Another wonderful nugget of lonely contemplation from the chillaxed Britpop kahuna, Paul Lappin, formerly of Swindon now residing in the South of France. Unfortunately You makes for our song of the week, and you’ll be drawn into its five minutes of drifting prose and beautiful composition, of that I’m certain.
A man of many talents. I love the personal touch of designing your own cover too, in which Paul’s watercolour and pen work has nearly equalled his artistic skill in music. And it goes so well to accommodate the mood of the tune, which is melancholic bliss.
