I have happily listened to Paul Buchanan for over 30-years. Seems like I introduce his music to others more often, and they have never heard of him. Love HATS and WALKING ON ROOFTOPs EPs. Missed a live concert several years ago in Atlanta to see him, sadly.
I've always interpreted Toledo as a rehab facility and the song is talking about "getting sober and clean" and the people in the rehab, with the singer being one of them. Just my off the wall interpretation.

The best voice that's ever come out of Scotland.
(Happy to say I shook the man's hand 2 years ago and got to thank him)
A poet I turn to again and again and again. Thank you Paul. Thank you Scotland
Such an amazing song with beautiful music and lyrics that touch those of us who have been there!

I found PB a dozen years ago and still listen faithfully to it all. I've educated folks about him as well. Music for the sole.
I love this man
I cry almost every time I listen to this. It's brave pathos as bedrock.
never too late to find such priceless music.. thanks.
ps love KEXP, KCRW ...
Love this. Thanks for posting !
sublime, subtle, superb. thanks Mr Sh
Such a top tune Glad you enjoyed it
It's on the 'High' album by The Blue Nile, but this version is just sublime.
Only on a few 'shady bootlegs'. If you go onto KCRW's site there is a video of the session available to watch.
regards,
mr sh
has this ever released?
Just fantastic.People are mad about Jeff Buckley and Joni Mitchel and Leonard Cohen.. in his way, this guy is just as good if not better..
Anyone thought about the meaning? Is Toledo a woman?
there is a place in Ohio and place in Spain, but I still don't get it , I wish I knew as well , I think it's a woman

God, this is great! Paul Buchanan has very sparingly put out masterpieces for decades!
