A wonderful forgotten treasure for the third choice of
our anthology...
Song:
Leeds Station
Artist:
The Parachute Men
Year:
1989
The Parachute Men was a wonderful British band with a pretty short history. They formed in 1985, released two albums, "
The Innocents" and "
Earth, Dogs, and Eggshells" (both highly recommended), and several singles, including this outstanding "
Leeds Station", before splitting in 1990. You know when, in very rare, extraordinary occasions, since the very first second you are sure you will fall in love with a song? That was my case with "Leeds Station". Haunting melody, shimmering guitars and soulful vocals...all the elements to define the tune as
pure jangle-pop at its best. Never been in Leeds, but after hearing this song seems a great place to call home...
