For those who bought it: yes you’re right, this song was also on my 2005 ‘An Informal Trade-off’ mini-album. Only I like this one here slightly better and this one here is a slightly updated version: some added harmony vocals and a somewhat different mix. The ‘seagulls over the cliff’ that were already present on the albumtrack are still here; I feel they stress the song’s atmosphere of melancholy and unattainability. And besides, by adding a choir of seagulls I turned this otherwise solo-thing into a band effort: Andrew & the Seagulls.
This was the sweetest lovesong on the album and it’s a great favourite of mine….. The thrillingly devastating insecurity of being in love….
And if you’d like to sing-along or just read the lyrics, go here.
