Hello to all from the sunny beach!! I'm going to preach my Top 5 Beach Listens:
1. Anything by Florence + The Machine. Flo, as you may have noticed, is quite taken with water. Especially in her second album, 'Ceremonials', where you can hear 'What The Water Gave Me' and 'Never Let Me Go', where she tries to recreate a feeling she had when she was little that she could breathe underwater. Also listen to 'Swimming', which is not in the album.
2. 'Alas I Cannot Swim' - Laura Marling's first album, as produced by her ex, Charlie Fink. Perhaps not the best title for you less confident swimmers, but with tracks such as 'Alas I Cannot Swim', 'Crawled Out Of The Sea', 'Tap At My Window', which starts with rain, and 'The Captain And The Hourglass', it's one of the main things I've been listening to.
3. 'Seaside' - The Kooks. Self-explanatory. See previous post for more details.
4. Noah & The Whale's second album, 'The First Days Of Spring'. I know you're thinking I've got the wrong timezone, but Charlie Fink's breakup album for Laura Marling, the girl whose first album he actually produced, is very water based, with water running acting as a continuer for all the tracks. To see the film for the whole album, click here.
5. Cliff Richards' 'We're All Going On A, Summer Holiday...!!!!!' (so maybe that is not the official title but I call it that - with 5 '!!!!!') Just listen to it.
