I keep a running mental list of Perfect Songs - songs that, no matter how many times you listen to them, you can't imagine anything better happening to them.
Songs like Constant Craving by KD Lang, Resplendent by Vigilantes Of Love, Toledo by The Blue Nile, Refuge Of The Roads by Joni Mitchell...
...and This Sweet Love by James Yuill. I met James last year when I was invited by MusicTank to give a talk at one of their events about indie music stuff, the state of play etc. and was then asked to have a conversation with James Yuill about the state of his career - the previous year he'd been given a load of advice by that bloke from Nettwerk in the States, (something to do with Millennials? I dunno).
Anyway, it would've been a slightly strange gig if he hadn't been so utterly amazing. His manager sent me his album the night before the talk, and I was immediately a fan, so it was a great position from which to talk about what he could do with his career - his music is just great, certainly no impediment to his present or future success, so we got to talk about how he could use social tech to talk to his audience without running up some crazy record company promo budget.
And this song is the Perfect Song on an album full of really great songs. Have a listen to the album, Turning Down Water For Air.
Enjoy
