Hales has the ability to capture emotions we only thought we could feel. He writes the kind of songs that (you may believe) are written just for you, and this is a wonderful gift.

Although his previous singles have had a slower more darker languid resonance to them, this is a brighter perhaps even more joyful account.

[CD2] also has his wonderful 'strange and beautiful', which is the song that hooked me, and many others. Orginally the soundtrack to a car advert, this song has propelled Hales' magnificant talent to the forefront of all our minds, as someone who can truely speak to our souls.

Yes, I am being over the top, but I haven't the art to say what I mean in the poetic way Hales can. If not for 'Brighter than Sunshine' I'd buy this single for 'strange and beautiful' as if you haven't already this is one song you need to hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brighter Than Sunshine, 4 Oct 2003

By A Customer

What a feeling to listen to this! After a previous Gold Album Aqualung are back and Brighter Than Sunshine is the debut release from the new album Still Life. It is beautiful and heart warming and makes me smile just to hear it. NME and Chris Moyles have both had lovely things to say about this stunning song and its easy to understand why. Easy to sing along to and easy to relate to this song will make you wish you could write half as beautifully as he does. More chirpy than previous work but no complaints here just a brighter than sunshine smile on my contended face!
