When I was 18 I would've thought this music was boring and uninventive. The truth is I just didn't understand the true depth of music like this due to my immaturity. This is fantastic.
I love this guy. He reaches so deep into my soul. I have been playing his works again. I just go so deep into my feelings as I let him take me there. What a gift that voice is
It is off the 2001 album by Quiet City ( Nigel Thomas) 'Public Face, Private Face'. PB features on the two tracks on my account. Due North and 'Things we should say'. Hope that helps :-). both top tunes.
Voice of an Angel this bloke,Paul Buchanan you are a true legend,one of the biggest talents out there,never done a bad track,atmospheric,magical,deep and meaningful,just pure genius songwriting and singing. Please do another Tour with the boys....?
I remember hearing "Tinseltown In The Rain" when Walk Across The Rooftops was first released and thinking this is the new Frank Sinatra - his voice IS that Good. He could sing the back of a Weetabix box and make it sound amazing.
I can,t understand why i can,t get hold of this album honestly it,s superb and even the people on The Parade which is dedicated to the music of The Blue Nile can,t get it either,you,d think that this would be available to us lovers of PB and THE BLUE NILE maybe some day
Quiet City is not Paul's band, Paul only sings on 2 songs, the rest are instrumentals and other singers. I have the CD. bought it for this song. Good luck.
Please, people who has the copyrights to this, make a Paul Buchanan compilation soon with this and other rarities on it. It deserves all the publicity it can get. So wonderful it is. At least, make it available on iTunes or something. Shouldn't be that hard?
Mr Sherco12, why don't you give credit to Quiet City for the song? It's not a Paul Buchanan (solo) or a Blue Nile(song). He's the featured singer on this song. Performed by QUIET CITY. I find it unfair to the original artist.

Love Paul’s creative vision…….what a talent.

Absolutely fantastic music. Underrated . beautiful.

The band is "Quiet City" with Paul Buchanan just singing on this and another song. They are available on Bandcamp.
Still unreal, sometimes you can't except you are listening to perfection, but friend, listening to it again. I think we got there a long time ago.
Mr. Buchanan has got big soul and he generously let it out to make our souls better.
Fantastic! Reminds me of John Martyn in the seventies.

Spell bound love this . fantastic
What a fantastic piece of work.
Creo que soy la persona que más veces a escuchado esta Obra Maestra!
Magnificent. Fell in love on my first listen.
Hats off and much thanks to Mr. Buchanan for such brilliance (yet again, and as always).
I've been listening to this on and off for a couple of years now. It still sounds perfect.
Golly GOSH!! How does he do it?? What an emotive, vibrant and enchanting example of Mr Buchanans majestic talent. Truly astonishing
Beautiful tune born from an exceptional voice....perfect !
Ich muss weinen....so schön

Wow ! Where has this been hiding?

Wow
Having just discovered this track, I am now obsessed with finding the lyrics. Anyone?
This is stunning - one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy on CD?
+Hugh Taylor Its on an album by Quiet City but rare I believe
Quiet City is not Paul's band, Paul only sings on 2 songs, the rest are instrumentals and other singers. I have the CD. bought it for this song. Good luck.
The album it's on - Public Face, Private Face - is being reissued, along a new album from Quiet City! - quietcitymusic.com
Please, people who has the copyrights to this, make a Paul Buchanan compilation soon with this and other rarities on it. It deserves all the publicity it can get. So wonderful it is. At least, make it available on iTunes or something. Shouldn't be that hard?
Rendered speechless ...
PB ...
Is there anyone who does not love Paul Buchanan?
Mr Sherco12, why don't you give credit to Quiet City for the song? It's not a Paul Buchanan (solo) or a Blue Nile(song). He's the featured singer on this song. Performed by QUIET CITY. I find it unfair to the original artist.
Agree,,
Music is great but Buchanan makes the song.
Mr Sherco isn't online which is why he hasn't responded. Paul Buchanan is the magic which is why he is on it. The album itself is also quite good.
Without PB nobody would know this music-
For your information: Quiet City is a project of Nigel Thomas, who was member of The Blue Nile (as a drummer).
Sorry thats Blue Nile Fan ! - still in a bit of a mess!
thanks for posting this song.
So it's not just me...
Yes, it's not just you... 🙂
Mmm so....so so apply your own adjectives.....
xxx
Lyrics phoned in from Paul Buchanan's old diary - flags, and papercups and cities and yeah, yeah! Aye mate - heard it all before...
thank you thank you thank you MrSherco
