Songs By County: Cornwall

[Furtho]

No doubt we've done something akin to this before, but songs which either are named after or mention in the lyrics places in the given county -- here, Cornwall.

Another Sunny Day's I Don't Suppose I'll Get A Second Chance rhymes the title with "I guess I'll move back to Penzance".

The Wild Swans' Falling To Bits refers to "the Zennor coves" (and indeed loads of other places in loads of other counties).

The Hit Parade have a whole album entitled Cornish Pop Songs, with track titles making mention of Penzance, Newlyn, Drift, Zennor, Lands End, Treen, St Ives & Mousehole.

Any more?

Gwenno's Le Kov drawing much admiration from RTE's John Kelly, and while Welsh OTFers will be better placed to appraise it, the music at least has definite echoes of Sigur Rös.
