Possibly illustrating how out-of-touch I am with popular music, I heard this song for the first time over the weekend. Lovely. Poignant. Nostalgic. For the first time in years I was tempted to pull out my guitar and learn a song by playing along with it.
I think you need a few years under your belt to have written this song. Those of us who have those years (as Nick Lowe and I have) have been here.
Nat King Cole. But he’d have a full orchestra behind.
That’s the era and voice that this song brings to me.
Yes, I thought Nat Cole, too.
