Many thanks to Emma Sparre-Newman for her astounding hospitality, Aner Rabinovitz for listening to various versions over the years, Ben Wren for much needed arrangement suggestions, Elliot Mason for listening to roughs and essential feedback, Amos Giles, Avi Gitler, William Nein and Roi Erez for listening and encouragement, and everyone who came to the debut gig without even knowing what the hell we were about to do (was I dreaming, or did that actually happen?).
Special thanks as always to Anna Thomson for everything, and to Maggie and Bernard for all the crucial and valuable help, and for just being lovely.
And big, BIG thanks as well to all the musicians who were willing to give their time despite the difficult circumstances...
lyrics
Something’s in the air
Something in my life
Something’s in the air
Silent as a rose
Tells me that it’s time to speak out
To all my friends and foes
And every single day
Make the same mistakes
Wonder if the day will arrive
When life can really begin
Please let it begin
Something’s in the air
Something in my life
I would speak to you
Softly in your womb
Maybe you should stay for a while
In that pink old room
And all the days keep passing by
Sailing on and on
(I) keep smiling
And wondering where they’ve gone
Everybody knows
Exactly who I am
Pin me down without any care
And file me neatly away
Oh yeah you think that with a glance
You know just where I stand
You see me
And everything I am
But you have barely seen a glimpse
For in a single given day
I am a sinner and a saint
Something’s in the air
Something in my life
And all the days keep passing by
Sailing on and on
You know me
And everything about me
All the good times and the bad
You know my history my story,
Yeah I’m a no good rotten saint
