Hi all

Be interested to hear what people think of this song?

My first impression was that it reminded me of The Blue Nile - a similar kind of wistful, melancholic feel. At first I thought it would have better suited a vocalist like Paul Buchanan too, but the vocal has grown on me.

What I really love is the lightly-trembling, monophonic, woody, Ondes-Martenot-like sound that runs through the track - you can really here it from 2:20 to 2:35 or 0:48 to 1:15. Beautiful. Really makes it for me.

It is a really beautiful song. The arrangement is extremely accurate and delicate, and Nicola Hitchcock's work on the vocals is lovely, and a pleasant surprise.
