First track (You’re Not Alone) from solo album due in May
First impressions:
There’s a touch of the Steve Harley about the voice
The “der der der der” middle bit is vaguely recognisable from somewhere, but I’m bu**ered if I can place it.
Interest has been piqued enough to take a punt on the album when released, especially now I have heard the first single (see below)
Rigid Digit says
Do You Believe In Love
Baron Harkonnen says
I shall investigate further.
Zanti Misfit says
When Cathal very infrequently took lead singing duties in Madness I thought he really shone, Michael Caine being the obvious example. Glad he’s finally spread his wings.
Zanti Misfit says
This sounds like a lost The The track
badartdog says
I liked that – thanks for sharing.
Jim Cain says
Cathal Smyth.
Big mate of Mozzer’s and the subject of the song ‘You’re The One For Me, Fatty’. Not a lot of people know that.
madfox says
Mm, that was quite mesmerising. I particularly liked the video moment when the eyes appear to well up a little. A simple but affecting song.
madfox says
I think I’ve cracked your puzzle about the middle bit of the song – I reckon it sounds like the lead-in to the “You’re going to reap just what you sow” section of “Walk On The Wild Side”.
Rigid Digit says
Bu**er me with a fish fork!
That’s the one, just without the resolution at the end
Cheers madfox
madfox says
Afraid I don’t have a fish fork. I could knock you down with a spatula, though.
madfox says
…and I just realised I got the wrong Lou song. “You’re going to reap…” is, of course, from “Perfect Day”.
Baron Harkonnen says
Tiggerlion highjacks this thread in 6-7 weeks ; ))
Tiggerlion says
I did a Nights In one week after official release. I think that’s a legitimate thing to do.
Baron Harkonnen says
Tiggs, I was yanking your tail hence the ; )), I liked your nights in review it was as good as I could have, no I mean better.
If we take away humour where would we be? ; ))
Bingo Little says
Germany.
Baron Harkonnen says
Germany`s underrated as far as humour is concened, go and ask Dieter Nuhr.
Gary says
Slough.
Tiggerlion says
My house. 🙁
Baron Harkonnen says
Surely not Tiggs, was not a Madness ditty named after your Mansion On The Hill.
