TERRY HALL – Home – K7 – 4509-97269-4

As his activities so far suggest, Hall always had an eye for a musical kindred spirit. He had met Lightning Seeds’ head honcho Ian Broudie when the Liverpudlian produced the Colourfield, and this sublime 1992 Lightning Seeds hit was the first song that resulted from a songwriting partnership which became a lifelong friendship. Hall recorded his own version for his first solo album, 1994’s Home and it’s not hard to see why. From the delicately yearning verses to the triumphantly celebratory chorus (“When you’re near / It all makes sense”) it touches all the places a perfect pop song should.
