Teach Your Children Well

One of my all-time favorites by CSNY is their classic “Teach Your Children Well”. It’s just a brilliant song, from its dissonant undertones to its subtle urgency. And how applicable is it during this election season–indeed, education is a premium. But no preaching here.

Continuing with the teaching theme, I was listening to Damien Dempsey’s “Teachers” yesterday and was astounded by simple beauty of this song. It somehow had alluded me in my several previous listens to To Hell or Barbados. Like all his songs, “Teachers” melds traditional Irish melodies with Dempsey’s folk (and apparently, island) sensibilities.
