Andrea Von Kampen - Hearts And Bones (Paul Simon) | The Influences

Andrea von Kampen plays a cover of 'Hearts And Bones' by Paul Simon for The Influences. Andrea von Kampen’s music felt like a secret discovery, a while ago, when I first heard her work. Like she’s singing and playing just for you. And although plenty modern in both lyrics and style, she could have been a singer from decades ago – in the way she crafts her songs. Early December 2024, I got to experience her really singing for (almost) just me, when we recorded this session. Luckily for you, I remember to press record. For The Influences, she played covers of Paul Simon’s Hearts And Bones and Bob Dylan’s Boots Of Spanish Leather and the title track of her latest album Sister Moon. When it came to selecting songs for The Influences session, Andrea von Kampen saw it as an opportunity to push herself musically. “Hearts And Bones is one of my favorite songs of all time,” she says. “I wanted to challenge myself to start learning songs that are pretty tough to play. When I started working through the tabs, I was thinking, ‘I will never be able to play this.’” Rather than backing down, she set a goal to master it in time for the session. “I worked on it for months. I love the way the guitar work melds so well with the melody. And ahh, those lyrics… just so beautiful.” Filmed at Loudmouth in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Filmed by Matthijs van der Ven.
