Rare Bird

Rare Bird offers “Sympathy” as a ballad of hope for the people of our world, either triumphing or suffering over global discrepancies and of course, the human condition. “Now half the world, hates the other half, and half the world has all the food, and the other half, lies down and quietly starves, ‘cause there’s not enough love to go ‘round.” Steve Gould sings the sincere lyrics of “Sympathy” with his powerful, soulful voice along with the deep, heavy hitting rhythm of his bass guitar, David Kaffinetti’s electric piano, Mark Ashton’s drums and Graham Stansfield’s smooth, flowing organ.
