Hamish has explained how fascinated he was by St Pauls cathedral, and the fact that amazingly it was designed and fully built during Christopher Wrens lifetime. His masterpiece. So Hamish sets out trying to do his equivalent but in music. So to write an equivalent (song) masterpiece Hamish will need a ball point pen, to write down the lyrics. Then I gather he has just pulled random abstract content together. Its brilliant. My favourite however is "Elvis Lookalike Shadow" .
The main plot of the lyrics (after ball point pen) decribes an affluent young couple living well until his sudden death. His wife (the character) lives on, but it's not the life she wanted, not the life she signed up for. The difference in the line "Jim dear, It’s living... the dream" near the pool and "Jim dear, it's living..." after his death. Upset, both at lossing him and lossing the lavish life they had, she drives into a pool. He too (now dead) had all these goals their affluence would have provided: Gosh darn it, he just wanted his life to be similar to the well-known athlete, the beloved by many, envious life leading man who was the (insert song title). 😊
Just an amazing song,Hamish Hawk is such a massive talent and deservers to be massive.
Preach! Sometimes it doesn't seem fair.
Hamish Hawk are just about my favourite band right now. Some amazing songwriting and a broad range of musical styles. Excellent live too!

Just discovered this song and Hamish Hawk and it’s definitely the soundtrack to my month so far! Great reaction 😊
Thanks for the kind words and for watching.
Can't wait to see Hamish, he's the support for the Travis 2024.
Cool. Travis eh? Haven't thought about them in a hot minute.
I saw them both in Berlin 2 weeks ago. Was a lot of fun.
@@DaveMcIroy So cool.

Thanks for the background.
Hamish is pronounced Haymish as in hay that you feed horses :)
Thank you. I couldn't even find a Wiki page on him.
Great song of theirs is this whatever it is needs improvements
His first name is pronounced Hay-mish by the way
His parents should have spelled it Haymish ...so guys like me can figure it out.
Yeah! You got it now though! Great video@@wallbangerreactions
