01. Something Like You

02. Green Velvet Jacket

03. Queen Mathilda (demo)

CD-EP taken from Michael Head & The Strands album "The Magical World of The Strands". Sympathetic strings graze "Something Like You" as it passes, never distracting the melody or dominating the mood. "I paint the sails/It's the job for me/I paint the whales/They'll come with me/And my queen looked at me/Yeah Matilda smiled at me/And then you?went away" It's a vivid image. Mick Head, the lost soul of classic pop, watching his moment drift away while he sits transfixed by the beauty in his work. It's a lyric (from "Queen Matilda") that captures the spirit of Head's music, slightly weary with the worries of the world but at ease with its own place in it.
