Now usually I get this feeling when I turn to a song or an album that I've known for ages,the ever faithful stand by from a classic artist that you turn to in moments of need(mine is usually Nick Drake),pressing play on the CD player or on the pc and instantly you are transported to a good feeling,a mood changer be it raising you up or down from where you are at that point in time.
I was so pleasantly surprised to get that feeling with this CD-from the get go it took me into a real good mood.
The songs have a wonderful range of styles that are interlinked by the special voice of Frank Joshua.
'Rain' is a special heart shaped song that burns like a toasty warm fire,'Bluebell Wood' offers smart electronic noodlings to a real builder of a song.
'Kiss' is a gentle folk song in a a singer/songwriter mode which reminds me of Richard Hawley.
'Cry blue' is a pop song the likes of which haven't been as well delivered since Prefab Sprout were in their pomp.
'Mad about you' is a shimmering pop song with the lovely glow I am starting to expect from Frank Joshua.
The final track 'Kiss' see's Frank in a duet with an unknown(to me) female singer and this version adds a nice alternative take on the previous version.
All in all,this is a wonderfully warm and brilliantly delivered CD.
If you like artists like Prefab Sprout and Richard Hawley and the lesser know but not lesser talented Cleemann and Dan Whitehouse; you will love this.
It really took me by surprise and I really like surprises like this one.
Highly recommended:-)).

Kiss
Frank Joshua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eloquence and painful smile cajoling me to rest in bliss
You take from me serenity,
You rob me of my sanity
And I am but the weakest man
And kneel before your goddess hand
You hurt me and you're beautiful and but for this would I resist your kiss.
Disruption of a peaceful sky by satellites that trail you hair
Don't take from me my dignity
Don't twist the knife so tenderly
And I will leave my face I'll hide
Returned to you a proper pride
You hurt me and you're beautiful and but for this would I resist your kiss.
While I depart
To mend my heart
Within the eyes the tears remain
But deep inside they fall like snow
You hurt me and you're beautiful and but for this would I resist your kiss.
The lyrics in Frank Joshua's song "Kiss" depict a complex and painful relationship between two people. The singer is deeply attracted to the subject of the song, despite the fact that they have hurt him in some way. He acknowledges that she is both beautiful and eloquent, but also acknowledges that she has taken away his serenity and sanity. Despite this, he feels powerless to resist her allure and kneels at her feet. The singer also reflects on the ways in which he sees himself in the subject's "concept eyes," suggesting that perhaps the attraction is based largely on shared self-awareness. However, the song ends with a somber note, as the singer struggles to mend his broken heart while still yearning for the subject's kiss.
