Here are some songs that inspired Somewhere Only We Know. Some of them - like Slide Away, Northern Sky and Autumn Almanac - were just ‘in the air’ at the time and I feel influenced the strong sense of place or the emotional energy of the song. Some (Heroes, Is This It?, Let Down) had a driving momentum we definitely aspired to - we always felt we needed ‘one more rocker’ in our set when we were playing in the pubs of London. Others are songs I can hear musical references to in the melody and the production - I’ll leave you to work out which bits!
