2) Prodigal Son are a progressive metal quintet from Scotland, UK. Formed in 2005 they built their sound around each members musical aspiration. All though all five were mainly into metal, their preference in sub-genres created a vast array of sounds to experiment with. As a result, their sound is an amalgam of most sub-genres of modern metal. They draw from Prog, Groove, Death, Grindcore,and occasionally Gothenburg, Industrial & Power metal. However, utilising more than one at most times, they manage to avoid clichés of these sub-genres and create a sound that is epic but not cheesy, aggressive without sounding stupid and maintains a certain Groove.
Their songs are mostly progressive with a few exceptions. The songs are not necessarily long and drawn out; they are able to take the complexity of a progressive song and compact it into spaces as small as three minutes. Their songs were originally played only in dropped C tuning but in 2006 they introduced the Seven-String to their sound which allowed for more expression and a lynching tone. They have more dominant bass parts than a lot of metal acts around today and the drums bring a bit more in terms of creativity. In short, Prodigal son are filtering out the mundane whilst keeping that which truly rocks.

"The Obvious Child"
I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
And in remembering a road sign
I am remembering a girl when I was young
And we said These songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are free
And hey
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark
We had a lot of fun
We had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier
Day by day by day by day
I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school
Is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
Well I'm accustomed to a smoother ride
Maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say the cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child?

Paul Simon has always been one of my favorites.
Interesting that the first Simon and Garfunkel album I ever bought, I purchased when I lived in Brazil in the late 1960s. The title in Portuguese was "Os Grandes Sucessos de (The Great Hits of) SImon & Garfunkel" and I still have it. I think in the U.S. the album was called "Bookends" and features a black and white photo of the duo, both wearing black turtlenecks
Some info about the location:
The church at the top of the steps looks very white in this video, but when I took photos there in August 2011, the building was covered in mold and trees were growing from the steeples. A friend who lives in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) told me there are funds to restore many of the old churches in the city, but sadly it disappears into politicians' pockets. This video was posted in June 2011, but the song appeared on his 1991 album "The Rhythm of the Saints" so I am guessing the video was made around the same time. Therefore the church had another 20 years to deteriorate before I took photos in 2011.
On the Michael Jackson video of "They Don't Care About Us" (Brazil Version), at 3:42-3:55 you can catch a glimpse of the same church's steeples in the upper right. Some of Jackson's video was filmed in the same Pelourinho section of Salvador and some in the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro.
Note that at the beginning and end of SImon's Video, two men are performing capoeira, which used to be a a form of fighting developed by slaves, but has evolved into a dance-like performance sport in which blows never land. Usually a Brazilian instrument called the birambau is used during the performance.
I served in the Peace Corps in Brazil (1967-69) and grew to love the country, the culture and and especially the warm, welcoming Brazilians. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about my life there.

Paul Simon spend two and a half weeks in Johannesburg, South Africa writing music for "Graceland." For those sessions, Simon paid the musicians $196.41 an hour, triple scale wages by American pay rates. And to those musicians who provided key instrumental licks and melodic fragments that were later incorporated into tunes, he also offered writers' royalties. What an awesome human being. He obviously respected the musicians he worked with.
@c-dublife
To bad he was ridiculed and harrassed by the black community when he returned to the states. They believed he stole this sound from the African people and took advantage of them. When truly it was the complete opposite.
@mcfcguvnors
But what an album that was worth every cent
@killiansmith2783
Beautiful individual he is❤
@mcburnski
@@c-dublife to be fair, it's absolutely nothing to do with the American Black community.
@averyellis
There was a boycott on SA because of apartheid. Simon respond to the boycott by saying “it’s not the musicians fault” and despite criticism, went there and listened to them and gave them gigs.
@guiruffini
I was there, in August of 1991 with 7 years old. I played this music with my friends for the next months. I moved from Salvador to Porto Alegre in 1992 and I never returned. I forgot this music since them. Now I just listened, and its in my soul. Gave me a lot of hidden memories. Thank you
