Written in Salzburg, Austria in May 2011. This 'studio version' features piano recorded in Milan and ukulele and maracas recorded in Nice, with vocals and melodica added this year while in Budapest.
Mountain talk to me please - Trees stand so tall with their leaves - I could be anywhere but I'm here
I will go anywhere that you take me to...

Balcarres Street in Edinburgh is where we rented our first apartment and lived for 3 years, between 2004 and 2007. The "One Way Ticket" album was produced there and many profound changes in our life took place during that period.

Strangely, this song came in Berlin in February 2012 and was further developed in Budapest in June this year. We have only just finished the 1st version this week and so what you hear is our first attempt of the song in full, recorded in one pass into one microphone so it is essentially a 'live acoustic take'.

From the album "One Way Ticket" (2006).  Available from:

This song was written around about the year 2000 and featured on the David William album "One Way Ticket" in 2006. It describes the way you can feel alone and unsettled inside when all on the outside suggests otherwise - ie. feeling melancholy on a summer's day.

For a number of months when we first came to Europe we kept encountering the name Suzanne (or variations of it) in various places. The owner of the very first apartment we stayed in Barcelona was called Susana. Arriving in Paris after that, taking our luggage off the airport bus, we looked up and a bus drove by right in front of us with 'Suzanne' emblazoned on it.

Written at the end of 2007 in Edinburgh and then put aside, this song resurfaced again in 2011 as part of the canon of songs SoulJahm have been working on throughout their travels in Europe.

It deals with how being a natural human being in this world seems to elude us and how we live in a system and structure that makes it almost impossible for us to be our natural self.
