Randy Newman - Sail Away album cover | |||||||||||||||
Sail Away is a 1972 album by Randy Newman. In 2003, the album was ranked number 321 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The album stands as a prime example of Newman's ability with musical satire. The title track takes the form of a pitch from a slave trader in Africa. "Political Science" foresees America making the world a better place through the nuclear annihilation of almost everyone else. "God's Song" uses gospel forms to question the idea of a benevolent creator. "He Gives Us All His Love" is a bittersweet and sparsely-arranged hymn about religious faith which may be earnest or tongue-in-cheek. Track listing: 1. "Sail Away" 2. "Lonely at the Top" 3. "He Gives Us All His Love" 4. "Last Night I Had a Dream" 5. "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" 6. "Old Man" 7. "Political Science" 8. "Burn On" 9. "Memo to My Son" 10. "Dayton, Ohio 1903" 11. "You Can Leave Your Hat On" 12. "God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)" 13. "All thats good songs about war" | |||||||||||||||
