Nick Saunders - 'Resonance'
I first came across Nick Saunders on the 'Great Liverpool Acoustic Experiment' compilation album, from which this track is taken. Information is scarce on him; he now lives in Devon having moved down from Liverpool, and in 2006 released the album 'Resonance', which featured an updated and, dare I say it, slightly more clinical, over-produced version of the song. Overall though, the album is enjoyable, especially the track 'Descending' and well worth a purchase.
The influence of Nick Drake, notably in the guitar work, runs through much of Saunders' work and this particular choice is no exception. The beautiful understated orchestration and warm vocals are the perfect antidote to the stress of watching Everton's walking wounded briefly contemplate beating the never less than irritating Aston Villa...
