Title: Come Sing Me A Song

Artist: Sing-Sing

Album: Sing-Sing and I

This dreamy, lyrical piece from the second album of Sing-Sing, an enigmatic UK group is enjoyably addictive. It introduces itself with a swinging guitar strum beat, which replaces the traditional drum percussion, occasionally bringing in strained violins, hollow drums and basses.

The lyrics on the surface would seem to be that of a love song, but is actually about celebrity worship – which I would not have figured out if not for reading the band website. But even the knowledge of this does not lessen the dreamy romanticism of the song.

Other recommendations: Lover, from Sing-Sing and I. This track is available for free (and legal) download on the band website, so do check it out.
