...who listens to Paolo Nutini's track on his new album entitled 'Pencil Full of Lead' not to sway their hips, or tap their feet, or generally jiffle around (or all 3). It is the most uplifting song I've heard in a long time - it should have been released as THE summer song of 2009 - not too late, we're still awaiting summer aren't we?!
It's reminiscent of Baloo's song Bare Necessities from Jungle Book - but don't let that put you off! Honest.
But, I've tried to do a link to Pencil full of Lead Live on you-tube and just can't get it to work. Can someone help - I really want to praise this song & promote it to a wider audience. Please? xx
You're welcome sallabananas, I was on youtube anyway. Yep its a right good mix of different styles. Candy is a beautiful song and there's some good dancey ones too. I think he's reminiscent of Lonnie Donegan in some of the songs lol, Now he's a blast from the past but I can hear the influence.
It's brill isn't it? I have it on my car CD and just cannot resist tapping my fingers on the steering wheel and jigging up & down in my seat and flapping my legs from side to side. I get funny looks....
I just don't care. Carefree, that's me when I hear a good tune. ;-)
I am calling it a weekend now... going home to the sound of a pencil full of lead.
Got food in my belly, got a licence for my telly, aint nothing gonna bring me down.
