Great song, and I agree with the previous posters that the the octave double-track vocals, the vocal tone and melody (especially in the verses) sound just like Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze.

Another great RP song I never heard before that I have to add to my playlist.  Nice job RP.

Feeling it again? 2yrs later. I'm still feeling it from the White Bird.

Totally thought that this was something new from Squeeze that I'd never heard before. Good though. Really liked it!

Yea, that's right (and Charleston is actually my hometown too), but it seems like they spent more time in Columbia than anywhere else.

The second JLC track I've heard here that I like. The other one is Between the Dim and the Dark.

If you haven't listened to it, Jay (lead singer) came out with a solo CD a couple of years ago that's very reminiscent of Jump's later stuff. Here's a link to a site where you can preview the songs and purchase either the mp3's or the CD - http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jayclifford .

OIngo Boingo meets Squeeze....cool!  I picked this up and haven't listened to it much, think I'll spin it again soon...{#Tongue}

Great album overall. This is the band that SC should be known for, instead of Hootie.

At first glance, I thought the band's name was "Jump Little Chicken".  Got some interesting google responses when I searched for it!

Yeah, I thought it was Squeeze, but then then hear their own sound...that's what I love about music, the morphing...

Difford and Tillbrook had some unispired days, but this is better than that. Maybe not equal to classic Squeeze but certainly comparable to their later work...say anything after Play.
 

I'd have to agree. That higher voice, with the lower, gravelly voice behind it is so very Squeezy.

Whatever...I guess that there's no accounting for taste...go back to your Justin Timberlake CD.

Huh. I thought it was "busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger."

Whats a cockle?


A type of small shellfish which lives on intertidal beaches and rocks. Used to be very popular in British pubs when you'd get a seafood man coming around selling cockles, whelks and whatnot, all swimming in vinegar. Can't bear the things myself, but I'm told they're quite a delicacy. Quite what they have to do with hearts I've no idea at all.

Is it me, or does this guy's voice seem a consistent, grating semitone flat?

From http://www.answers.com/topic/warm-the-cockles-of-one-s-heart

warm the cockles of one's heart

Gratify one, make one feel good, as in It warms the cockles of my heart to see them getting along so well. This expression uses a corruption of the Latin name for the heart's ventricles, cochleae cordis.

This interpretation is corroborated by
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-coc2.htm


As the for the Woody quiz: the film is "Love or Death" . See the memorable quotes at IMDB.com:
