Lloyd Bishop shares his article for the Oxford Student, in which he reflects on the capacity for music to offer solace and companionship.
You can find Lloyd’s original article in the Oxford Student.
Commenting further, Lloyd says:
I wanted to reflect, not only on what I like about Graceland by Paul Simon (my favourite album by my favourite musician), but also on the way certain music can become part of the furniture of your life. Once you have carried a treasured album or song with you for many years, it gains its own unique identity for you; imbued with the experience of your own life, it becomes to you more than what, in fact, it is.
