Nineties Revisited: 4


 Original video located here. Accessed 28th February 2022


Song title: 4

Artist: The Cruel Sea

Year: 1991

Why I like this song:

This song plays to two of the strengths of the Cruel Sea: a) they can crack out a great instrumental and b) they are very much a laid-back band.

This is indeed a song that I will forever associate with Australian summer. Near where I live there is a big river that leads out into the sea. On one side are some housing and on the other is a barbecue area and some bushland. And for me, this song speaks of chilling in said area on a sunny evening. 

And if a song can take you to a time and place then it has done it's job well.
