Barcelona
By: Steve Swindells
This is an epic, sweeping, evocative, piano-led, free-form ballad from Steve Swindells' alter-ego Thom Topham featuring the mellifluous flugelhorn of Sade band member Stuart Matthewman. Written in Barcelona in 1988, it's a lyrical travelogue of one man's voyage of discovery.
