Albert Camus

Cover of 2020 Tom Rosenthal Song.

I managed to pronounce Camus’s name correctly. I read “The Plague” in high school, I intend to reread it. Song is 160 BPM, I played it at 140 BPM so I could sing it reliably. Rosenthal’s phrasing is typically quirky. This is the third Rosenthal song I’v covered. He is unknown in the U.S., seems popular in the U.K. Many of his music videos are accompanied by interesting animations. I performed “Albert Camus” at the July 18th Gilroy and Bronco Billy open mics. Above is a separate recording. Kept the timing perfect. Choppy sound anyway. I should have let the chords ring out more in the bridge. Chart. Next up – I’m about due for some chucking practice.
