Different Every Time (I)
«Sane songs for insane times», singt Robert Wyatt. So heisst es im Vorwort seiner Biografie «Different Every Time», deren Lektüre eben angebrochen ist und die hier – anstelle eines Textmarkers – ein paar Spuren hinterlassen soll. Zum Beginn: sein erster und beinahe einziger Song als Sänger der Wilde Flowers.
«Wyatt's first significant vocal on record is 'Memories' (...). His singing is resolute and resilient as well as frail and fragile. Already, at the age of twenty-one, Wyatt's voice was a curious combination of choirboy and old man, simultaneously world-weary and innocent as grass.»
