New Good Song: "Simple Song #3," BBC Concert Orchestra, Sumi Jo & Terry Davies 1.10.16

Here's a new good song: "Simple Song #3" by BBC Concert Orchestra, Sumi Jo & Terry Davies, who play the instruments, sing and conduct respectively. This is from the film "Youth," starring Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel. The film is not one I particularly cared for, but it's nominated for two well-deserved Golden Globes, including Best Original Song for "Simple Song #3," composed by David Lang, as well as Best Supporting Actress for Jane Fonda. "Simple Song #3" is mentioned throughout the film, with very small bits played here and there, and this performance is presented at the end of the film as the credits begin to roll. This is a classical song, but broaden your horizons, won't you?
