How have I only found out about this a week ago?
Written by Jimmy Webb in 1968, it was first sang and made popular by country singer, Glen Campbell.
Came
to it by total accident, when one of Bombay Bicycle Club's band
members did a Q&A with fans on Instagram and got asked if he could
claim writing credits for a song, which one would have been. His answer:
Wichita Lineman.
Given
the humorous tone fo the Q&A session, for some reason I though he
was being sarcastic... but after checking it out I fell in total awe.
Has
some of the most elegant and beautiful musical arrangements I’ve
listened to in a while and really shines a light on your average Joe
blue collar worker by presenting the character’s emotional waves in a
soft, gentle and heartfelt way.
