Covid Island Discs

Day 328: Prettiest Eyes, The Beautiful South

This is the first song of The Beautiful South to appear in Covid Island Discs and what a lovely little song capturing the memories of a man looking back over the shared experiences of his long life with his lover. I particularly like the line: “Take a look at these crows feet, just look! Sitting on the prettiest eyes, sixty 25^th of Decembers, fifty-nine 4^th of Julys”.
