Musical Faith


I’ve never lost my faith in pop music. But if I had, the first verse of the Magnetic Fields’s “I Don’t Believe You” would have restored it.

I’ve never lost my faith in classical music. But if I had, the passacaglia from the new Colin Davis/LSO recording of Peter Grimes would have restored it.

Of course, whether I could be said to have ever had “faith” in music is another matter entirely.
