Black - I Just Grew Tired

It seems like they're dropping like flies - I've often wondered if Colin Vearncombe performing under the moniker Black ever got tired of singing Wonderful Life ... Much like James Blunt forever blighted by his best seller You're Beautiful.
Its a beautiful song full of plangent hope and european irony and far outshone anything else this apparently charming and amiable man ever did. I'm sure some would beg to differ.
I have a special copy of Black's album which comes with an extra ep of unreleased tracks. Although it very rarely gets played, Wonderful Life is a sneaky earworm that every now and then sticks out its clammy head to nibble at your Thalamus. Alcohol consumption is not recommended.
Here's to you Colin. RIP.

Beautiful song, beautifully sung, from the man with the velvet voice .
Enough said !!!

Paul signed my vinyl sleeve with the line,
“Have a wonderful life of your own.” If only. As for Paul with his honeyed voice, still being on this earth?
....If only.

The jingly arpeggio, the beautiful choir (and keyboard?) just before the chorus, but mostly what I get from this song is someone who's tried so hard at love and life but got to the point of not caring. Just a theory. RIP Dave.
