Brilliant. Maudlin, moving and full of beautiful yearning.

Thanks Greg, I appreciate it...and I'll keep an eye out for that lost album...because EVERY Del Amitri album is worth owning!

Yes, that is them. My understanding is that it's off their lost second album, when they still had this sort of sound. It was a very young Justin singing, and Iain Harvie was with them, but the other two members had changed by the Waking Hours album.

Only Del Amitri album worth owning.

Years ago I napsterized a song called "Out in the Wind" which said it was performed by Del Amitri. Does anyone know this, because I cant find it on any Del CDs, and this sounds more like "Out in the Wind" than any other Del Amitri song. Was it even Justin singing this or was it another band member?

@04090080 awesome, awesome final verse!

4. Like a ticket inspector running for a bus Irony’s revenge surrounds us. And it’s ironic that he promised you he’d never let you go When he’s left you used-up and disturbed And I said "just as the early bird catches the wormThe early cat catches the bird" But that former owner is keeping his word

3. There’s no calling "come here, you’re necessary to me." There’s no excitement in her face when I implore "corrupt me and confess to me some more." And when we hear trees falling or see people disappearing Her emotions won’t be reached or released, Because the former owner is keeping the keys

2. There’s no bubbles to burst No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst She’s utterly tied to somebody else And it seems he got there first. And no, I’m not untying The reins around her neck that she feels And I won’t try to prise out of her the truth anymore When she lies about the things that she sees Because the former owner always keeps the keys.

1. So who was first? Obviously not me. She’s locked up inside herself And I can’t get anything free So won’t somebody tell me please Why the former owner always keeps the keys?

@rebjiii from what I've heard I would say there's definitely a similarity...and that's a good thing!

@RonG40 ....yep - a very under rated album - too bad it wasnt a success for them...do u think mumford and sons sounds like del amitri ?

Beautiful and poignant album. The rest never approached it. So glad to finally see it here.

I liked some of their later stuff but this album was sublime genius in my opinion .

@RonG40 you're absolutely right! this acoustic LP is a masterpiece

FINALLY! The Dels are so under rated. And in their already under rated body of work this album gets over looked. That's a crime. This is pure gold. There are some naive bits lyrically, sure, but that is part of it's charm. Thank you for posting this. Post more and I will spread the word!
