Equation - He Loves Me

Cara Dillon and Seth Lakeman, two of the leading acts in the UK and Irish folk scene, were both formerly members of Equation, a folk supergroup signed to Warner label Blanco y Negro in 1995 by Geoff Travis. They recorded one album, Return To Me, which was shelved by the record company just before its release (but was released by Rough Trade Records after Travis bought the masters), but the lead single, He Loves Me, got a release in 1996 with a full promotional video. The video became available on Ebay recently and with a stroke of luck I had the winning bid. Here it is in all its glory. Seth appears to be a bit of a spare part, but Cara is glowing in all her youth and mid nineties fashion! Enjoy...

Poor Seth - hes obviously GAGGING to be more in the spotlight of that video. His meloncholic dramatic glances to the camera are wasted, should be way more shots of him...

It is. Sean confirmed it last night.

I love this song. I love Equation. I have to say I really like Cara Dillon and Kate Rusby, but I think they were better as part of Equation, the same way Andre and Sharon Corr just do not sound as good outside of The Corrs. It is a tragedy that Equation failed, I think they could have reached a wider audience than either Cara or Kate do today. That said, they gave us three great albums, I just wish the people who made them could have gotten the fame they deserve.

Thank you for sharing the video.

Equation made three albums, not just one. Hazy Daze & The Lucky Few were the other two.
