I was label-less at the time, I wouldn't quite say penniless but there was no more lobster. Shack, the mothership in a way, had disbanded and we went our separate ways, which was still only about ten minutes from each other on foot. I was living at my girlfriend Sarah's then and me Ma, who was ill, lived just down the street on Kenny. So most of the day, l'd go between the two. We'd all congregate at me Ma's. Me, John, my sister Joanne and a host of other acquaintances coming and going. There were always two or three guitars knockin' round the house so a lot of the time, me and John would end up in one of the rooms playing each other our new ideas for songs, such as Queen Matilda and Something Like You. At the time Liverpool was like a big mop top of creativity and the idea that we were just Strands plucked from it. We were to record in Steve Powell's studio, at the corner of Mount Pleasant and Clarence Street. It wasn't like any other studio I had worked in. You got the feel of the place immediately. It had a great atmosphere primarily because it had lots of windows. It was like being in someone's flat. The album's title could not have been called anything else. Magical. The best way I can describe the whole period is like what John portrays on one of his later songs. You're sitting on the platform of a railway station in the middle of nowhere. The next train's gonna be hours. It's a blistering hot summer's day and as you look down at the train track you see these vapours shimmering on the tracks. Colours. Movement. And it grabs hold of you and you can't take your eyes out of it. Like when you were a kid sitting on the kerb, putting your fingers on the tar bubbles. A parked car pulls away and the residue of oil makes little oceans of wonder. And for that moment you don't have a care in the world. Or even if you do, for that moment you're somewhere else. That's what making Magical was like. Mick --- https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kaxDqOTGJ8B7yGjqb2SubAZLHG7QlBjJI
