Louise - It is a great song, and I especially love him commenting on the girl in question - I shouls imagine that he likes singing this live in England for that reason alone. A great first song.
London City - As most of you know, my favourite sone ... even if it makes me want to jump up on the stage and give him a hug ... I restrained myself!
Looking at You - The first time I heard this live was 2 years ago at Union Chapel, and I had walked up to the front to take some pictures ... and yes he did look at the camera, so this always makes me smile.
Moonshot - He again commented on his YouTube and on Sullivan, who he said had great talent, but hadn't learnt to write words yet!
Don't worry Son - He told us that once when driving back to see his son after a long week of shooting buffy he had fallen asleep and ended up in a field ... "Black dogs after midnight" was refering to that tiredness.
Birth of the Blues - Not one of my favourites, although I did enjoy hearing it this time ... maybe i will grow to love it as much as I do the rest of his sonsg!
Too Fast
All that She Wanted - One of those songs i like, for no other reason than I like it!
Katie - He said that the girl he fancied, who he thought was gay ... but he had later met the girls husband, who commented on the song! I love one line in it about her wearing long sleeves to cover tattoos ... I used to know a really weird guy who always wore a long sleeved shirt (even when he was meant to wear a uniform polo shirt) ... so it made me wonder if he was tattooed!
For what I need - When I first heard the song on the CD I was unsure about it - but hearing it live is another matter - he admits he loves singing "naughty" songs.
Poor Robyn
Goodbye - I think this was the first time i had heard this live.
Layabout - I heard this first soon after he had written it for Patricia, when they were both in Cardiff while he was filming Torchwood. A great song.
Civilized Man - A song that has slowly grown on me, especially aftre hearing him siong it live.
Angel
Dangerous - I loved this song the first time I heard it on the GotR CD, and still love it now.
~~~
Smile - One of the ones I find hard to listen to, although I like it. But someone pointed out to me, when I said that last year, that it's because I have never been in love ... now I get the song much better!
Vandals - His first song. he seems to change the words of the last verse each time i hear it to fit in with what everyone is doing nowadays!
Finer Than Gold - I love this song, but find it very sad.
