The Nights are Drawing In- Soul Song from 'Corfu Blues'

I've been meaning to post a link to this song, The Nights are Drawing In,  for quite a few months, even though it hasn't been through the full remix and other post-production adjustments.

I wrote the lyric many years ago (the situation is entirely imaginary), but Raul Scacchi has given the tune an excellent arrangement, and Stefania Kaloudis (Stefanie) has given it a deep, sad, heart-felt rendering .

I always found it difficult to sing this song myself- for technical reasons. Corina Hamilton also did a great job on it, but her version was never recorded. Here's Raul's own demo version.

The song lyric appears in my book "Corfu Blues" (pp93-94), Ars Interpres, Stockholm, 2006.
