Bernard Butler - Not Alone

Taken from the ex-Suede guitarist’s first solo album in 1998, I’ve always loved this song. I remember buying the CD single at the awesome Record Collector in Sheffield during my first year at university, the day after I heard it played on the radio.

It’s definitely a late 90s, British, ‘indie’ song and it maybe sounds a little bit dated now, but whenever I hear it I always crank the volume up. I think it’s one of the most uplifting songs I know and it seems to sound best on a summer night, when the sky is just starting to get dark.
