A Perfect Glass of Contentment

Dan McCarthy - Everything Loved (2005)

Tournaments - Lone Sailor (mp3): This is a new song from a subtle UK artist named Gethin Pearson, whose work I've featured here before under a different moniker. It's a beautiful solo ballad that starts out half-full of hope and notably half-empty of loneliness. The former gradually displaces the latter with increasing confidence as lyrics are poured carefully up a cold glass, reaching a full perfection right at the brim, right at the end of the track.
