Liner notes

What's a song that feels larger than life to you?

This isn't so much a song that sounds larger than life—though it arguably does—but one where a live version outshines the studio recording. For whatever reason, the studio process didn't capture it, and something essential about the artist or song gets lost. So for me, the version of Timeless Melody recorded for the BBC session hosted by Nicky Campbell will always be the definitive one.
