Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are few surprises for Blue Nile fans on this first solo album from singer Paul Buchanan, save perhaps for the general mood of stability: even the emotional turbulence sketched in “Wedding Day” is recollected in tranquillity.
It's an unashamedly middle-aged affair, from the quietly moving affirmation of devotion in “Two Children” to the comforting reverie of “I Remember You”. The line in “My True Country” about going “far above the chimney tops” surely refers as much to Marc Chagall's floating lovers as to Blue Nile's debut A Walk Across The Rooftops. The songs are like fragments of time frozen in old photographs, replete with tiny epiphanies amidst mundanity.
