1.  Listen (Kemp)
This just had to be the opener with its long, dreamy, voices-only intro, used as a lead-in to one of Chris’s signature-tune guitar pieces.

2.  This Night (Catterall)
Definitely a new sound for Whinchat – and the one that drove us to decide to get an input from Dave and Faz to add the extra depth that this one called for.  Many thanks to both for allowing us to realise the idea.

3.  Every Once in a While (Kemp)
The classic four part Whinchat harmony sound throughout – doubling up at the end into a rolling 2 x 4-voice fade-out.

4. The Nearness of You (Catterall)
A straightforward love song using a soft electric piano background as the core.
Another ‘typical Whinchat sound’.

5.  How Will I Know (Kemp)
Classic Kemp.  The slower verse leads into a much faster chorus with a ‘walking bass’ backing.

6.  Something’s Right (Catterall)
After a short intro section, Fairlie takes the lead vocal with a chamber-orchestra backing.  Mary adds the harmony towards the end and it all celebrates that comfortable time when it all feels right.

7.  Away I Go (Kemp)
Bernie takes (nicks!) lead vocal on one of Chris’s songs with Mary providing the main backing.  Then Chris and Fairlie take the choruses, and all four of us provide even more backing vocals.

8.  The Way It Is (Kemp)
You can’t change things if it's just ‘the way it is’.  Allegedly, this one came to Chris in the middle of the night and was completed the following morning.  Chris leads and adds a cool synth middle section whilst the rest of us provide the backing.

9.  Give It A Light (Kemp/Catterall)
Chris had the idea for this one in the 70s but the old words and arrangement weren’t right for now.  We all care about world debt, don’t we?  So it was the perfect opportunity to take a song and make a point.  Music from Chris, lyrics from Bernie.

10.  Given The Chance (Catterall/Kemp)
Fairlie starts off with a plaintive intro that leads into a much heavier bass and drum-driven celebration.  Bernie had the original idea then Chris added the melody and words.  Faz had a field day on this one.  We love it.

11.  That’s Fine (Kemp) 
Chris nearly always writes songs with Mary in mind – she must have had more songs written about her than any other woman!  This is another one - to celebrate their three hundredth anniversary.  Honest.

12.  Different Ways (Catterall)
When Bernie wrote this his last two had been ‘Now’ and ‘Nearness of You’ – both love songs.  This was a quite deliberate go at writing a song aimed at the opposite end of the spectrum in a relationship – but he still couldn’t resist the twist at the end.
The ‘phlanged’ instrumental section was fun to do.

13.  Very Nice (Kemp/Catterall)
A song that Chris had written where the original chorus didn’t feel right – Bernie eventually had an idea for a replacement in the car on the way home from a recording session.  It all gelled into a nice little song.

14.  Now (Catterall)
A love song about how it is to have lost touch then maybe to have regained it.  Chris was in his element putting the brass section to the long, faster piano instrumental section.

15.  Getting There (Kemp)
The brass band and string orchestra sounds sits behind Chris’s lead vocal in this one until the ‘full choir’ backing vocals also hit in.  This one’s a joy to sing and so it’s a fitting final track.
