"Black Sun Black Moon" - Salem Al Fakir.

Yes, it was inevitable that Salem might start appearing in my chart at some point, so no. 20 is a very good place to start. The final track on "Astronaut", this is a very moving song with very personal lyrics; it was for me a significant point in Salem's development, where his lyrics and music found a new emotional depth which was maybe missing from his earlier (happier) material.

The song was performed live on the "Humorgalan" concert back in May 2008 (video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffv-B0Qxmq8) but significantly has never been performed live since then.
