Had just moved to London when this came out and the album became the soundtrack to my first year there. Extremely fond memories of it. "Excuse Me" is a song about falling for a girl on the Underground which all seemed so exciting to me as a young man in the big city.
@ken1 nice story :) thanks for sharing it. my moving to london album was jenny wilson (love and youth), jens lekman (oh you're so silent jens) and lost of piano magic. the emotional memory for these albums is incredibly strong as everything was changing. so nice to be able to travel back like that ;)
