The album demonstrates Nick’s love for melody and vintage vibes; Each track stands out and the record contains a various medley of influences including blues, rock n roll, psychedelia and even a spot of classic motown. The lead single from the album, ‘Stanley Arms Brigade’ is a Jagger-swaggering, 60’s throwback, perfect pop song, with an ultimate kaleidoscopic, lysergic-filled video that compliments the music perfectly.

In My Shoes
Nick Capaldi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my shoes there ain't nobody in there
To tell me no lies wearing a fake disguise
My room is music and dreaming
Step into my world if you're my size
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
clone in a land of my worries
I searched for someone to set the feelings free
I try and I'll tell you a joke
But the only one finding it funny is me
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
I was lost like a fish out of water
I followed a seagull where she flew
Hand in hand go dreaming and home
cnd this is the place where they're gonna come true
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
In my shoes there's some time
I think of what I'd like to be
It doesn't seem silly to me
