Our Overview.
Danny always wanted to do an classic 1970s style double album in the vein of ‘Manassas’. Well, now he has, aided and abetted as usual by his Champions of the World. He talked about ‘Swift Street’, the first song to be shared from Brilliant Light: “Swift Street is the house where my mother grew up. The song is about 3 different photographs – one of me and my brothers playing in a billy cart in the driveway, the second is of my grandfather aged 14 standing with his mother outside his childhood home in Aberdeen – he left for Australia after the Second World War. The third is of my folks in the garden of the house in Swift Street before they left to live in London. Each photograph takes a verse. I was nervous about my mum hearing it, but she loves it."
