"The Hunting of the Snark" von #MikeBatt hört man ja auch viel zu selten. Das ändere ich gerade mal wieder. Immer noch schön :-)

Day 6/30 (or thereabouts) of my #TV4Children #ThemeTunes and this IS the greatest. I think I've all their albums - #MikeBatt is a musical genius.

4K blu ray... lots of bonus features but missing the one I hoped would be on it: Mike Batt talking about "Bright Eyes" - the song that saved the movie from a short run in the theatre. #mikebatt

Book cover: “The Closest Thing to Crazy: My Life of Musical Adventures” by Mike Batt (Bonnier, 2024); audiobook read by Mike Batt (Nine Eight Books, 2024)

An engaging account of Batt’s long career in the volatile world of songwriting, performance and music production. Whereas many autobiographies skew heavily towards the early years and then drop into a perfunctory void, Batt provides even coverage most of the way through. #MikeBatt

Don't let the memory die
Children of the sky
Heroes of the sea

And as your life passes by
Remember how it feels to be
Children of the sky

#MikeBatt is a songwriting legend. I mean, Bright Eyes - a masterclass in emotion.

He's very active on Twitsphere - be wonderful if he crossed to the blueside.
