New Music: The Last Time I Saw The Old Man

           

Is the second track taken from our forthcoming album ‘Rainy Sunday Afternoon’ is the poignant and beautiful "The Last Time I Saw the Old Man".  "It's hard to talk about this song too much,"  Neil Hannon says. “My kind and intelligent father had Alzheimer’s for the last decade of his life. A cruel and all too usual punishment these days. The lyrics are a simple and unadorned observation of his final year. No profound statements. No poetry. The music does all the emotional heavy lifting. I suppose sometimes you just have to meet painful events head on. In order to accept them and move on." Rainy Sunday Afternoon is due on the 19th September.
