In a world gone mad, where TVs are turned off dejectedly, heads bowed and hearts broken, it is good to take comfort in simple things. A sunny day, a friend’s phone call, a song you love. Or, in the case of Christy Moore’s new album, A Terrible Beauty, a master craftsman at work.
Regardless of what is going on in your life, or how world news is wrecking your head, I urge you to go and listen to it now. The album is 34 minutes and 29 seconds of unalloyed joy. It will lift you out of yourself, engage you, soothe you. You won’t regret it.
