Very haunting ..some idiots still deny the Holocaust!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:STYLE COUNCIL "shout to the top" and "the piccadilly trail" b/w "shout to the top(instrumental)" and "ghosts of dachau" 1984
another 12" single for today...
"shout to the top"...catchy song, but not up to Weller's standard for my liking now
"the piccadilly trail"...tinges of soul and jazz happening on this classy song
"instumental"...same as the "a" side only no vocals
"ghost of dachau"...sublime piece of writing IMO, up there with Weller's greatest recordings IMO
single made it to #9 here

if there is one link you click on to today, then "ghosts of dachau" is the one....
it was written after Paul Weller visited the Dachau museum in the late 1970s...Dachau was a Nazi concentration camp...this song is harrowing to say the least...
i visited Auschwich in 1984 and the song really does sum up those horrific place better than i ever could describe them, so i beg you to listen to the Ghosts Of Dachau.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
