about

This 1st-take live acoustic recording is of one of both Boo & I's favourite songs ever written: What a Wonderful World.

We performed the song live together for the first time in October last year when Boo was my guest on a live show.

This version, engineered at Chem19 recording studios in Blantyre by Derek O’Neill, captures the warm acoustic sound and feel which represents exactly what the audience will experience when they come to one of our live shows...

On my 2022 tour of Scotland, Boo will be my guest on the Mull date of the tour (16th November at An Tobar) and will join my show with HORSE at Cumbernauld Theatre on November 6th for a special launch performance of the single.

lyrics

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you,
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night,
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you." I hear

Babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know,
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
