Buffy Sainte-Marie has perfected her own version of the 3 minute pop song, often dripping with imagery on top of a simple and memorable melody. One of my favourites is 'Still This Love Goes On' from 'Running For The Drum'. It packs in the seasons in Canada with animal tracks in the snow and summer running up and down the mountainsides. She sings about powwow singing, the drum and the Jingle Dancers, painted ponies and sweet grass burning.
I love this song and it's not just one of my favourites from 'Running For The Drum', it's one of my favourite all-time Buffy songs. It's simple and complex at the same time, and here's a lovely video of Buffy singing it live earlier this summer. Enjoy!
