Prefab Sprout - Don't Sing

[baahead]

An Absolute Classic!!!!!!

[theroaringcataract]

One of the best tracks off 'Swoon', probably my favourite Sprout album (although I've doubtless said that about all of them at some point...). Never even knew they made a video for this one, but I love its raw simplicity, and Paddy's harmonica in a harp rack busker look. Great, great tune.

That is pop music the way I like it...

[Thadwebbs]

My favourite song of theirs.

[frankysandwich]

Anyone know why it's called 'Don't Sing'?

[redhectormusic]

How come I have never even heard of the existence of this music video? I would like to know the back story on this video...or know what alternate universe this was just pulled from.

Paddy McAloon wrote this song after he reads Graham Greene's "The Power and The Glory".

Rob me of colour and make the sound duller, but Paddy never go away!

There's so much to love here. Dangerous songwriting.

Looks like Prefab Sprout dropped by right after Tears for Fears shot their video. hehe
