LAUNCH, Music on Yahoo! - Badly Drawn Boy - One Plus One Equals One

Love, the epitaph. Love the epitaph. Epitaph would be a good word to pull out in scrabble.

LAUNCH, Music on Yahoo! - Badly Drawn Boy - One Plus One Equals One: "The record is dedicated to the memory of four people, and it's in this context it seems best understood. Joe Strummer and Elliott Smith are useful touchstones, songwriters skilled at picking up and burnishing hitherto insignificant detail, while Gough's grandfather, Will, and his friend Matthew Lanyon seem to have provided the ineptly sketched one with the thoughts and moods that suffuse this gently persuasive LP. It is the inscription on Will's grave stone that provides penultimate track 'Takes The Glory' with the album's defining sentiment ? 'To live in the hearts of those that you loved is not to die' ? while a photograph of Lanyon as a child, given to Gough in lieu of a birthday card, seems to underlie the album's mood of heart-felt introspection."
