This is easily the best track on the album.

This is better for settling down into a more comfy, relaxed shape and a tasteful melody.

Lyrical hints of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Big strings.

Like a more soulful Linda Thompson.

Not as technically good a singer though.

Getting a bit epic.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:35 pm

Horns.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:35 pm

Also reminds me of Pilot's Sky Blue.

There's something of the Parson's Green about this.

Something Fulham-y.

I wonder if that back cover picture was taken at Sands End? hmm

It is over.

I felt that was a capable singer and a capable keyboardist armed with a bunch of songs that weren't capable.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars.

I'm telling you, I'm telling you - if I'm right about this then I truly am the Master of the Universe where recognising bits of London from near-non-existent images and/or information.

This time it was cos I saw the back cover picture, then forgot about it, and then thought the music sounded weirdly comfy SW London folk-lite.

It's not Liverpool Street, it didn't have the knobby bits on the top of the wall.

But why would anyone want to sit in a gutter in Salford and have their picture taken? hmm

It's 43 years old, you ninny.

All that's been removed, the glass stuck in cement, barbed wire and pediments have been long since removed.

The brick has also been cleaned and repointed. oh no

It's like we never were members of that forum... er...

What was it called again? dunno

by Nightjar Sat Feb 27, 2021 7:51 pm

Anyway, I was thinking it was around here.
