassadors represent the top class of Finnish music. Scandinavian Music Group's "When the trees are doing cobweb", Maija Vilkkumaa's "Summer", the Ambassador's "Set the lights in balance", Pauli Hanhinieme's "Tell me something", and Irina's "Silence" are all very beautiful songs.
There are lots of excellent musicians and singer-songwriters. Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Nick Cave are classics. Ryan Adams is a songwriter of God's mercy. Eddie Vedder, Amy McDonald, P.J Harvey and Ana Moura represent various nationalities and types of music. But the joint thing is talent. Eddie Vedder possess lots of musical gifts, but also dignity. A quality, which is not typical for our times.
Crickets are chirpin, the water is high
Theres a soft cotton dress on the line hangin dry
The windows wide open, african trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye, not even a note
Shed gone with the man in the long black coat
Bob Dylan: Man In The Long Black Coat
