I flew too high
Left fear on the ground
I touched the sky
And never came down
You were the light
I couldn’t resist
I asked for love
I asked amiss
I loved you as Icarus loved the sun
Too close too much
I loved you as Icarus loved the sun
Too close too much
Now look at the state of us
What have we done
We’re far too gone
I loved you as Icarus loved the sun
Too close too much
You shone so bright
You gave me hope
You knew that I
Couldn’t ignore
I gave love a try
Love tried me with fire
I flew too high
Such is desire
I flew too high
Please catch my fall
I flew too high
Please catch my fall
I flew too high
Please catch my fall
I flew too high
Please catch my fall

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
