That’s the actual title of The Clientele’s 2007 album. I agree with the sentiment. This album pretty much took over my internal soundtrack last week. When I listen to it, I hear certain overused adjectives like “exquisite” and “achingly beautiful.” Some of the songs make use of a harp-like guitar, while others add well-placed orchestral strings. Over the top of each delicate song are the hushed vocals of Alasdair MacLain. He sings it like he means it. Lovely imagery throughout.
