‘Waiting for Touchdown’ by Sneaky Feelings

From Nights, 7:38 pm on 28 September 2017

We are probably ready for an afternoon coffee by now, just to keep the energy up for the tour. So let's go to The Govenor's Café. Dave Pine, one of the lead writers and singers for Sneaky Feelings, used to work here while he was studying law at University. He wrote some really terrific songs for the group's first album, 'Send You'. He was in that ideal state for a songwriter, his relationship had gone south, broken up (judging from these songs). This song is not one of the overtly acerbic ones. I like this song for its lyricism and apparent languor. (Part of Bryan Crump and Richard Langston's Dunedin: A Magical Musical Tour)
